Funny how the racer parts with class and has nothing but good things to say and the YouTuber creates an entire world of drama and speaks badly about the team when he decides to leave and inevitably puts his foot in his own mouth.

Justin was able to land a paying gig for the rest of the season and next year. Per se, mission accomplished, help guys go racing.

Eventually the big question will to come into focus, and that question is thus: will lithium-ion powered engines eventually become the vehicular equivalent of the fluorescent light bulb? Which is to say, not bad, but far too environmentally harmful to be the real answer - and quickly shuttled off into oblivion once the REAL solution emerges. Hydrogen, the world may be your oyster.

Check out Lyndon Poskitt on YouTube. He's got a 5 rider Team in it this year, and has a full media team set up for it. His coverage of his Malle Moto efforts (2nd in class) in the South American Dakar were great, and, he's got a huge amount of videos covering his exploits on his YouTube channel. Races2Places - he's done 12 video series, so far. I'll probably be following the Eco event, far more than the Saudi 'Dakar'. If only for Lyndons coverage. Cripes, I've had the start presentation of the Saudi event in the background, and there...

I'm going to record a video in a bit on it, but it was an experience that's for sure...we had an eventful day. Nothing too serious but just lots of little things to clean up to make the day roll smoother. In some aspects I think we did a good job as a team but in other aspects I felt like the guys were still on their own a bit. I mostly need to do a better job of designating what others are doing and getting everybody aware of how the day will roll, where stuff is, etc. I was...

It’s an irrelevant question but 2nd place.

For a man who makes a living from this forum, you sure do seem to like to discourage people from talking. I don't get it..

You're right!! It could give him a good head start going in to Hangtown. Especially if Tomac is occupied in a tight SX championship battle, he won't want to turn his head and start prepping hard for outdoors. Marvin to MXGP until May would be awesome!

Does anyone remember when Team Kuwait showed up at the MXON in France and one guy had a box stock RMZ450 that he apparently picked up at a dealership on the way to the track and he was cruising around at half pace with his jersey on backwards?

That's a pretty clean break which would indicate to me a single time overload caused that failure. Since the bike is so new and I'm assuming hasn't had any abnormal crashes, I'd be willing to bet there may have been some sort of issue with the casting in that area. The way manufacturers attach subframes through a single shear bolt joint is a crime against humanity as it is, so any sort of casting flaw in this area compounded with the stress raisers from the threads is just a time bomb waiting to blow. I'd really push the issue, unless...
