Sounds like KTM was wanting better results, guy is a legend, maybe KTM and Roger should make the call to Marvin and Webb about their outdoor results.
 
Just coming back off injury, and not so much a little one, may have had a hand in it. Dude is an animal. He may know a little more about himself than we do. We may not have seen the last of him on the MX track...just on this team.
 
Pretty sure his big crash took a lot of the wind out of his sails. Bottom line he does not have to do it. Sad thing is KTM and ROGER are pieces of s**t. Guarentee you he has sold and done more for KTM Than they have, Roger was a dick with Travis as well I think he did more for Suzuki sales than Roger ever did modern era.

after your MXON post, and this, you really hate roger.. so whats the story there? lol
 
KR557 has sold a lot of KTM's - go to a local off-road race and look around. He's a god to that scene.


Roge running him out early is pretty lame. KR did a lot for KTM.

May have, but got smoked at motocross. Not sure he expected the back markers to be that fast.
 
He finished 6th in a 450 moto last year, so I am sure his jaw breaking crash put the fear in his head. Just think Ktm and Roger could have handled it better. They have no 250 rider that can keep it on 2 wheels other than a 17 year old. And he was winning when his motor let gom

I dont see how Roger is to blame for running him out. Seems to me more like he wanted out.

Watched the whole video on his part and he said he wanted to and was doing it cause his mental state of racing and riding isn’t there. He just wasn’t into it anymore and couldn’t get to the level needed to perform. He has won so much in off-road he wanted to try motocross figured it out that those dudes are no joke and of course injuries don’t help but dude just said straight up doesn’t have it anymore. At least he was honest said he didn’t have it and is going to move on with his life dude won 8-9 gncc titles he’s a legend either way
 
Kudos to him for being honest but if you think for a second that the back markers in the 250 class are better you are nuts, guy got hurt and it put it in his head is all, he got 6th in a 450 moto with real talent. Kinda the same deal with Grayck a few years back running up front in 450, he just had so much going on in his head with his dad passing. Outside life has alot of effects on these guys.
If your head is not in it then it is not wise to be out there at that level.

He specifically said in the article that the jaw incident messed with him and that was why he didn't have it any more. Nothing to do with Roger.
 
Other than his whole attitude changed after he brought it up. Maybe they have another version on your internet.
 
On pulp he brought up that Rodger called him and told him they were looking for better results. They went over it again on the Moto:60 show yesterday that Kaleb was pissed about it.
 
Just think it was shitty the way it was handled. Guy got hurt and year before he finished 6th, hardly think it was a fluke. They could have been supportive and said he had issues with the crash and played off of it and rode it out.
