Hell of a birthday weekend for Cole. I look forward to his future career.

He’s talented & smooth 4th race in I thought he would run away with it.  Manager said we expect it & wait because we hv plans to control it.  Not many young guys let a team mold them . Do exactly as there told . Get rid of sloppy habits & focus on winning.  Cole is racing for the championship from the beginning & points.  Can’t say anyone else was, maybe Jo but he started riding good & got hurt .  I bet the team at Southwick said points , back it down . Looked like he had the speed to battle Sasha but quickly settled in for good points.  You crash out going Mach 5 .  Smart racing

Cole is another Jett.

My only concern is that the Yamaha 450 may not be as good as those HRC 450s.

 

Maybe he'll make the 450 switch. 

people think the Yamaha is subpar because the dangerboy can't win on it....as his mechanic Duff said, the bike is really good. i'm guessing Cole adapts to it quickly

Take their winning 250 outdoor season (second season for both of them) and Haiden had more overall wins and more moto wins, and won by a larger margin than Cole Davies did.  When you say Cole Davies stats are better, you are saying they are better in regional sx and that Cole has better stats in the same amount of races comparatively.  But that's running the stats in your favor and ignoring the above stat that I mentioned.  

In case you missed it, the hypocrisy with Deegan haters is in saying that Deegan won in one of the weakest fields ever and that made him look better than he is, and essentially ignoring that motif when it comes to Cole Davies.  Sacha Coenen came over and easily beat Davies in 3 out of 4 motos, so say what you want about Deegan, but he destroyed the 250 class outdoors and was more dominant than Davies has been in it.  Yet, with Haiden we get, 'the class is one of the weakest ever' while with Cole Davies we get, "The best is yet to come."
 

You’re ignoring the biggest factor in all of this (most likely on purpose) which is the amount of time in the class. It’s like you have this weird thing that every one is a fan boy and treats certain riders like you do or something. I can’t speak for everyone of course but I’ve said Sacha is better than Davies at the moment. I’m not denying that. I can only base my comments about you on what you’ve said. 

It’s like saying Christian Craig is better than Hunter because he beat him in that 250 SX championship. Also I am not backing away from our 250 class being weak but what I did say is that Davies was the best guy hands down. Deegan was a beast on the 250 and no doubt the best guy in his 250 days but translating that success to the 450 was going to be a challenge because even he was getting beat right up until the very end of his time in the class.

Bunch of people said I was nuts before Pala when I said he was gonna take outdoors. First full outdoor season and he cleaned house. Only issue next year is Coenen might be a problem if he stays off the ground.  Outdoors, I don’t see anyone touching him in SX. Still reminds of an even better Ernesto.

If Cole keeps progressing at his current rate he will have sascha covered outdoors next year. Too solid, too consistent.

Ignoring the "biggest factor in all of this"?  I literally said that you are likely referring to the fact that, "...that Cole has better stats in the same amount of races comparatively" so not only did I not ignore that, I addressed it.  Whether that's the biggest factor is debatable since history has shown time and time again that a fast start does not necessarily mean a fast finish.  RC struggled for the first two seasons in the sx premier class, but is 4th on the all-time wins list now, ahead of Chad Reed who had much better results in his first two premier sx seasons.  

Your assumption is that Cole's trajectory will continue at the same pace, and get better (the best is yet to come), so for you to leverage that assumption against Deegan's current 450 results is dubious at best.

Here I am congratulating a kid on his championship. Here you are diminishing it.

Kindly fuck off.

Same for SX - Deegan won in his third year, Davies in his second.

Boom, killshot! Davies won his first full season in 250 mx. Thanks for playing. Come again. 3rd youngest rider ever to win 250 mx/sx in the same season. The other two? Couple dudes named James and Ricky

Crazy stat. As dominant as Star racing have been, this is the first time they've swept all 3 250 titles.
