Marvin is obviously on fire and making it look so easy, but I'm just as impressed as a person. He is definitely proof positive that nice guys can finish first. His humble and down to earth is so refreshing to me. I have no problem with guys that exhibit confidence. You definitely need it to excel, but when it spills over to arrogance, I tune it out personally. Marvin is just a class guy IMO. Also like to throw out the same for Bogle. Another class individual.

Totally dominating the East without even breaking a sweat and just so happy go lucky about it. Possibly the nicest guy ever.

Marv is a true master at his skill. Very in tune and looks to be almost one with his bike. Super impressed. He's always been great....but this season , he just looks completely polished on that KTM. In the E vs W shootout in Vegas , I don't see anyone beating him. Maybe Webb will give him a run?

Sure hope he takes this confidence outdoors....because the two Yamaha boys will be on it this year. But indoors , I don't see anyone on Marv's level right now.

Marvin Musquin is, at this moment, the best 250f SX rider in the world. He makes it look like a walk in the park, and I read earlier that DeCoster & KTM are working to keep him at KTM with a 450 ride in 2016. Team KTM with Dungey (you KNOW he's staying)
And Musquin will be a monster!

What about Deano?

Marvin Musquin's deal is up this year.

Dean Wilson has a two year deal, so he will be at Red Bull KTM next year.

Marvin has always been super fast (I think we all know that) but since coming stateside he has been plagued by injuries, usually right at the start of the series SX and MX. he has been injury free for almost a full year now the last one being a dislocated shoulder at GH last year in practice. If not for all the setbacks we could have seen this Marvin years ago.

I like Pourcel and wish he was racing 450's but he doesn't do heel clickers.

DOMINATING!!!! Red Bull KTM will resign him to race 450F MX & SX. Or maybe Honda or Kawasaki will make a run at him. I am betting KTM

Yes!!! Although Tortelli and DV are a close second. JMB was misunderstood and Pourcel is still misunderstood. Pichon....... well

Marvin is crushing it, but I think the fastest 250 SX rider is out west.

AC can't keep it off the ground for more than 3 races. He's fast yes, but to compare him to Musquin right now is not even in the cards.

Starvin Marvin is built like a daddy long legs, and is so smooth his suspension doesn't even compress.

Im a true fan of Marvin... And Matilda. The video that was on i think RacerX showing them pull into milestone in their F150 with Matilda driving.... 2 French kids living the dream!!! They are so humble and down to earth... I just really like the way he rides and carries himself... Why cant i blast a berm feet up like he does!!!!

If Marvin is so good, why didn't he race west coast?

AC? You avatar says it all. No way AC is even in the same zipcode as Marvin at this point, it's not even close.

Probably because Roger said he was racing east coast. Case closed.

Fair enough! Be interesting to think what went into that decision. I know both riders most likely are more comfortable living and riding on the coasts they are on. But one might think, Moose would probably be competing for the title in the west coast, and Hill would maybe could have had more success in the East. 450 title, 250E and West title would sure look good for Roger and orange.
