How many times has a pc rider been up front and lost the front? Savatgy, ac, party marty all have done it countless times. Damn they need some front end bite! (Or maybe head shrinks who knows)

I agree, change would be good for them. But monster pays the big bucks so I don't see it happening.

For Mitch Payton to keep hiring Marty D is beyond me. The team just seems to have a black cloud following them lately.

They wouldn’t be after their engine had Mitch’s touch......

They should put the Yamaha 250F engine in the PC bike. The Star bikes are really looking good

Star bikes are easily the best bike in the 250 class it’s been that way for a couple years

i'm not one to say someone's bike looks like it's working well or isn't BUT that whole first lap the front looked sooo stiff and sketched out. you could see it coming a mile away.

I was watching the race and honestly thought to myself "how long does he keep this holeshot before throwing it away". Then I had a brief thought "stop thinking like a hater", then a few seconds later he fell.

Don't think it'd be in PCs best interest to run an Alta, lol

I was actually thinking about that yesterday, what will happen to the performance shops if and when electric bikes take over. Obviously pro circuit still has the suspension and parts business but there will be quite a few companies who I would think become obsolete.

I realise this won't happen for a few years yet but just something I thought about while cleaning air filters

Once the 2020 kx250s come out it will be better.

He has by far the biggest budget of all the 250 satellite teams, he's not going anywhere.

After watching the bikes on the hills of Spring Creek.. Mitch knows those Yamaha 250F's have the most power in the class.

Seems like the TLD KTMs are down on power. They were having the most trouble of all the front runners clearing laroccos leap and the uphill triple this week.
