You guys are crazy. In the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim area, the median household income for first-time homebuyers is $167,000. So if you had this job and married to somebody who is working full-time, you are likely above median. https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/much-buy-starter-home…

I have a college education and 115-120 sounds pretty good to me. Getting paid that to supervise seems like a great job

i disagree, the 450 move was long overdue, and gives him the opportunity to ride with a bit more finesse, instead of the balls out style you have to have on a 250. It should have been good for him, but 'fast between crashes' isnt something that you can keep doing. Having the 'belief that you can still win', and being able to do it, are not the same.

Rumor a page or so ago was Fahe out at Kawi and Coker taking his place. Wonder if these changes at Triumph changed that?

Swap Moto said Anstie, Thrasher, Swoll, Temmerman, and Romano all looking for a spot on the PC Kawi Team. Romano is almost signed. Mitch wants to have 5 bikes if it's the right guys. Thrasher might end up at Triumph if the PC Kawi doesn't materialize. Plessinger changing to Heat Wave Visual goggles. Beta might do a 250 team. They've talked to Jalek Swoll. Gage Linville might not race the rest of the summer for Triumph. Guillem Farres back to the US is a possibility. TLD Ducati to run a 250 team in 2028.

Plessinger would be a boost for Triumph

He'd be a huge boost! Triumph could use the fanbase exposure that Aaron would bring, as well as the top-5 potential as well. Hope the rumors that he's already signed for 2027 is accurate.

Sounds like that family is putting him up for adoption

Farres looked damn good in SX. Incredible to me that they didn't give him more than one year.

Sold on the pet insurance bros.

I like that the pay "range" is $115k to $120k. What is the difference between the person they hire that they would pay $115k and the person they would pay $120k?

Pet insurance?!? Damn!

Imo Watson who would have benefited doing what Horgmo is doing now or what Calvin Vlaanderen did for years: Ride for a supported team in stead of a factory team, where they are happy with you going 11, 15, 10, 12, 13 for races and have a massive party twice a year when you finish 4th or 6th. Now he is 29 so i think his current setup is good for him: focus on uk and do a bunch of gp's if you feel good.

Then tell us what you know? Ben was and still is a solid 8-12 place guy on his day and that's good going in MXGP. I like Ben and wish him the best whatever he rides. In 2021 on the Yam he finished 11th in the standings, scoring 300 points over 18 rounds. In 2022 on the Kawi he finished 12th, scoring 275 points over 18 rounds. 25 points less over the season, less than a point per moto. So blaming the bike doesn't carry much weight here. Saying a second season on the Yamaha would have been epic, well...

Sounds like Vlaanderen may represent South Africa this year. Vlaanderen McLellen Durow/Purdon

France will be tough to beat at home too - they can choose from Febvre, Reneaux, Vialle and Valin. Also the Netherlands could be strong with Herlings, de Wolf and Karssemakers, with Vlanderran as a backup.
