“You won’t change my mind” What the fuck is the point of having a discussion unless your willing to acknowledge something you might not have thought of, concede a good point, maybe adjust your viewpoint!?

The Kevin Moranz example is a bad one. Moranz isn’t near to the skill level of Jett. You need to compare two riders who are much closer in skill and fitness already.

Totally missing the point. Take Two riders. With very similar, if not the same level of fitness and skill. One goes on a EPO programme, the other stays natural. Is there a benefit? When EPO increases red blood cell production, oxygen supply to muscles is enhanced. This increases stamina – the ability to exert energy and remain active for a long period of time.

Stewie you really are missing the point. You’re correct on the skill aspect. If you give me PEDs and put me on the line with the pros, I won’t win. But what happens if you choose two riders with the same skill, same level of fitness, give one a PED programme and the other goes naturally? Do you still think there will be no advantage?

These responses just make me lol. Sure, I guess being stronger, fitter and having a bigger ixegen supply won’t help one bit. I don’t understand why they even train to begin with.

You can explain the science but don’t want to? You’re the one who started the thread so I think you should take the time to defend your position.

Because being stronger on the bike, mixed with a better supply of oxygen and better fitness won’t equate to being faster longer, right?

This quote is from a road cycling magazine talking about cycling and doping, but it fits for moto. “Listening to the average cyclist talk about doping is like a 4th grader finding a playboy and explaining sex to his friends at school” As someone that spent nearly 10 years in the USADA testing pool, and has likely been tested as many or more times than nearly any athlete in moto, most everyone here has it very wrong when it comes to all of this.

Looks like The Dumbgeon will have another thread soon.

"flex" and "adapt" are verbs. add the "-able" suffix to get an adjective, and from there you get the "-ability" suffix to get a noun. three suffixes for three distinct forms of the same root word. but "comfort" in this context is a noun already. add "-able" to get "comfortable," an adjective, but add "-ability" to get...the same noun? it's redundant. thank god you aren't my lawyer. the case would be cooked

Related to the above, I remember when my son was 2 or 3 using the word "sidewards". I told him it was "sideways". He objected by saying "but it's frontwards and backwards". Makes perfect sense, but it's wrong.

OP did not seem distressed to me. He has a point.

The short answer ; doubtful. But it would be great to see as I still have a bone to pick with RC over cherry picking the last rounds to break Barnetts 125 record. Selfish fucker, but thats an appropriate segue as to why Jett will have a mountain to climb to get near the GOAT's totals. RC had a level of pure desire that is likely going to go unmatched , he's stated he didn't even like the racing or even the winning much after a point, but the desire not to loose was stronger. A rare trait. There's no...

It’s no secret that I hold Jett above any other rider in the world, but after the last two years with all the amount of different drama i doubt that we get to see him race in his 30’s. Injuries, trashy behavior from the crowd/”fans” constant pressure of always being the clear favorite each time that you line up will wear you down really hard. And from the outside it looks that he has plenty of other interests in his life outside of MX. But one thing I wish is that he would do one MXGP season before he hangs...

Disappointment awaits you my friend.

I hope he gets the attention and relevancy that he's craving.
