You have to be 60 to realize how great Roger was and he has possibly contributed more to motocross over the years than anyone else.

No doubt! How many other supercross team managers would you find late at night dreaming up and machining on a lathe or mill a potential new part or part improvement…even if it’s only a part improvement to keep the factory awning straighter??? Roger DeCoster is the class of class in the moto world. You could probably put the next 3 race team managers together and they still wouldn’t come close to the depth of knowledge, understanding and insight that Roger possesses!

Excellent tour by John, he is an outstanding learned face for the organization. As for Professor Emeritus, Mr. Roger DeCoster, call him "The Man", "Dirty Harry", whichever. He's cooler than the other side of the pillow, has been for over 50 years. I could probably make a valid, winning argument that he's been as important to motocross & supercross as the knobby tire.
