Ok so he didn’t mention it in the translation that you quoted but it was mentioned elsewhere that he said his hand was numb nonetheless. So yeah, caps lock or not half of us believe he didn’t “just pull off”. Have a nice day!
OK! 😆 Provide some evidence to back up your statement otherwise you’re just full of shit.
And don’t say Weege said he heard Levi say.
Doesn’t really matter anyway he’s fine
I like Kitchen but he is turning into Forkner version 2.0 🤔
Mathes says it’s all mental for Kitchen’s starts then why are the first four bikes going into the first turn Star?

needs to fix his posture on the bike.
If Levi was holeshotting every race he would be leaps and bounds ahead of the other guys in the class. I have to think like others have said, if he had the HP of a star 250 he wouldn’t have to keep coming 15 position through the pack every single race
Edit: Cole Davies is also an absolute savage .. so I retract my “ leaps and bounds” statement
Hammaker and Romano were consistently starting up front before they went out with injury. The narrative was how much faster the Kawis had gotten and how they'd closed the gap. Now due to Kitchen's inability to start or stay off the ground, they are "down on horsepower."
Kitchens like 160lbs, he still should be able to get good starts on a 250. He better step it up, 7 points is doable for Davies.
Based on Levi’s history, the points may as well be tied. I would say the next race is a must-win for him. Davies is just too consistent off the gate to not be the favorite still.
For sure. Seth is a great 250 rider. Shame he’s out. Romano is gonna be great if he can get back on the horse and not fade. Talk about a feel good story. Pulling for him
Levi did have a Star bike for a few seasons and he was getting the same starts as he is now lol
You got me there. Lol
His history shows he cannot close the deal. Julien will likely catch him too

I might have been a little harsh on him. But only 4 podiums and 2 moto wins out of 16 motos. With Shimoda out and Deegan gone. He’s a fraud
Mike Alessi might be available to hire as a starting coach in 3-6 months depending on good behavior.
He'll want to wear his fishnets to the track though...
Overrated an over paid
I mean he’s got the red plate so this is just objectively untrue lol
That said I don’t think he can bring it home over Davies, but he’s not overrated hah
Pit Row
Agreed, you have to be in it to win it, but damn, Davies has had some very unfortunate motos and Seth is out, Jo is out, chance is…..well idk but if Levi doesn’t win it this year he needs to just move up. Literally just practice starts, don’t even moto.
Really sucks for him how 2024 SX unfolded. He was clearly the best guy that season, even had good starts and all that. If not for that incident with Mcadoo, he could sit on a 450 now. Now it seems like he will be on the 250 for he next couple years still.
He has the red plate with like seven laps led. He is really lucky to be in that position this year imo. But he just lost like 20 points to Davies without even crashing out this weekend. My money is on Davies unless Davies has a super shitty weekend again.
IMO it's his posture in general, looks like he's not using his core and rounds his shoulders forward to compensate.
No idea on his root cause, but it's a common condition when people sit too much, or come back from injury too soon and adjust their posture to compensate for discomfort.
AC didn't have an issue getting holeshots on a 250 and he must have weighed close to 175-180lbs. He was going up against Star bikes with Ferrandis and JCoop on them weighing 135lbs probably lol. Some guys just have a badass trigger finger, some don't. Period. Kitchen will never rip consistent holeshots. Neither will Deegan IMO. They can improve them. But they arent ever going to an Alessi, a Prado, a Lawrence. Just something you're born with
Fun fact: 2024 West SX Levi was the best avg starter and had 4 holeshots. Outdoors 2024 Levi had an avg start of 6.2 (3rd best) with 4 season holeshots. How did he go from that to being outside the top 15th of pretty much every start this year in both SX and MX?
