Is KTM really the one to watch? I mean where is the * next to first podium finish with how many riders in front crashed out in the rain so they could win? Off top of my head I know at least 2.
Suzuki on the other hand I think has a ball rolling and they could get some momentum behind it to really show up in 2019. Can't wait for next season!

Nothing like jump
I simply meant KTM is dumping a huge amount of resources into the MotoGP effort. I stand by that statement.

Sounds good, I have no idea about what KTM is doing, just thought the statement was because of first podium.
Excited to know that they are, be nice to have a another competitor.

Still waiting to see KTM test that bike with Ohlins suspension instead of the in-house WP stuff.

And now it seems that the very team that fired him is going to rehire him to race Moto3 for 2019? How do you say "Forgive and Forget" in Italian?

Ha ha I have no idea what that "Nothing like jump" statement was? Did you type that?
Were they using WP on the MotoGP effort? Wow I didn't know that.

KTM owns WP, much like Honda/ Showa. It took HRC a long time to make the switch to Ohlins!
The technology is available for Ohlin quality suspensions so why can’t a company that wants to, manufacture them instead of buying them? Ferrari and Mercedes don’t use Ohlins.

Good question, but the fact remains that the only successful teams in the sport use their stuff, gotta be a reason.
This has been an interesting year , certainly am looking forward to next season . I am hoping for many close fought battles for the podium places , race after race for the best '19 season !!
I'm guessing patents and a very restrictive confidentiality agreement. Also, Ohlins sends techs out to run the suspension setup for teams. Still, you would think someone would reverse engineer it. I can tell you their suspension is magic though, even at the low consumer end.

Nope that was all you. Look up at the post.
Anyway 2018 was my first time watching all the races. Got DVR back in Jan so was able to record and watch all of them.
Dam bro getting old is a pain! Lol!
