No. I’m enjoying retirement in Aix en Provence, France. I posted that because it seems like Eli finally tried some stiffer forks. Looks like he’s struggling a bit in the turns but the front end is finally holding up better. It was just an observation after being critical of his front end for years. And which was a disaster in Australia and I talked about it on my show. That’s all.

But the corners shown were terrible. Got the impression he wasn’t trying to push the corners, I hope that is the case vice just feeling the bike wont turn.

You are way to young to retire DV. Way to young.....

Two things you have that you can sell…your straight up personality, and your “been there” knowledge. Cmon’ DV, get hired in somebody’s camp and help them get better !

Let the man chill. We all love DV, but that many years of grinding should lead to some more low key years.

DV occasionally chiming in with his insights is certainly welcome!

Retirement is never about age. It’s about motivation and money.

No way the paddle tire on that track wasn’t the actual problem!

I wouldn’t mind seeing DV work a SX season with Tomac and seeing what those two could do. Still don’t understand Ferrandis move with not working with DV, they were beasts together and made no excuses and no bs.

Life is easier when no one is holding you accountable

Looks beautiful there, enjoy!  However, we'll miss you here in the States 😞  At least call in to Pulp monthly and give us an update.

DV doesn’t strike me as a just checking in guy.
