soyMotero Added a reply to Tomac MXGP?
3/21/2024 7:13am I don't think Tomac wants to race MXGP, but I wouldn't rule him out of racing an MXGP, kinda like Cairoli did in ProMotocross in '22 or Chad Reed In 2016, when he raced the British and Italian GPs. Full time racing MXGP would require him to move to Europe or fly to the other side of the pond every...

soyMotero Added a reply to Toby Price and KTM no more
3/20/2024 1:11pm Me too, but if we are talking about the pinaccle of motorcycling racing and engineering, I would rather ride the Aprilia RS-GP or the Ducati GP24, those thing they not only look like rockets, they are rockets.
soyMotero Added a reply to Toby Price and KTM no more
3/19/2024 2:08pm Those KTM and GasGas RC16 are getting expensive, KTM wants to win in MotoGP, that's their goal, and it's going to take them some serious Cash and resources, that means cutting budget in other areas (motocross and supercross included), they are as close as they have ever been to win a MotoGP title, and they want to seal the deal...
soyMotero Added a reply to The last 10 years champion after 10 rounds
3/19/2024 6:46am I think you forgot the scariest stat of all, Jett has won 5/10 races he entered with an average 2/3 second gap of 2nd place, makes you wonder if he could go faster than his current speed, this type of race craft is something riders learn in their mid 20s, not in they early 20s like Jett, if these are...

soyMotero Added a reply to 73 race wins is done!!!
3/17/2024 7:12am That's the result of growing up in training facilities, racing a few times a year, having multiple classes (A,B and C), racing full blown factory superminis, thinking a whole amateur season is just a race in August in Tennesse, and racing short races until you turn pro, you have created a generation of very good riders but not very good...

soyMotero Added a reply to Is Dylan Ferrandis over his Honda ride ?
3/16/2024 4:51am I just want him to see healthy outdoors, he's the only one who can give Jett a run for his money in Motocross, he still loves the Honda indoors and knowing he excells in MX... Who knows? Honda 1-2 a few times this summer?
soyMotero Added a reply to Prado’s 3 Year Kawi Deal
3/13/2024 12:16am Good choice, he's going to race for one of the most succesful AMA Teams, with a good salary and a lengthy contract, plus his ability to have his own gear deals and be one of Monster Energy most important riders, and it seems the aluminum frame works better in SX than KTM Steel frame, Kawasaki has probably offered more freedom...
soyMotero Added a reply to Would you like to see Jett Lawrence eventually racing MXGP's
3/12/2024 3:04pm Would love to see it but it won't happen, there's no way he races MXGP in his prime, he not going to leave the AMA dollars on the table, maybe and if MXGP returns to the USA to have a race there after the SMX season, there's a remote but still posible chance that Jett races it. MXGP's are on...

3/11/2024 5:56am Sad we never had a MXdN there, it was a perfect track and place to host such an event, I hope it sucesor can be as good as Neuquen

3/3/2024 10:44pm I wish this sport had bigger controversies like F1 or MotoGP, to see how these "Industry members" would react, ML did his job, which as a journalist is reporting, and now KTM is mad because they were caught making Chase bike faster? Imagine a RedBull F1 Team Crew shouting a F1 Journalist making a photo of the car, yeah, me...

This whole sport is absolutely bush league when it comes to information. Sometimes I think they think they are actually curing cancer or something with how they guard information. The only one that truly understands the game is Lars, that guy is awesome.

Bash on me but i think that Modern day racing cosidering training, regimes, and perfection over the years is way more difficult than the golden Mcgrath years, Carmichael started all of this professionalism and actually Kicked Mc´s ass. You would see Mc and the guys partying, having fun, drinking and being awesome all the time, with Ricky that kinda ended, he was a lot more focused and strict and it did pay, dude was unbeatable because he trained and put all his time and effort to be the best. Nowadays everyone does it so to me, it is a lot...

soyMotero Added a reply to When will safety come back into style
2/25/2024 6:04am Protective gear like braces or chest protectors are restrictive, the more restriction you have the slower you become, riders are choosing performance over safety, as long as the AMA don't enforce protective gear, riders won't wear it. Safety rule changes won't happen in motorsport until a misfortune happens, like we have seen in MotoGP, F1...

soyMotero Started a new thread Tim Gajser Instagram Post about racing AMA
2/20/2024 10:57am He just posted this on his Instagram story, I wonder how the MX World would have looked if this this had happened, I guess we will never know... I am kinda confused with the "maybe yes, maybe no", it is a dig about how AMA Racing is growing but the GPS are not?

This is my gut feeling about these kind of topics. We are so far off in the world of MX in every regard, especially in actually trusting real physics and engineering. The sport is filled with "pseudotesting" where public professional riders (that are also involved in OEM development) have some really strange thoughts on different stuff. Things like the "free-feeling" rear axle on the Austrian bikes, the triple clamp shims between the pinch bolts are two things that instantly comes to my mind (and i assume there is more). Snake oil level stuff. This is one of the most interesting...
