Anybody see the video posted today of Malcolm riding the Kawi at the Stewart compound ?

But.. Did he look comfortable?
I might be wrong but I believe any pro looks comfortable on a track that he trains on multiple times during the week
Top 15 supercross riders on their home tracks? Who?
I'm just saying it's stupid to say Malcom is looking fast or comfortable from that video. He could lay on the couch for half a year and look like this the first day back on the bike

Kenny Watson said, on PulpMX, that Malcolm felt like he didn't get a fill in spot last year because he was operating out of a semi and that they felt that Deano got the fill in ride because he was operating out of a box van. So he is going to run a box van with a kawi.
For whatever reason, I think Kenny heard or was told wrong.
I think part of that is true, yes he will operate out of a box van. Yes it he will be on a kawi. But, last year he was in the running for a fill-in ride..but turned it down because he didn't want to abandon the Rider 365/Seven effort. There was a bit of money and work involved in getting that deal done...so they felt it was wrong to just cut ties.
So, my guess is this...less expense and commitment with the box van + kawi. If something pops up they can send the box van and bike home...jump onto the new bike. I think it is a solid strategy. Good chance he ends up filling in for someone at some point in this season.
Also, side note: James will not be racing for anyone wondering. We won't see him until next year's ride day.
I think Malcolm can be a top 10 rider every week. Fix your fitness and stay on 2 wheels..he has the speed as we see in the heat races

Shit, if he's fit I bet top 5-7 would be normal. Dude is crazy fast!

Def not facts, my assumptions...typically in the moto industry my assumptions are always wrong..I assume that is because people don't think riders, teams, and people involved think that far into things.

I want to see Mookie put in an honest effort for once. I want to see him show up at A1 looking like he's hungry. Last year he showed up at A1 looking like John Belushi and then faded after 10 laps. I think he has the talent. I don't think he has the motivation. I also want to see what he can do outdoors.
Dude needs Jeff Emig to give him a pep talk and some motivation. Or at least go get some PEDS like everyone else.

It's called sarcasm, maybe you've heard of it. Your post was nothing more than speculative ramblings and your opinions in an attempt to discredit what someone else might know. Someone who clearly has more "industry" knowledge than you. It's just bizarre.
I would love to get some insight on Malcolm's choice of a Kawasaki. I wish someone in the organization would share a little info with the fans.

Maybe it was most neutral bikes to ride while waiting fill in spots? Its pretty solid bike and no one is riding it SX other than Tomac/Grant so he could get some support untill something opens.

So far I noticed they're not really into the whole "sharing info with the fans" thing.
Unless you meant Kawasaki. They would probably tell us that Malcom chose the green bike because it's the best bike in the world.
