Do you think the big orange conglomerate has any backup plans tomorrow night to seal the championship? Coop needs a 19th or better for the title. Would they go as far as having Savatgy, Anderson, Moosecan, Wilson, and Barcia qualify, then have three of them pull off as soon as the gate drops?

Think they could pull a fast one as follows. Have any combination of the aforementioned riders run illegal fuel. If for some reason Coop does not get the 19th place have Gas Gas or Husky protest and have 3 of their riders DQ'd...Could they even protest one another?

Think they have a backup plan? I bet there was a meeting at the orange rig this week discussing all the different scenarios.

No disrespect, but that is one of the dumbest things I've read on here in quite awhile...

Pretty small chance it is needed. I don’t think Webb would want to win going that route either.

I called the “bunch em up” strategy stupid and then tomac did it. So I guess anything could happen.

Honda really only has Sexton that could try to take Webb out so as long as Webb stays away from him he should be good.

No, Webb laps 19th most weeks, he will not have any trouble unless he is taken out by himself or someone else.

Webb can sleepwalk through the main, all the pressure is on KR to win if he wants a Hail Mary of a shot at the title.

A plan involving this many riders (and crews, by proxy) would be hard to keep under wraps, and would kill any legitimacy the SX championship has if it came to light. Which would end up hurting the entire industry, KTM group included. I dont think Webb is going to have that much trouble securing the title on his own.

If there are any whoops at all, Webb will double or roll his way through them and finish the race. I just saved you all your Saturday night, you’re welcome.

Yeah, it goes exactly like this...

Be respectful.

You saw how Marv raced him last week, right? And Anderson and Barcia passing him in Atlanta?

No.
KTM, Roger, Harrison & Webb have more self respect and walk with their heads held high. You won't see that kind of behaviour from any of them.

Furthermore, Webb will take the championship with a big enough margin that those points Roczen lost earlier in the season will be irrelevant. Thats the way to do it. Roczen will have no excuses, nothing to say "if only" about.

Bob, I like reading most of your posts, you seem to be a good knowledgable dude. At least as far as anyone could make out across a message board.

While I appreciate the thought behind this, I reckon you may be overthinking this one haha, I'm sure they've put at least a little thought into some vague team order scenarios but anything that extreme would surely be a bridge too far and hurt the brand(s) and individuals more than it would help, even if the reward would be a championship.

He will ride his own race and whilst a win would be the cherry he'll take whatever he is good for.

I'm not really a Webb fan but the dude has earned it and big respect to him, his mechanic, Ian, RD and all the boys n girls in the factory.

Lookimg forward to this last one and then moving on to the Outdoors.

More importantly, do you think fox printed a #1 jersey for Kenny if he some how miraculously pulls it off? If so, does it go to some kid in Haiti if he doesn’t win?

Damn, dude. You were only a couple drinks away from thinking KTM might be plotting to either kidnap or poison Roczen, just to ensure a title. lol. As silly as your post was, I appreciate your passion for the sport.

For sure yes. If there is a mathematical chance at a Championship they'll have jerseys printed.

Ps. The Crux of the matter is how they dispose of them jerseys if they don't win it.
