No shit.... some people have no sense. And I'm a Suzuki man.... Underneath it all, it's just an old, forgotten, RMZ 450 that nobody gives 2 shits about. Probably an old show bike, that had a dressed dummie sitting on it beside the rig that entire year. Maybe it was used for practice at home a bit, who knows???

Does it come with a list of excuses?

I generally like Ken. Amazing talent. Mad respect for his battle back from horrendous injuries. Screaming cheered his SX win with the kickstarter this year... ...but be honest with yourself, he is a bit of a whiner and excuse maker.

Holy shit man...don't criticize anything Roczen...you'll invoke the wrath of the easily offended mob. (See Kens bike thread) I thought the same thing when I saw the vid of him doing that jump. While very cool, as a team leader paying salaries or sponsors, I'd be pissed.

Hi-Torque publishing was the best in moto when I was a kid. MXA, Dirt Bike and Cycle News kept me checking the mailbox for years. RIP Mr. Hinz

The most impressive, ground-breaking thing Roland did was to green light allowing Hunky and every other writer to thumb their noses at the advertising department (and writers at other pubs). Their tests and opinions were honestly legit. If they found a bike to be unrideable, they said so. Example: The Widowmaker TM400 Suzuki. https://motocrossactionmag.com/the-worst-bikes-i-ever-raced-by-jody-wei…

You think top guys are going to go run a series in their only 2 months off the entire year?

Yes, because so far all customers are Stark insiders.

It's not the schedule; more events is not going to be very welcome given the number of existing dates. And it does not sound like the promoter's goal is a niche series of a few rounds slotted into the existing MX/SX offseason. They have to compete head to head for talent by making it worth more to riders to participate there than the OEMs and sponsors pay them to ride the existing US Series or the GPs. There is no way around that unless one of the existing series folds.

CPR will comment soon to tell you why the wsx schedule is brilliant. He has to be getting paid or know the wsx people at this point. Dude is balls deep(as pulp would say)in defending wsx.

A couple of these Aussies are letting national pride get in the way of common sense and they are having a hard time seeing beyond the flag…CPR’s not too bad though but he is definitely a little bit of an Adam Bailey cheerleader…

The Ducati MX bike is a real thing and will make noise when it arrives, with high ends techs never seen before on a MX bike and great quality products. The Webb rumor is totally false, don't expect them in the US before at least two or three years, although they indeed speak with teams. One making a lot of sense, let's wait and see. They expect to be in MXGP maybe to get their feet in 2024, not sure, but with a rider able to win in 2025. Exciting times.
