A palm reader would clean house in the SX pits

That’s a PT Barnum quote and ironically Minear is part of the “circus” now.

Chase tried Levi's bike which is PC components yes. They only had 2 sets of it, practice and race and Chase raced Levis practice set last week and they sent it back to Florida for Levi to practice on per usual. So Kawi put the PC fork settings in the factory showa stuff and then placed inserts in the clamps so it could hold the production 49mm forks. This isn't a case of the factory bike being bad, simply a different setting that Chase really enjoyed and they placed it on the bike this week for A2 and he won...

Sorry if this is annoying, I'll leave it alone after this. Interesting stuff about Kawasaki and Coop in the bottom link though! A2 Insights A2 DataLab

Hey there’s a battle for the lead but let’s do a split screen and focus on these 3 riders battling for 6th.

Decoster's recent comments on Prado's setup sort of confirmed what I was thinking throughout last summer - Prado didn't know what he wanted and had the Kawi team chasing their tails. KTM group in Europe knew the secret sauce and was probably having a good laugh.

The same bike that had AP confused why he was spit off. Wait until George and Eli start having the strange shock issues Chase and Tom had last year and that AP had last weekend

Deegz didn't look too happy interviewing with JT 🤣

This is actually a great example as the answer is in the photo you posted. Those are older (10-15 years?) KTM clamps. See if you can find a photo of those same clamps, but from the bottom and it will make more sense. The bottom is hollowed out, with a largely non-sensical rib pattern. People would comment that those old KTM clamps are super stiff, but it was actually just the opposite. Those clamps are absurdly flexy, to the point where the left and right fork tubes become mis-aligned under load and bind up making everything feel harsh. They also...

Hahah i caught that “no decent team” would stand for this shit. But Team Lord of the Flies Yamaha sure loves it hahah

Plenty of downtime for storytime.

WP Forks showing up by round 3.

i think not racing WSX for a few rounds was a mistake by sexton. I think the real race environment helped roczen and tomac immensely. The two gapped the field by 30sec. the fact the 26 sx title could come down to those two as their swan song is fvckin awesome.

We wanna see him in a mesh tank top

He clearly got Prados old bike.

j coop skimmed, hes reading vital!
