They need to do something.
To be clear, i am a fan of all of em. But Id put Juju Hymas and Kitchen into the exact some category when it comes to consistency meaning weird crashes and bad starts. Especially with Juju u never really know what u get. None of them lack speed
I agree when you look at the whole season but I’m focus on the current momentum and trend of all 3 and ET. 3 are going up and Kitchen is plummeting.
Maybe Kitchen will step down and let someone else go, or maybe Kitchen will go and win his class, you never know which Levi will show up

It is kind of weird that the top American 250 rider who said he would go isn’t on the team.
So, did kitchen injure himself today? I heard something about further evaluation I thought?
There is more than one Kitchen?
Kitchen is blazing fast but tend to agree. Tomac only going to get better in September I imagine. At end of day, just glad we’re going. Chance is going to do work, Webb’s only issue is brand new bike. Kitchen will do good if he gets a start and keeps it upright.
pretty sure I saw the announcement team is set. It's not fantasy league where you swap guys in and out when you get the urge. Carry on.
Set, unless there are injuries.
Your team has been picked, get behind them ffs.
Put Hymas on the 250 and put in Hampshire or Marchbanks.
I agree. Kitchen can't close a door, much less a title. However, Mitch being there is badass and hoping Kitchen can ride like he is capable of.
Big Kitchen fan but that dude is for sure a knucklehead.
RJ will be adjusting to a new ride, wherever that is. Kawasaki already said they won't put a ride together for Marchbanks as they feel it's to last minute.
Tomac, Hymas and Juju would be the team after today. IMO. Kitchens starts are incredibly bad and Webb will have hardly any motocross time on new bike. Tomac finally looked a bit like himself. It won’t happen but it should.
Hymas on the 250 and why isnt RJ on the open bike?
You guys are so damn disrespectful. It’s absolutely pathetic.
Pit Row
Not sure how you missed RJ saying (many times) he's not open to going due the change in bike brands.
I've seen a house with 2 Kitchens before. Rich people have no shame.
But.... after webb piped up about going, rj said he'd be down on his new ride too.... not sure how You missed that.... 😊
Was this after Coop was already announced as being on the team?

Tomac won't have a bike to ride after smx.
I just heard this on the review pod. I thought he was signed for 2027 SX only with KTM. I guess that isn’t happening now.
The problem with Levi, he always seems to involved in 1st lap incidents. He just can’t stay up for the whole moto.
I need to go look at results but Julien was pretty damn consistent all year IMO…he may have had a couple tough rides but 80-90% of them were SOLID
Stating the obvious here but poor starts in an AMA 250 national are not the same as poor starts at MXdN. He’s toast man. This race is worst case scenario for him. His Achilles heal is the most important thing.
I think after Webb volunteered for the team, RJ said we would do it also. I would put RJ on the 250 or 450, either one you know would be good.
Yeah, I pretty much said the same thing in a thread a few weeks back. Racing against 450’s is a whole different matter.
