X2,i bet if he won he would have stuck around.

Agreed

Yup! To me, him leaving says a lot about his character. The IG battle with him a Jett was kinda dumb, but seeing his butt patch today, I’m glad Jett went out and straight up beat him in the first moto. Even better that he got the overall.

You’d think he’s stay around and support the team that is paying him X amount of $ the last few years and will continue to pay him for the next two.

Bingo, a team celebration also.

Looks like a pouty boy move. Not anyone's fault so why leave?

Yeah but I figured he’d stay and congratulate the winner.. Just thought it was strange but he’s a grown man and free to leave I suppose.

I will give you JS7 (who had wins for them) and even a push on Barcia (who had wins for them), but neither Peick nor 2019 Reed were remotely title or even race win contenders

JGR They have had lots of time, talent and $$ to prove that they are a top tier team. They have never showed that in their results.

Aggressive for sure, but definately not a deliberate take down or contact

Complete bullshit if someone cried about him hopping across. That's all part of the track and it was a smart line!

Won't need to handle that. Have you seen ET's starts vs AC's?

Yep, and ktm/husky can get upset and act like they wouldn’t use team tactics.. like kawi did

Wonder if he lets AC by will AC throw him a little something or stiff him like Eli did to Joey...

AC would pass him anyway. No need for team orders...or a thank you, afterwards.

AC wins a couple of Nationals and he's all of a sudden the no.1 guy at Kawi?

I think Barcia will come to life on the Austrian brand, I can't wait to see him bouncing the rev limiter on the Gas Gas. The Austrian bike may suit his style better than the Japanese. I'm curious how he would do on the three fifty too? I might even go buy a Gas Gas, Awesome!

Times have changed in the sense that KTM shifted it's focus away from EnduroGP. You can bet if they still had a Factory Team that either Holcombe or Freeman would be on it.

Yeah...KTM is all-in on WESS (which I love). The FIM tried to strong-arm WESS, and got nowhere. The real irony is that the FIM acts like they're protecting the purity of the sport (and craps on WESS any chance they get, implying that it's not "real enduro"), but WESS allows amateurs out there with the heroes. I watch every single WESS race on Red Bull TV (for free!), and rarely bother to follow WEC. So yeah, I think KTM is just fine...PDS or linkage.
