And herlings is still better than everyone when healthy despite having to rebuild himself 15 times

No, but i am Dutch. And thats not our flag above the podium😂

I raced for factory Kawasaki in Europe. On the first day I got to ride the factory 500 the first thing I and my mechanic went to do was adjust the rear sag. However, we were told by the senior team mechanic not to touch it as the “sag has already been set”. He went on to explain that it had been ‘set’ when the shock was built on the basis of winding in ‘X’ mm of spring preload.

From my race recap post yesterday. Chase is in one of the worst runs of form in his 450 SX career

factory Kawi has a lot of similarities to factory Yamaha before Star took it over. There’s a welded on culture that needs a reinvention

This is the biggest indicator to me...... if it was just chase then it's pretty easy to dismiss the bike.... but if you're going to argue that the improvement prado showed this year is also all mental and a total coincidence? Sorry, not buying that one. Add in Marchbanks struggling and Anderson being at least as good if not better than last year.... just too much evidence piling up that the bike is an issue. I put no stock in test riding a bike. Don't think it means anything. Not sure there's any correlation between how it feel putting in...

7 races. What is your role at team Kawasaki? Welcome to Vital! 😅

Turns out Prado wasn't wrong

Savatgy crashed and was only 6 seconds behind Sexton at the end. You could say Savatgy should have Sexton's ride, but I don't think Savatgy wants it now. Savatgy would be like "yeah man, you just stay right where you are, keep that @#$ bike away from me"

I'll say it again. Jorge, I'm sorry.

My takeaway from the interview is that Bruce is absolutely a company man. Foreign SMX round? Pay us. MXoN? Pay us. No matter what you asked him the answers were given in spreadsheet terms. It is what it is but not a lot of passion for the sport came across in that interview.

Clearly you're on your own on this stance and I was going to drop it here. However, I'll pose one more question to you; Why don't they support MXoN? Does this in itself highlight the "they work in these parameters and aren't will to deviate from that" rhetoric? Kawi to their riders: We're willing to support you with Supercross and Nationals... "What about Mxon?" No. Kawi to their riders: We're willing to give you this bike set up... "What about trying this?" No. Most of us have worked at a firm where the culture just isn’t right. They lose top...

It’s the Kawi to KTM and KTM to Kawi component. A comparison to Tomac is certainly valid too. But for different reasons. Chase went to a team with almost no recent success. Tomac went to a team with lots of very recent success. That has to be taken in to consideration. It’s certainly fair to say that Kawi needs to get it together and find the feel (in my opinion, that’s front grip) that Chase is looking for.
