It smacks of tampering to only have his riders on the team. Obviously no Kawasaki rider is allowed on the team by their employer as long as Decoster manages, who knows what else goes on. I'm not saying Decoster is guilty of anything beyond keeping Kawasaki riders off the team, but it is certainly not above reproach, and is a suspicious, bad look. With Chase and his dad wanting to go and Honda saying they would support his effort, it's weird what went on there too, given who his future boss is. Guess we will never know and it is...

Unbelievable... big dollar contracts, endless podcasts and loud mouth youtube channels. First over hyping the USA AMA Mickey Mouse series and now duck away when it's about the world wide pride. Come on you soft boiled eggs and I might cheer you on. Respect to Zach Osborne for the effort.

That's the American way, money before country!

Febvre by my calculations has done 6 additional races this season. 3x Dutch Masters, Hawkstone, Lierop and Kieheuvel internationals, I may have missed one, that’s just from memory, but that would take him to 26 races by the end of the year. Not quite as many as the full US schedule, but still a substantial amount of races. The other thing to consider is the format of the two schedules. Yes the US schedule has 31 races, but all of them, with the exception of SMX that has some practice on Friday, are one day events. So that’s 33 race...

How are they able to send a team overseas? USA (Greatest nation in the entire universe) can't send a team because we need 8 full works bikes, mechanics, spare parts, our girlfriend, dog, trainer, family, 5 star hotel and business class flights, and we also need to be 2 WEEKS before the event to beat jet-lag, oh! And don't forget, we need the track smooth otherwise the event is rigged for the europeans.

Makes about as much sense as a 3 round world championship play off series held in one continent lol.

about tree fiddy

You cannot be serious? You really just compared DF to Dean Wilson?...Did you forget when DF won back-to-back sx titles, a 250 outdoor title, 450 outdoor title and how he is CURRENTLY 2nd in points? Like right now...he is the second-best guy in the series lmao. The dude is going to finish 2nd in the 450 class and you guys are saying he should go buy a bike from a dealer and spend his own money to go race. Get real lmao.

you've made a lot of points, so this breakdown might get lengthy.... 1. Lets cover this supposed "too many many man-made tracks" argument... Man-made/car-park: 3 - Spain (not a car-park, but I'll put it in here), Lombok, Turkey Natural: 16 - Argentina, Sardinia, Frauenfeld, Trentino, Agueda, France, Latvia, Teutschenthal, Sumbawa (recently made, but amazing), Czech, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Maggiora, Great Britain so.... 16-3 in favour of natural/non-man-made tracks. Can we please stop saying this now? 2. Best racing so far this year, without a doubt.... Lombok Worst racing so far this year, without a doubt.... Sweden, close second Teutschenthal...

I'm on my third playthrough of this pod. To say I enjoy it is an understatement, I don't think I've re-listemed to a podcast since the Johnny Campbell Whiskey Throttle Show. It does sound like two buds shooting the breeze sometimes, but that adds to the coolness IMO. If you ever doubt that Lewis can bring the hard hitting 'dateline' style, then listen to his Adam Bailey Uncensored pod. It did seem like Jeffrey gave tons of props to Tomac, Cairoli, Prado, and Jett. I was surprised that he didn't say anything about any 250 guys being gnarly but also...

Reminds me of one year at Millville, as track crew I would spectate on Mt. Martin. I would cheer for the Sexton/Tomac battle and an AMA official came and told me I couldn't cheer trackside for TV purposes... No chance I'm holding back cheers for a good battle. Absolutely not! We are all fans of this sport. Catch me trackside giving them the windmill

Imagine being so stupid you listened to something you didn't enjoy for 2 hours 😂 Maybe you should you partake in something you'd find more enjoyable, may I suggest licking the nearest available window?

Most teams these days just have one engine package. On the 250 side you might see a cam and mapping change between SX and MX season, but the majority of 250 teams have all their guys on the same package. 450s are mostly the same, Lawrence and Sexton are a rare exception to that. Some teams also have a high-altitude package. Which could be a small change such as a lighter flywheel, different mapping, and fuel. Some teams bump their compression at high altitudes with either a different piston or decking their cylinder/head a bit more. What could be different...
