I agree, but riding (riding, not racing) around 25th isn't his actual level either.

Agree, if he race with effort should be around 8th-10th place every race. 

In Spain looked like a Rider with no soul riding that bike and you look at CV10 pushing the others Ducati and was an eye opener for me

The current leader of the EMX250cc championship, Francisco Garcia, will compete in the MX2 class at the next GP in Lacapelle-Marival (confirmed at the end of the video, 40:25).

BUD have a good thing going. Garcia is awesome to watch and obviously fast, and Cannon's fitness and speed is on point.

I put him up with the Resulis lads for the weekend

I think the Ducati 450 performs worse than last year, and the other bikes took steps in the right direction, creating an even bigger gap to bridge for the riders. 

If it is related to chassi and suspension it could be easier for Bonacorsi and Vlanderen to compensate, dince they are taller and maybe can wrestle their way around.

Seewer on the other hand is shorter, and maybe can’t manhandle the bike the same way. He is experienced enough to not crasch his brain out when the difference is a 16th or a 21st. 

I think Ducati is run by asphalt experts who went the wrong direction, and it takes time, money and admitting you went wrong to correct it. Seewer didn’t suddenly forget how to ride a bike imho.

The thing is, the results started to fall off at Kawasaki. And yes, everyone knows they have had issues etc. But i do think the trend down started there no matter what bike Seewer is on.

But i could be wrong, the only way to know is if he gets on a third bike.

Yeah that’s true. I like JS91 so I might be a bit biased. 
I always find it sad and hard to admit when there’s a changing of the guard. I’m old and I can’t help it 🤷‍♂️

Why does he change so much? Is he hard work or another moto dad causing problems?

A good question. 

Chambers is a small team(relatively) doing good things with what they have, i hope it works out for both of them. 

Be interesting to see if he is at Lyng for Rd3 of Motul ACU British Championship this weekend.

I think it's been mentioned on here that his dad is a problem. Sadly, for whatever the reason is, riders who switch teams a lot never really have a long career...

Id love to see him join the British. Its getting rather stacked with foreign talent which is a good thing!

The series is definitely trending the right way. Now we just need a round back at Desertmartin next year & were sweet!

MX2 is stacked, MX1 not so much.
