When Tomac switched to Yamaha, and they were out testing they said they had never seen anyone who held the throttle wide open more than he does. "BETWEEN THE MOTOS JOHN TOMAC March 17, 2022 2:00pm There’s a human element involved in all of this. "Well, the other thing too, Eli has a very unique style. Nobody is going to be harder on the throttle than him. Nobody is going to be harder on the brakes than Eli. So, from a perspective of a tuner, when Eli comes on board, they’ve never seen what he does from any other rider. We had the Japanese engineer out here one time and they had a throttle sensor on there. He’s like, “Okay, let’s go do some moto laps.” The guy comes back to the shop, downloads the data, and he’s like, “Oh, my god.” I’m like, “What’s up?” He’s like, “90 percent wide open the whole lap! Never seen this before!”"

[@kubamares19]

It was in Kawi times

[@SouthernUtahMx]

Kurt Caselli was the same way. Mark at OC KTM got to test with Kurt and they had to use a different material for the jets in his carb because he was literally melting them and sucking them into the motor. Absolutely unreal. Kurt preferred a carbed motor and KTM in Austria was building him a factory carbed motor that was in his WORCS, NHH, and Baja bike with a wide ratio 6 speed. Literally no better sounding bike on the planet than Kurt Caselli’s factory KTM.

[@bowmaster66]

Melting the jets ?? That’s a new one 🙄

Barcia is an amazing rider and he's great for the sport. His aggressive style is so fun to watch. In SX Rd 2 this year Kenny was legit terrified to pass him or even attempt to pass him. I couldn't disagree more with guys like Jason Thomas who constantly rag on Barcia's riding.

Barcia didn’t ruin anything he had a way of doing things, and the whole world knew everything about him. no these years go by and sometimes doing the same old tricks, he’s not ruining peoples careers he’s not injuring people he’s just trying to do what everybody else is and that’s trying to get up as high as he can get in the pack. Everybody knows you gotta have balls to even ride a dirtbike and you gotta have balls of steel to race them, I’ve done both, so I got both pairs L O L. Keep it real Barsia and if you change who you are, you might regret it or you might not.

Even in the 250 and 450 top level there are always guys in the back that probably shouldn't be there. Haiden Deegan won't be those guys who are always finishing at the back. That's why he needs to go now and get racing experience.

[@jro341]

I was one of those guys back in the late 90’s. It was all that I wanted but with working 60+ hours a week and going through an apprenticeship I didn’t have what it took. It was still cool to have a pro license and ride with guy’s like Ricky Carmichael and Travis Pastrana. It is a ton easier in the seats watching. Just saying.
