I understand KR94's decision to move to Honda for the $$$ and to be the guy, but in hindsight it appears it was a fateful career move. I bled red for years and still want to admire Honda, but I do believe the bike is somewhat flawed on a micro level. Whether it's outdoors or indoors the Honders appear to be more active and less stable than the Kawi's, KTM's or Husky's and at their level every aspect of geometry and suspension is worth places.
While he's a whiny little bitch and a terrible ambassador for the sport, there's no doubt Webb is an exceptional rider and he's now a contender that he's riding orange. Put Roczen on orange even after his injuries and he would be the fastest dude in Supercross, and I'd say the same for Tomac.
To add to the flame session forthcoming, most of the self inflicted gnarly crashes over the past 5 years have been on the red machines (Tomac - Thunder Valley / Roczen - Monster Energy Vegas / Roczen - A2 / Seeley - Glen Helen / Canard - Too many to count). Is this coincidence or has another brand had more?
The Shop
I always wondered if he ever got to test it before he left?
Puls it was nt like Kenny was killing it on the ktm in sx the year before, he won 2 races , people act like he dom
Eli and his double shoulder surgery was a major recovery. He just did not make it known to the general public.
Pourcel laid flat on his back for 6 months not know if he would ever walk again. He made a very impressive comeback.
Cole Seeley has had a massive hip injury, but no one talks about that.
Look at Moosecans first ride in the USA outdoors. His wrist was toast.
Barcia also broke his hip, and has had massive injuries in the last few years.
Deano has had 3? ACL surgeries in the last few years? Not including other injuries.
Bogle? Reed? Baggett? Anderson? Webb? Joey?
All of these guys get hurt, bad.
Another than that Kenny is riding fantastic, it's not the bike.
Webb has been elite since 250's.
If he didn’t have the best medicine money could buy that was a legit possibility.
Of course he’s a tick off of what he was.
Pit Row
With that said, i have always believed that he made a mistake when he jumped off the KTM when he did. It wasn't the greatest bike when he won the 450 title in 2014 but he should've known where KTM were heading just like Dungey trusted DeCoster in 2012.
But at the same time, the Honda is not a hurdle for him. HRC is a good team to be at.
He dominated ONE race on the Honda. ONE twenty lap race.
That was when he should have been with Aldon is these years in his career starting with 16’. Hed be a couple sx championship wins in by now, have a couple more left in him, then either retire or say ok thats enough with Aldon then try it without him. Or he could just win 3/4 in a row then retire. Kenny/Coop are “those guys” to be the next to go on a streak after RV then RD. Then itd be Webbs turn after Kenny won his 4.
He probably should have went to Suzuki in the states first on 250s, then after winning 250s at Suzuki move up to 450s n get some race wins. Then move to KTM/Husky with Aldon and either build the Husky legacy with Aldon at that time or KTM. Then hed be ready to go on his “Aldon win streak”.
Either way its tricky though because when you watch that documentary with Kenny he makes it a point to say Aldon was only gonna give Ken 2 weeks off then go right into boot camp and Ken was like nooo way. Im gonna be burnt out in 2 years. But I feel he could have won for a few years on Suzuki in the 250s then moved up to 450s then got some race wins... then at that point move to Aldon and KTM or Husky and get his 4 “Aldon Guarintee” sx championships like RV and RD. Kenny was that guy to do it. Then hed be there about now with 4 and then Webb would be starting to get his race wins then he could have replaced a burnt out kenny after getting a couple years of race wins on Yamaha then hed go on his 3-4 champ run too after Ken.
Milsaps made some serious coin during his KTM gig.
At this point, This is about bashing KTM...
(Think I’ll be at Pala at about 10)
