I do appreciate your support, but there really is no reason for Lewis to be drug into this. He is a fantastic journalist and has helped me out a tremendous amount. Again, everything will work out and I have no animosity. But thank you for enjoying what I've done.

And Dunge was coming off his retirement couch going up against absolute units in Chase and Eli. Remember Roger shitting on Caleb Russel too after all the titles he won for KTM. He just wanted a crack at the Nationals before he retired

This thread is a prime example of too many people having an opinion and getting involved on a situation that does not involve them.

Christ, this thread needs to be locked This is not the same as a factory rider losing their job, it’s a dude who lost his job within the industry Don’t need people’s personal lives posted on the board, it’s between vital and dark only

We just started a multi-track comparison of the standard MX34 va ths Factory spec. We did a few times three lap average sessions at Cahuilla yesterday and one of our test riders Steven Tokarski was averaging 1.5-2 seconds a lap faster on the spec tire over standard… Going to attempt again at Perris and GH, plus mix the tires around to see where most of the time benefits are coming from. Lastly, going to put 8-10 hours on each set to check wear and re-test times at the end.

2-3 years it will be something new again.

Totally agree. Big DB fan but this isn’t even extreme office politics, it’s actually normal. The young hotshot engineer doesn’t get their shot at leading the technical roadmap until the incumbent moves on, in spite of HR and customers telling him or her they are the greatest gift ever. Sometimes it’s easy to see who has had jobs outside of the industry where they worked for a big company and who hasn’t.

When JMB was with Honda he couldn't believe the amount of waste they made, throwing away perfectly good parts, tires, plastics and air filters after one ride. They were washing them with gasoline and causing the foam to break down.

I think you have it backwards, DB is the nerd and RC/tv crew are the cool kids running the show. Hopefully someday we get a revenge of the nerds situation and we get the competent broadcast team in the booth and also directing the camera action. Until then we just have to be happy it’s on TV and if you get the Black Friday deal you are only paying $1.99 a month for it

ill probably get downvoted for this, but i dont understand why people get so tore up about the broadcast. could it be better? yes. will they change anything to make it better? no. people have complained for how many years, and i cant think of one thing thats been changed for the better. it is what it is. i dont give a shit who is in the booth. they could put leigh, todd, rc, cameron steele, weege, will, jamie little, and erin bates all in the booth at the same time and i would still happily watch every single race...
