idk man, we're the type of consumers that buy sitckers and clothing to advertise for companies who don't even know we exist.

Maybe not deegs, but i think star has had an effect on people buying yamahas, lots of yz250f's around.

Anecdotally, the wheelie boys seem to prefer Yamahas.

Forato deserves a collective apology starting with Cooper

No mate, you rode into the back of him. If he had it hit you, you would have known about it. Lack of racecraft showing through

not a takeout at all imo

Check out the fan video in Mxon the races thread. Clearly show Forato ahead of Kitchen and Levi ran into the back of him. Racing incident.

What it says is that our tracks have become cookie-cutter tracks molded over original layouts. Time for the promoters to start making changes with the riders careers in mind instead of filling up their wallets. The variety and types of tracks in Europe blows our tracks away.

Looks like the turn was pretty much completed before contact was made from that angle. Nothing resembling a takeout move .

Vital: " probably pissed he couldn’t get around a 250 cleanly" Webb: "we've got a target on our backs" Kitchen: "he just hit me wide open. It was pretty insane"

Sacha was so close to yardsaling it

Yeah not a takeout from our angle (imo) that said to be fair to Levi from the rider's pov it isn't always easy to tell, especially before you've seen any footage there is. Just racing/lines coming together. Alberto sounded in his post race interview completely genuine to me when he said he barely noticed any contact or even knew Levi had gone down (or words to that effect), and I'd say the footage backs that up.

Just curious? Did anyone ask Julien Beamer* if he knew team Latvia was right behind him in race three, and what it meant if they passed him. I think he did solid.

I take back everything I said about the Forato "takeout". That was 100% on Levi. This video kind of makes Coop's comments before Race 2 sound silly. Read many other accounts of people who saw it live saying the Levi's front end got sawed off. Levi basically ran into the back of Forato.

tf takeout my ass 😂 lines came together thats it. Forato had the line, already made the pass almost whole bikelength ahead. Kitchen shouldve checked up a bit, he didnt, he goes down. Everything happens fast so I dont blame him - Racing incident.

Footage from Forato and Kitchen

That wasn’t a takeout. Kitchen left the door WIDE open.

How about the same organisation that supplies bikes to Star? You do know that Star ISN'T Yamaha? They'r simply managing the factory effort. If Yamaha Japan wanted to supply a factory bike to another team, they would.

Yup and his teammate who did plenty of winning said if he had switched brands he wouldn't have retired. Yes it was paradise at Kawi.
