I think KTM bringing over 250 talent to the US and winning is just like the Lawrence's said. In Europe young riders race a lot and not just ride at a training compounds, so they're better at racing. At some point a team in the USA will figure this out but it will most likely be in 10 years or so. So good on KTM but maybe they might have there young talent here in the US start racing as well.

Europe gets different soil and rain or snow and they don’t park the bikes for the winter like some do here or move to southern or western facilities.  Most “racers” in America have typically come out of Florida or Cali so that is true but we are seeing more opportunities.  People also comment how the amateur scene here is spread out or less laps.

Webb just wasn’t on it this weekend the way he attacked the track last week.  And then to get taken out right before the checkers was a lot to deal with and it must have hit him being interviewed off the podium too.

Very obvious Jett would have been banged up related to the Barcia incident in my mind too where he should have said something about it but he was was lucky to bounce back after KTM/Gas Gas gassing into him.

They caught Zimm looking kind of serious in the photo and to be with a #1 plate isn’t easy and a lot of pressure.  Not surprised if an incident or 2 could cause a job change for an exclusive career and new team.  Even if it was just 1 screw up that might not be acceptable at this level esp if it makes a rider crash and something made him hurt his hand earlier in the year.  KTM team guys look more relaxed and may have a different approach.

Jason says how hard he works during the week and the broadcast talked about bonus checks up for grabs.  They didn’t make it sound like a big takeout move but to do it on Webb made for it look like not such a proud of podium to pass him at the last moment imo with Webb somewhat in the hunt and maybe took points away if he is still going for a championship.

Eli had some injured rounds but if he has the speed to still be on the podium with not too many oh shit moments where he can still be a family guy I hope he keeps racing and could still put up a title run next year to avenge the achilles.  Jett is on top now but if not next year Eli could still be the guy if he uses Ryno Power supplements and sets up some DeCal works graphics.

Tell Beta they beta set up a 250 and I bet Nichols could be a championship guy again.  Bogle starts and beard too.

I think JCoop stays and they have been investing in him where they could have let him go.  Husky doesn’t have the championship 450 ready machine this year and after him training with Eli or Coop and they already have some top qualifying.  Husky is big for RJ first.  They liked Mookie to maybe hold onto too after his $500k investments and he told DS he’s still got it.

Yamaha would and did have to put up a big contract for Deegan  for a relationship.  Deegan’s HD insignia was a tip of the hat to the Notre Dame emblem.

Vialle must have a nice KTM mechanic duo.  Deegan nicened up a little with his riding and podium speech but he still could go for the Barcia takout.  They made it pretty simple it was a racing incident with Swoll but he may have had extra to say about his effort versus not trying to take out the home town guy fans with him making an error.  Maybe he thought Seth would let off or stay wide but that’s hard to do in the sand.

If you wanna give it up to Linville he and Bennick fought in amateurs. I don’t know what happened to Cochran either since since he was putting up podiums on Futures with Bennick who I thought he is podium threats from his 1st pro race.  Wondering what ML sees special in his pick with potential JuJu.  He came in hot but got caught up in traffic like I thought might happen with a champ/pressure but outdoors might give him more room to roost.

I figured Nichols had to move up but I thought it was worth a try to get a 250.  He had to miss a 2nd title with the shoulder injuries.

Similar to his history of water titles JuJu has a lot of talent where I thought you made a comment to keep an eye out for him and I was wondering if there is a certain part of his riding that makes him champ material at mx/sx from your tech perspective.

They stole our favourite coffee, dessert and horse. We tried to trade Russel Crow but the Aussies said no, you can keep him. 

I'd forgive all previous claims if we can say Jett is 50% Kiwi. .
