The losses at the MXoN has nothing to do with Roger. But for sure, he has an eye for talent. In my opinion, and from an outsiders perspective, the smartest person in the industry.

Not to be that guy but it's not like Webb was exactly a diamond in the rough. I mean he's been amazing for as long as I can remember besides the two years on the Yamaha 450. If you were a team manager and weren't interested in Webb I don't think you were doing your job correctly.

Well most years we are sending a B or even C team at best unfortunately for us this last year we sent out A team but with the extreme conditions and timing of the race our riders underperformed.
Mxon just isn’t a high enough priority for the USA when our out door ends and MEC is a week after mxon. No excuses just not the biggest jewel for our guys.

I agree with you. It’s a tough schedule and I can see why some wouldn’t want to do it, but it’s sure be nice to get U.S.A. back into the top spot.

He wanted Webb before he signed with Factory Yamaha. Listen to the Whiskey Throttle show,Decoster episode, They talk about it.

It wasn't very long ago that Webb destroyed the 250's and was on everyones radar as the next big time rider.
THERE IS NO SECOND MOTO IN LIFE!
