I'm not sure how this will go... Yes the new Yamaha is thinner and not so bulky compared to the '22, but it's less stable, it doesn't jump through the whoops nearly as well as the KTM, and his biggest advantage is being on the brakes, pivoting, and cutting down tighter than anyone else to shorten the track and make up for the lack of raw speed compared to a Sexton or Tomac.... While we've seen Eli start cutting down tighter than we ever saw on the '22, I don't think it's going to be quite as good at that... Even though the Austrian bikes aren't the best in the whoops in general, i don't see him all of a sudden figuring out long, big cupped out whoops just by switching brands. The fresh air by being on a team that he dominated in the 250 class, that should be a big positive, and they were able to figure the bike out when factory Yamaha, JGR, etc couldn't, so it should be a lot better than his previous stint on Factory Yamaha when he moved to the 450 class. I'm not sure he'll be better compared to the KTM that he's won two titles on and looked good outdoors compared to how he normally looks, and I don't think he was really giving it everything he had since he was mad he couldn't ride overseas in World Supercross and never wanted to race outdoors, feel like he was going through the motions and was more than happy to part ways and he probably was fighting for that contract to end before Pala even dropped a gate. Also, if he doesn't win within the first 3-4 races and isn't consistently in the top 3, mentally he's going to question if he made the right decision.. Same with Sexton on KTM, he's either going to better or he's going to be worse, i don't see there being any inbetween...and with both Hunter and Jett riding 450's, I don't see Webb being up there on the podium much, atleast not compared to years prior... it'll be hard for Sexton too, especially if he gets mentally frustrated. I've heard Hunter is just as good as Jett on a 450 and he's been on it for quite awhile. In no particular order, i see it being Jett, Eli, and Hunter being top 3 consistently if Hunter is as good as I've heard. Id love to see some brother on brother racing for wins, it'd be historic. Then i see Sexton being the 4th place guy... While I like KTM, I don't feel it will suit him and his style and I'm not sure how mentally compromised he is... He may be similar in speed, but I don't see it fixing those mistakes he's now known for, I see it making it worse. He rode the Same exact settings this year as he did outdoors against Eli in '22, he keeps losing the front when last year was night and day better in terms of not going down. Jett never loses the front, he'll push both wheels before he loses the front, and he saves it by his body positioning. He stays straight up and down centered on the motorcycle with elbows up giving him leverage and weighting the outside peg, while chase when his front starts going he dips his shoulder and that puts the weight in the exact opposite place it should be when losing the front, so he ends up on the ground in the blink of an eye. I think it's a Sexton issue, not a Honda problem, not with those resources and looking that comfortable at speed, atleast until he's on the ground. The shorter wheel base on the '23 YZ-F also makes it more unstable at speed and last year Eli struggled most in the transitions on long rhythm sections, especially when it was rutted and was spongy, pulling the bike down. If Eli kept getting headshake and couldn't push through the faces in the rhythms and kept getting more pop than he wanted, I don't see Webb being able to push through and stay low... But when the track got tight with more corners and shorter rhythms, that's when Eli had everyone covered last year.. and after a full supercross season, I see the bike being better for Eli than it was last year. I know that sounds crazy since he won the first few races, but you could see he was struggling with things and it became more apart when it was rutted, cause normally the ruttier it gets the more Eli likes it, that wasn't the case in '23...but it takes time to dial in a brand new generation motorcycle and then automatically throw on all your rigid factory parts before you ever even ride it, it's easy to be lost and not have any clue which way to go... teams used to start with stock motorcycles when they get a new generation motorcycle and build it from there, that way you feel what each and every part does and which way you need to go throughout the process. Starting from a factory bike is backwards in my opinion. Infact, Dylan went to a stock-ish bike before Unadilla and through that found which direction he needed to go, and he did look a lot better, the bike stopped looking so high in the rear with those bars, he didn't look like Dylan. It really looked like they took Tomac's bike and slapped the number 14 on it, he loves a high rear and similar low/swept bars.
Maaan anyone that QUALIFIES for an AMA pro Supercross or Motocross is a talented emmer effer. Like, every guy on the starting gate. The last place guy would probably smoke everyone at most local regional tracks/races. Even the "slow" guys are fast. The way some of you slam certain riders is just...😂...c'mon now!😆
@@vitalmx you are correct. Forgot all about JC. I think all of a sudden he will catch fire, not that he's doing bad now. Can't put my finger on it but for some reason I think riding the 450 full-time will work out well
@vitalmx please dont start using ai voice. It sounds terrible, is so disingenuous and is just the worst. I dont want my brain to associate supermotocross videos with all of the other grabage on youtube because of the ai voice. Plus, you guys are way better than that.
100% hes riding Blue.. Tomac is out... But no official RETIRED statement.. and this is motocross so ANYTHING can happen in just hours... Probably better to say WHO THE F=¢€ KNOWS🤷♂️
@@nicholasdalonzo7712 did you read my comment ??, 100% said " BUT THERE'S NO OFFICIAL RETIREMENT STATEMENT".. "AND THIS IS MOTOCROSS SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN JUST HOURS"...

