A couple of videos from French vloggers are up on You Tube showing Webb and Kitchen doing some laps on the Romagne track in the Bretagne region of France. The vids also show Sacha Coenen and Team Australia riding. They claim that Juju was not riding because he did not have a bike available as of today (Thursday).

One of the French vloggers talked to Coop who gave him his riding pants and asked if the guy could help him with wi-fi for an up-coming vid, so that should be up soon.

That sucks for Beaumer, first race on a 450 and he can't even get some seat time to adjust.

Still hard to believe Webb was racing a Yamaha 450 5 days ago, and now he flys across the Atlantic and is already prepping to be racing a completely different brand bike at the biggest one off race in the sport- all in one week's time.

Nobody can EVER question his attitude (hint hint) when asked to step up.  REALLY hope he does well

Dang, know it’s not the same but would think he could just ride one of the Coenen’s practice bikes or worst case a stocker??

Yeah. This may be a situation where DeCoster could have come in handy on the team...?

No matter the Team manager, someone at KTM should have had him a bike to ride today imo

Come on, I’m sure Pelletier has lots of pull in Austria 😂

He did, but it’s a different bike that he will be riding at MXoN.  They were just trying to get some comfortable settings to put on the bike in France.  I hope he gets to spin some laps tomorrow.

Well qualifying is in 2 days. So I hope you’re right! 

I know they had the shortest possible notice, and I applaud their commitment to the extreme time constraints. But how Team USA would it be if the bike didn’t show up until Saturday morning?

I think people should just be thankful that KTM stepped up in this short time, there is probably logical reasons why the bike wasn't there. Shit happens.

Opposed to how Yamaha has handled this whole thing...
