Even Pit and Roger called George a quitter. Then they put him back on the tit.

I cracked up when he said "huevos" at the end! Also, his idea of taking it slower would be traveling less so he can spend more time in the shop working on the bike! 

Back in the day, I saw Roger watching practice in the astrodome all alone in a section when he was managing Suzuki. My brother and I sat three rows behind him and watched, too much respect to bother him but slightly creepy.. haha

I love that tech stuff. Great insights.

Swap on Eli - "How much power does he want?"

Roger - "More than anybody."

hahahhahahhahahha

Think for a minute about what he said. Eli wants more power for supercross than the other KTM riders ask for in MXGP, including deep sand. WTF? "Beast Mode" has never seemed more appropriate. Yeah, others are smoother and more efficient Eli is the Chuck Norris of moto.

He's always a great listen-read.   Also like that RD5 wants to be more involved again.

Good listen. Rog said Eli and John are true professionals. Bet that’s a nice change from Chase and his nut job dad.

But it sounds like Roger is more happy with the team this year. "We could never get things to be smooth with the riders from last year", "Everybody was working so hard and still our guys were complaining" and worrying every monday about "who was gonna come over and say they wanted to quit or something..."

I like the depth of knowledge that DeCoster brings to the sport.  A true gentleman's gentleman.  MX's grandfather.
