I generally trust Yamaha’s over KTM’s any day. If you still race & want extra power maybe the 150 is your bike - otherwise the YZ is an all around, time tested FUN bike. Another point to consider - handling. Have you ridden many KTM’s? Their feel is unique compared to Japanese bikes. Some love it, some hate it.

I don't down vote posts, but If I did.......... No way do I believe Eli has confidence issues. TM

Wow, some of you are so caught up in your Vitarded skirmishes, politics and lack of moto knowledge that you don’t accept or even consider facts. The word covid triggered you guys like a bunch of flat earthers seeing their first globe. As I said, Roger DeCoster and I were talking about the day and he mentioned that Eli has been battling Covid recently, which pretty much fits his results arc. He didn’t say that was the reason, but anyone with a brain knows having the flu does not help. Also, anyone with a brain knows that I would not...

Plenty of people acting like Deegan is going to go out there and be the next GOAT as well, meanwhile that’s not a given. Duality of man I suppose. So many smooth-brained takes that it almost induces second-hand embarrassment. I don’t know why people just can’t be excited for a great summer in the 450 class. Instead people want to take sides like some Chevy vs Ford debate.

Can we see him on the 450 first please? I have very high expectations for Deegan, no doubt. His fitness and work ethic/mindset and talent will absolutely carry him to good results over the next years. But the last time we have seen him on the 450 he battled with Craig and Breece. (he had one good main though). While it was SX and while he will obviously better in MX there were also multiple comments like "He'll dominate WSX and on the 450, the field isn't ready for him" Why does everyone expect him to immediately be super comfortable...

Another thread circling the drain.

Back on topic... Covid and the silence around it checks out. Denies being injured Results and riding speak for themselves across the past month Likely combined with comfort/set up issues of late - hard pack issues reared their head from earlier in the year, gnarly St Louis track Probably was feeling better at Nashville before a bad set up choice for the main on one of the worst tracks of the year. Lingering brain fog? I'm not 100% sure of the culture surrounding COVID over there, but I would assume its not something that you publicly advertise at risk of...

How some people talk on this forum about one of the biggest legends in our sport and his family.. truly baffles me

I met Jessica at A1, and I didn’t see a nose ring.

Believe me, I thought about it long and hard before posting it. We were just talking, leaning against the trailer. He was understandably frustrated because what looked to be a good night had ended badly. He said that Eli had caught Covid for the second time and that wasn’t helping the situation. We talked about the USGP at Carlsbad and other stuff. It was just talking, not an interview. He knows I’ve written lots of stuff over the years, mostly for Cycle News. He didn’t say it was off the record, or not to mention it. I never gave it...

They are. Not all tariffs were deemed illegal, and he has imposed more under different laws. Only the ones implemented under the emergencies act were deemed illegal. This is going to be a mess to unwind within your country, that is for certain.
