He was a few seconds off the leaders the entire race, plus he rides a gear high like jett. The bike should have held. KTM USA has unfortunately had some reliability probs this year.

Prado had a mechanical dnf and lucas comes over and his bike blows and has a dnf… could this affect them wanting to come over? KTMs not looking too reliable lately. Theyre definitely going to have to consider if the Ktm here is up to snuff. Prado was out of the championship right off the bat due to no fault of his own.

Lucas looked like he rang his bell. Hope both are ok.

Or Eli on a broken leg…

It was Lucas bike which failed on him, nothing he could do. If anyone thought Sacha wasnt sending it dont know him. I think his boss knows him..

Nah, they were there to "learn, have fun and not take any risks". I don't think Sacha has a clue what "not taking any risks" actually means. 😄

Odds of them doing that third race they planned on doing? Lucas seemed to be okay but Sacha definitely hurt something in his crash. I think today is going to be a hefty reminder for all the GP teams on allowing their guys to come race over here during their series, unfortunately. EDIT: how is this a controversial take?

Rick Ware Racing picked up a lot of the tab on this one.

Can you imagine Chase having to kickstart a bike after he fell down? He would probably quit racing.

Probably insurance and they’ll just run a three-man team if Chase does come back.

Where would he go? I don’t think he’d be a good fit at STAR with how he’s been at his last 3 teams, Chase doesn’t seem much like a team player and at STAR you gotta do whatever they want you to do.

I don’t think Chase leaves, I think if Kawi makes a play for Jo, the team is Chase & Jo and the new Kawi leadership does everything they can to make champions again.

Is there any chance Beta has thought about moving Oldenburg down to the 250? He hasn’t finished in the top 15 in any series and according to racer x he weighs 150lbs so he wouldn’t be to big for the bike.if they can develop a good bike I could see him having a season like Kyle Chisham when he filled in at star.

Three of our top four 450 guys are hurt right now, That’s a big skew in the stats.

8 right up there in the numbers with the longest droughts.

Hell no! MXdN is the best race of the year, and the promoters should respect that with regards scheduling. There's also nothing wrong with sending a team that has no chance of winning. Most of the countries attending do that year after year.

Two seasons ago, Austin had an injury, but came back to race outdoors a posted some good results, by showing progression through the season. When he got hurt I posted words of encouragement and expressed my being a big fan, on his Instagram and his wife Rylee actually answered my post from her Instagram. The same thing happened last season. What this told me was they were still in it together. Still in the fight to heal up, and get back to racing. This season, after he got hurt, I posted similar words on his instagram. This season, No response...

I remember watching Austin charging through the field with a torn ACL because he had no quit in him. The guy has been through the wringer, never once did he give up. If we don’t see him on a dirt bike again, I hope he hangs his head high knowing he gave it everything he had. He deserves to enjoy his life with his family, hopefully one day he can find peace with the way things all worked out and not spend his life wondering what could have been.

I honestly think that was a better move for him rather than staying on a 250. Especially for outdoors. I think he’d be consistently getting top 10’s outdoors if he was in the 450 class right now.
