And some implode when they hit the 450s because “fast” is not the same there as in the 250s…unless you’re Justin Barcia.

This is far from the first time that the factory teams have actually detuned the stock motor to make the power more usable.

Makes no difference. Eli Tomac will probably never have to make the choice to go to the MXoN or not again.

Looks like Tickle made it to Kawie! https://www.vurbmoto.com/adam-cianciarulo-talks-broc-tickle-helping-the-monster-energy-kawasaki-team-as-a-test-rider/

Sounds like what I see on the news every day. It's all about the narrative. Actually, I believe Kenny has supreme confidence outdoors...and Webb has the same indoors. I love the fact that we actually have some racing this year in the outdoors...and both ... more »

Conspiracy Theory Alert!! Do you think that it's at all possible that Kawasaki, with the news that Tomac will jump to Yamaha for 2022, has pretty much distanced themselves from him in the support department? Maybe not listening to him where his bike ... more »

I don't pretend to know exactly what the problem is...but it seems like it's above his shoulders, like it's always seemed to be. That said, Eli is a damn near unbeatable beast when he figures it out...always seems to be that way too.

Tony Alessi could be had...probably for cheap.

It also shows how different the SX & Outdoors are as disciplines. Was there ever a real doubt that Dylan would “come out of his shell” in the outdoors on the 450 with his GP background vs the limitations of the arena tracks? I believe DV and Ferrandis ... more »

If MCR is closing up shop...do you think anybody will offer Tony Alessi any position? I know he was over the top some times when his kids were involved, but he seemed to be a good team manager when there was no emotional attachment. He definitely loves ... more »

Mookie will be good on a Husky.

Mitch is pretty damn loyal to guys he believes in. Look at how long he rolled with AC9, after some guys wrote him off as a "crasher".

Probably "Breaking Wind"

Dean has had more than his share of shitty luck. He's always working hard to be better though, pretty much always moving forward. Will he ever be a real contender? I doubt it...but he does his team name and sponsors a solid every time he posts on social ... more »

Yep...and Dean is very, very good at socially marketing himself. Rockstar Husky gains a lot every time he posts on Twitter, IG or Facebook with their logo on his head, or his t-shirt. I recently saw an IG thing with him giving away a Husqvarna mini to ... more »

In HERE.

Well since you are so hungry for critical thought...perhaps you'd like to add some. That way we can all be enlightened. Actually, it's mind boggling that you would be so critical of the posts others (including myself) offer without adding your own higher ... more »

So is your apparent need for validation.

Cooper will be fine. SX hangover, that's all. Like everybody has said, it's a long season and one race don't mean squat...just like a win at the SX opener. I think when the smoke clears it'll be Cooper, Ferrandis & Roczen.
