Yet when Mike and Tony were on DMXS they both said the exact opposite of what The Man is now saying.

...on a different note, I sure am a fan of Josh Grant.

What I find interesting is that in Moto Verte (french magazine) Decoster says that Tony is completely crazy... a more down toned version here.

2) Factory Honda team manager.

3) Factory Suzuki team manager.

4) Team USA winning manager for 16 ? times.

5) Universally acknowledged as one of the best racers of all time and most influential people in mx.

Alessis
1) ?

2)...

3) Was that a cricket I just heard??

4) - - -

5) ah um

If I was in Mike's shoes, I would have kicked Tony out a long time ago. I think I remember Mike stating that what they were doing was working...Can you tell me how? He hasn't won one title yet. He hasn't won a single supercross race.

Atleast Jeff was smart to step away when he had the chance.

Is someone going to come on here and call Mr DeCoster a liar????

.........i thought not.

Man, if you lose a factory ride because of the people that are around you. Get rid of them.

Not to lisiten to Roger is stupid he has so much experiance 5 time world champion and mahanger or great riders.

If they don't respect Everts and do what he tells them when he rides rounds the outside of MIke at lommel in March they will be really stupid all over again.

Seems like some people on this board have been saying the same things as RD for a long time, only to get "schooled" by certain "know it all's"..... hmmm

OK, I'll say it....


Sounds like BobbyM was right.

I guess we will just have to wait and see how things work out.....

And I guess since RDC seems to know everything, then putting all the Suzuki resources to back up RD to win a championship was also a great move? As soon as I see all of you betting on RD to win the championship, I will really believe you really believe a factory rep like RDC is telling the straight up truth and not just his factory/employers version.

Just so we understand eachother. Roger didn't say Mike couldn't win, He said He wasn't going to put up with their attitude and bullshit.

Dungy already has a 250F SX championship and an Outdoor Championship and everyone likes dealing with the whole Family.

Get a fucking clue.

Does this effectively box Mike out of future MXdN Team USA consideration?

I doubt if he dominates the outdoors like he's expected to that will be the case.

And who all are these people that like "dealing with his whole family"? When have you seen RD's family with him at a track or at a practice facility? I could be wrong, but I think for the last several years he has been living by himself in an apartment away from his family. So how exactly is anyone working with them?

I agree RD has won some 250 championships, so have a lot of other riders like J-Law. So do you think RDC and Suzuki backed the right rider to win the next championship? Since they are so smart and all? You didn't answer that question.

How exactly is this news? The Alessi camp has always been this way with their team. They haven't the balls to go private - which I think they should do, instead they try to live off someone else's dime and do what they want. If Tony is all that, let them show it to the world.

I laughed when KTM picked them up, but some of the thinks KTM has done around the world also makes me chuckle.

So in summary they are perfect for each other. Both great talents, both like Motodrive arguments. Trying to be louder then the other.

Mike again will be the bridesmaid.

About the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Good chuckles there.

Who expects him to dominate over the field?

I'll stick to my prognostication as I have from the beginning, no AMA SX/MX Championships for MA.

Ah yes the time honored tradition of smearing someone else when all else fails.
Can't really dispute anything that DeCoster said because the guy is known for not BS'ing so instead you throw Dungey under the bus.
And yes I think Dungey is a good investment for future championships, much less aggravation for the buck it would seem and that looks like what Suzuki finds to be a better ROI.

And really we all know you are going to have Mikes back but wouldn't you consider Roger DeCoster to be a little more than just a "factory rep"?
That is kind of a childish tack to take.

Manager of Carmichael - Champ

Manager of Dungey - Champ.

Not a bad resume for a rep is it ?

so far Dungey has raced two seasons less. has hardly missed any 250 f races indoors or outdoors if any and has 2 more titles than Alessi. on the other hand Mike has only raced a full season for suzuki (1 out of 4) 2008 sx out with an injury 2008 mx out with injury 2009 sx full season only one podium 3rd. 2009 mx out with an injury.

so who do you hire the drama queen kid with the pain in the ass dad or a guy who is more professional who doesnt have as much baggage and has 2 championships and a mxdn to his credit.

all this from a jlaw fan.
