You guys think Lewis is nut hugging Chase but youre not realizing the hugging is fake.  Lewis doesnt care about Chase any more than any other rider.  He plays to Chase in order to get the interview.  Its worked.

So now if we don’t like someone it’s automatically because they’re foreign and we don’t understand them? I dislike Wil, Diffey, Lewis, and Gypsy for various reasons, none of which pertain to their accent or country of origin. Get out with this BS take. Lewis has a giggly fanboy persona I don’t care for that has zero to do with the fact he’s British. 🤦🏼‍♂️

You could say ‘plays to chase’ but it seems more like they click on a comedy and personality level. Lewis doesn’t change his personality for each rider, which is why you get him calling the scoop Elis security blanket to the most powerful guy at KTM… 

And joking/pushing Eli in a similar way to chase.  Eli isn’t on board, they don’t click, etc etc etc

Lewis is one of if not the most consistent interviewers in terms of personality and the questions he asks. And we should fucking applaud that. 

He’s not trying to be a chameleon in order to nut hug every single person and not have any real personal opinion like say… Gypsy.  Lewis is core as fuck, it’s just that the British humour and connection through irony and and sarcasm, as a massive generalisation, confuses the American brain

Yeah Bro but this is just your opinion so what make’s you right and Spoonguy wrong? Don’t let the 22 Vital Thumb Up’s Boost Your Ego 🙈🤣 Everything I comment on or post immediately receives a barrage of Down Votes 🤪 It doesn’t affect me negatively at all in fact it has the opposite effect, I wear my “Hidden Post” like a badge of honour in this place 😂 And if you don’t like my post feel free to give it a downvote in fact I implore you to do so it only puts a smile on my face 😊

If someone tells me they hate Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and Iron Maiden, I don’t assume they hate foreign metal bands. I might assume they are lame as fuck, but that’s it.

Eli is overly sensitive when it comes to media these days, looks very petty. When he gives so little and is so guarded, you are asking for speculation. 

The guy looked absolutely unreal to start the season, had the red plate. Then has been average as fuck, with little to no fight for position when he ‘should’ pounce on opportunities (Hunter going down). With no rhyme or reason. 

Lewis knows people in the pits. KTM flew the damn guy to their HQ for a tour a year or so ago. He’s not just a clickbait YouTube moron. 

IMO it’s fair game, Eli should know that by now.

I do agree he could tone himself down a little bit for a while, if not ever, but a lot of what he says and does is quite funny to us "non" Americans.

Would not surprise me if this was an Eli burn in the same fashion.....

I would love for a journalist of a major sport (MLB, NFL, F1 etc) to do a trial run of covering our sport and then write an article about the differences in covering it versus the major sports. 

As an aside I could not give one less of a single fuck about ‘job swap’ or whatever gay thing keefer and Matthes have talked about.
