To be fair, moto has a tremendously bad “journalist” history. Everyone is friends due to the size of the industry. When RCH was acquiring factory Suzuki support, i mentioned it in a thread and was immediately called out and told I was wrong. Funny thing was the info was heard first hand by Kenny Watson.

I don’t doubt what Mxa posted. But i am certain they are going to be getting hit hard for it

Well he is an expert on the subject.......!!!!!

Matt, I was just telling some folks yesterday about the night that LeMond drank 10 or 12 bottles of wine and could only manage a couple of miles the next day. We were up in Chelan driving by the winery that the dinner was at.

Hope things are going well with you.

I don't know, but someone who raced with Lance Armstrong will know about all kinds of sketchy stuff.

I saw one at State Fair MX two days ago, so I am guessing they are available????

I'd be willing to bet that was likely Fencepost's Factory Edition Gas-Gas clone.

Interesting that the deal got upped – Wasn't there chatter that they didn't push for Dylan?

Dylan's recent results comparatively have probably been better, and Barcia's perhaps slightly worse.

I do think it's a better decision for Barcia to move – he knows what the Yamaha will be – great sometimes, awful others. He' no spring chicken anymore, if he wants to contend, he needs to do it now.

Yeah he said 'some things are not true'... which means some are...

And then he clarified that he has nothing but good things to say about Yamaha/Star. So deny the 'sketchy stuff' and yes i'm moving on.

So if your Barcia, do you swap bike and keep the same great trainer, or do you go to Aldon and hope that works out, decisions, decisions.

This is if Aldon is available?

Didn’t Aldon say he usually got buy in from all his current riders before taking on someone new?

Good for KTM. Leveling the racing field by putting every rider on the same bike. Now we just need Tomac as the second rider, get him on a bike that can last two 30 minute motos.


(that should stir the pot sufficiently until race day lol)

MXA— Siri, how do we edit a post and make it “disappear”

SIRI — just click the edit tab before anyone sees it. Also, you might want to make sure no one on vital posted a screenshot of the original post.

MXA —. Thanks Siri. That was easier then we thought.

MXA — Siri what is Vital?

It'll be interesting to see if Barcia has to dump his A-Stars & Shoei gear deals for the TLD deal. Seems like most other teams at least their 450 guys have their own gear contracts...but TLD has always had their guys dress alike, like PC. I think somebody here speculated that the A-Star deal Barcia has might be over $750K.

Next thing you'll be telling us he will be riding a Gas Gas. Who is this guy anyway??

Resigned? Or re-signed? There's a big difference there.

When I talked to Justin on Friday, he said he hadn't signed anything for '21.
