Hell, even 'Ol "golden Child," aka Lewis
Hamilton wants to test some two wheel Thunder, albeit probably a Hondre' or
MotoGP duc'
Ah, what's that they call in the Racing Trade
Back-timing? As it's several weeks ago now when I heard thee Voice 'O Indy Cars
Leigh Diffey noting how the upcoming AMA Supercross event from Nashville would
be interesting. Since it featured KTM team-mates being 1-2 in the Championship.
As this was the race being replayed Sunday morning
which Jumped All Over Indy Cars Bootyful' Barber's TV Broadcast Schedule...
Huh?
As another Supercross race come 'N gone, for
which I Don't bother watching on Thy Telie' anymores', since it's nothin' but
NOISE! Not to mention the Hyena Whine 'O Ralph "Keyboard Warriors
R-US" Sheheen.
HOLY HOWLIN' TV ANNOUNCERS, BATMAN!
Thus I had zero clue who Diffey was talking
about, since I didn't hear him mention any names.
Yet it turned out to be that 'Ol Muskrat'
Feller, Marvin
Musquin whom I first learned of a year ago when
Supercross was Invading Circle City.
As Marvin was one of the two Red Bull KTM
Riders currently fighting for the title, albeit it's Musquin's team-mate Cooper
Webb who currently leads the points battle, and presumably will have been
crowned the 2019 AMA Supercross Championship Winner by the time this No Fenders
story Flies over thou Burms...
As KTM has become the predominant force in
Supercross, beginning with Ryan Dungee's "three-peat" between
2015-2017. Followed by Jason Anderson's 2018 title for Seester' brand Husqvarna, meaning
the Austrian Motorcycle concern's won the last four years in-a-row.
And ARSE-Sumedly, Cooper Webb will notch his
Debutant 450 SX B-I-G BOYZ' No. 1 Plate either at New Jersey's MetLife
Stadium's Penultimate round (4/27) or at Salt Lake's Sam Boyd Stadium's Season
Finale May 4th, unless something truly Bizzaro' occurs during those final remaining
events.
Not to mention that KTM has completely
throttled the Two-wheel Competizione in the DAKAR Rally, having won every
single event from 2001 thru 2019; aye Karumba!
Thus, the point of this warblin' No Fenders story
is that hopefully KTM's aspirations of winning, and ultimately becoming a
Dominant Force in MotoGP will also transpire. Which certainly is what my
current Numero Uno Kneedragger' Johann Zarco's counting upon.
As I must say I was quite surprised when the
Frenchman signed to ride for KTM. As I get how Zarco would wish to move up to a
Factory "Works" effort, but seriously? You'd have Thunk It! That
Johann would see there were better factory efforts out Thar, Righto?
As certainly Johann's ruing his choice of not
choosing to ride for Suzuki, if the scant rumours I've read about interest from
them is true? Not to mention that momentarily Zarco's KTM team-mate Pol Espargaro
has the upper hand, having just finished P8 at Circuit Of The Americas (COTA)
vs. Zarco's "Pedestrian" P13 Finish.
Although presumably in KTM's favour is the
fact that they're running essentially four Works Scooters' in MotoGP with the
aid of their Satellite KTM Monster Tech 3 Team. The former Monster Yamaha "Tek
Twah" (tech 3) Squad Zarco rode for, and Hence will have twice as much
Data acquisition capabilities vs. Suzuki's single entity.
Not to mention eventually, the services of
ex-Repsol Honda Factory Rider Danni Pedrosa as their Test and Development
Rider...
And I'll Confess, as just A "Casual" MotoGP Fan, I really Don't
have a whole lot of insight upon Zarco's decision to sign with KTM for two
years, but certainly wish him and the team the Best, since more true
Competizione is Always Better for the
Sport, and us, thou Fans!
As I'll be
interested to see how Zarco and KTM progress this year. especially since KTM's
Head Honcho sez' they're intent upon winning in MotoGP within five years of
entering the sport. And presumably Zarco felt this was his best Factory Option...
