He's mental and a public safety threat at this point.

America is fucked up with shit like this , no where else in the world would this even be a thing Anyone that thinks that it’s ok is fucked in the head

Coop isn’t getting his wrist cleaned up next weekend You guys are unbearable. Every thread. The obsession is unhealthy. Get help!!

I don't believe Star was willing to send him. They wanted him to get that screw out and be 110% ready for A1 . Basically protecting their investment in regards to Deegan. That's what I was told.

This has to be a bad look for Deegan, so star was willing to do it. He just wasn't.

Ppl forget that it was in sx where chase was constantly washing out the front over and over and over and over on the honda. In outdoors vs eli in 22 on the honda he looked like a beast and didnt have the problem. Now on the ktm he once again looks like a beast in the outdoors and indoors if anything by the half way point in the sx season he looked just as fast as he was on the honda but without constantly washing the front. So if anything at this point he appears to be better on...

KTM starting to feel like the CCP. They are hurting the brand more than Chase did with that interview.

Chase and KTM have to realize that an interview like that is GOLD in this industry. Not only for media content, but for information to the fans of the sport. It doesn't make KTM 'look bad'. It just shows that not everything can fall into place so easily in this sport and making wins happen is such a high feat to accomplish. They just came off the most dominant moto win in the current SMX Series. If anything it shows that KTM has figured out the communication with Chase and its going to work a lot better moving forward.

Not necessarily. Ktm has slapped KYB components on the bike to make him happy and constantly working. Both parties seem to understand that they aren’t in the sweet spot and are working to get it done. Perhaps Chase listened to his own interview back and decided he didn’t like it himself. The fact that ML came on here and mentioned what he did was more than I was expecting.

It would be nice to know what exactly happened. Even though we have a pretty good idea Did Vital bend over for KTM and remove the interview? Pretty disappointing from a media/journalism standpoint.

I'll be the first to say, he needs to win a straight up battle with a healthy Jett to really stamp it. I guess I was more addressing the people who all immediately put a * by his titles/wins.

Whatever they do, we hate it.

I'm so confused...do we hate when they groom the shit out of tracks, or do we hate hardpack?

The question we all know the answer to. But want confirmation

The mob only appreciates the last race. "Elito Mac" must've been coined here too, whenever Eli had an off race. Chase "he'll never been Jett 1:1", until he did.

Chase said it is a good bike and it was just about making him comfortable. I didn’t think it reflected poorly on KTM. What rider hasn’t made comments about working on setup. Kenny has commented on issues with KYB and Showa, Eli certainly commented on the Kawi, and Jett just said they need to have a meeting this week to address issues. ..and the list goes on. That KTM has a new (different?) shock for him sends a good message IMO.

Right? “Ah fuck this bike isn’t good in supercross according to sexton. How am I supposed to hit the 40ft table top at chicken licks raceway this weekend? I’m buying a 25 Honda.”

It amazes me that the general public can try to relate what a top professional rider is saying about their bike set up and compare it to their own personal bikes. Any bike purchased today will be about 98% more bike then about 99% of the public needs. Chase speaking about bike set up should have no bearing on bike sales for KTM. It’s a great bike off the showroom floor. Setting it for a supercross track is heads a shoulders over what the general consumer would ever need.
