The first time I ever heard this “journalist” was a Herlings interview a few years ago that was so cringy and I was instantly convinced he’s a tool. Every time he’s on pulp I’m half tempted to just turn it off. Maybe he’s a great guy away from all of it but he certainly comes off like a pompous douche lately.

Can we talk about the repetitive, over the top and cringe Sexton interviews? Or the inability to present any unbiased analysis of Chase?

Never listened, and going by this thread, I probably never will.

There is correlation, and I would argue causation in Sextons diminishing relevance and the blooming Lewis and Sexton bromance. To test this theory, we all need Lewis to go cold turkey and have no contact for the rest of the year. No job swap, no interviews, no late night txt messages. Lets see if the true natural state of Chase can be reimagined and prosper for the outdoors.

I will say, whoever decided on exactly 1L for an oil change is a gentleman and a scholar. Also installed the Twin Air setup, expensive but very nice.

Was that Lewis on the bike in the main, seems like a odd time to do life swap?

Well junior…when I ride my 450 4 stroke it handles much different than my 125 2 stroke.

Tomac is my age and I'm kinda offended 😭

HONDA KTM YAMAHA!!!!!!!! This bike/frame has literally NO LOAD TRANSFER!!!!!!!! And this is the 2025 pig Prado and Chase have been dealing with. Big head placed in the only way possible... Sorry but Kawasaki engineers need to get some things sorted... Since the Villopoto days in 11/12/13/14... Same problem. Other brands have advanced, kawasaki is standing still. Sorry for my bad english, not many will understand but that's what it is...

This is what i think: The problem is the BIG HEAVY head of the engine Kawi 450s has, how many deegres it is rotated to physically fit into the frame, and how the frame reacts to how the engine and it’s inertia+rotating masses. To me that just it. For most of the users it’s not even noticeable because we’re sleepers, when this guys are ripping bikes at their limits, kawi reaching it before other brands. I’m a big 250 kawi fan, had many of them (11/15/19/21/23), but the big head 450 engine doesn’t work on the same chassis as it...

Although I know there are better tracks in Switzerland (Payerne to mention one), I actually kinda like this one. Gives off the old, old school "let's throw some hay bales out and race." Definitely glad there's only one of these, though.

Seewer to me looks like no agression at all. CV10 looks pushing the bike and doing all he can. Motor sound strong and in mi eyes CV10 bike looks handling well

I spent some brief time looking at some data as well, and the results were surprising. I took a look back at the premier class of the last 25 years 2000-2025. Kawasaki must be doing something right as they lead the way with championships (during this timeframe anyway). A lot of these titles weren't just won, they were mostly dominated. 15 championships in total, 7 supercross and 8 motocross. RV was dominant in supercross winning 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. He missed 3 outdoor seasons due to injury, won both mx championship seasons he completed. Honda, Yamaha and KTM are...

That searching for a feeling is aa cop out phrase that needs to go away. They want it plush but stiff, low in the rear but a planted as heck front end, power , but not too much hit. The list goes on and on. Setup IS important. Searching for a feeling is a magical phrase to throw in any time you're not riding well, or tuck the front for the umpteenth time in your career.

Yeah i think combining Latvia and Sweden would also make a lot of sense. Latvia back to western europe but via Sweden is only a few 100kms extra (with the extra km being a ferry trip from Latvia to Sweden). i guess its always a fight between organizers to get a date they like versus a date that would suit Infront and/or the teams/riders

I really dont understand why Infront does not combine Spain with Portugal. Just looked at google maps and didnt realise Almonte is all the way in the south of Spain. It's over 1100 km just to get to the border of France. Combining Spain and Portugal would save days of traveling (and lots of costs) and it would also fit in nicely in the training program to be in the south of spain/portugal in march to ride in the days in between.