He made the right decision!! Star Yamaha is dominating the sport period!! Haiden deegan is taking over ! He will be the best to ever do it end of discussion
Being in the top 5 doesn't mean you suck...you are leagues below him and talking smack! Probably wouldn't even qualify...if you can, show it, if you can't - shut up! Nothing pisses me off more than a keyboard warrior tearing down someone who's a legit professional!
this is some good editing
Where’s the editing webb is in Yamaha
Star racing is killing it right now with the talent and power. I’d love to see him join star!!
WELCOME TO YAMAHA BABBBYYYYY!!!!!! LET'S F'ING GOOOO!!!!
He is going to fly on a blue machine!!
Excited to see him in blue team
Sick edit
Bad news for KTM I say!
But they’re getting Sexton which in my opinion Chase if faster
love this 🙌🏻
Yamaha is where it’s at.
Yes, it's great news 😮
Going to be an interesting 2024
Blucru baby!!🤙🏻💪🏻💙💙🔥
Yamaha needs to thank the Deegans
He's taking Dylan's spot at Star.
Nope😮
@@reese3407ya..
Good lol bye bye frenchie
Tomac is probably low-key retired because he knows he can't hang with Jett Lawrence
@@SonnyFetternot true, if roczen can hang with him, tomac has got it easy
Highly doubtful cause Eli just signed another 2 year indoors only deal.
Bro everybody switches to Yamaha I swear
More podiums coming for CW
He is filling tomacs spot 😮
Naw tomac signed a two year contract before he got injured
Dylan’s. DF14 been talking retirement
@@RobertJones-ix2hugood riddance
cooper is on a redbull deal, yamaha is monster. how will that work out?
Hahahhahahah i bet kenny crying into his food right now
Guessing he has no contract with RedBull.
His contract with Red Bull ends this year.
Kawasaki needs him
Frame and other problems, Go Yamaha!!
There's no problem with the KTM brands at all. Fluck Yamaha
He has concussion problems and had another one. He said he is out for the rest of the year. He needs to rest for a while.
Not good for KTM. Maybe there bike prices will drop
Lol
Lol,no

Go Red...Honda is the best everything. Bikes, riders, training camps.
“Practice crash”
More like his p****y hurts
Eli is in at least for SX next year. I say Ferrandis comes back with them on a 3 Rider team
Nope. Star already has three 450 riders for 2024. Tomac, Webb, and Justin Cooper.
@@vitalmx you are correct. Forgot all about JC. I think all of a sudden he will catch fire, not that he's doing bad now. Can't put my finger on it but for some reason I think riding the 450 full-time will work out well
He will be showing up to go for that 5.5
Going to Honda. Stamp it
FINALLY GOING TO A REAL TEAM
Are you guys using a robo voice?
Definitely heard this voice over on a show before
Anyone know why the sudden departure?
coop said he crashed during practice that took him out for the MX Season…..soooooo
I bet hes dying to race roczen at wsx
I think his contract time was up
Coop hasn't been happy for a while with his bike setup.
no not thank flyin brian deegan...he needs the boss of yamaha that is..get his butt to the races bring all badass secrets and bob hannah..lets do it
Tomac and Webb, ya think??? Next year is gonna be interesting especially with Jett on the 450
So Dillon is out and Webb Tomac?
Dylan is out, Star will run three 450s next year with Cooper Webb, Eli Tomac, and Justin Cooper.
I doubt coop goes back to Yamaha
It's a done deal, he's already on the bike.
Ktm in strictly business yikes.
Секстон на его место?

Those star bikes are damn fast, and ktm hasn't innovated much in the past 4 years . Maybe it's time to debut an aluminum frame ktm?
Wow, not the usual mid nationals parting.. wonder if sexton will follow?
Good move for Webb and KTM. They were never a great fit.
He'll never win again
This is fake
Huh?
@@vitalmxmade ya look 😂❤❤
No please no not star please if he can’t stay on ktm then he should Quit we do not want him
He’s blue now mate
Weeb cannot do better on any other brand 450.. he wasn't that good on KTM.all his teammates rode better.
He won a supercross title on a KTM numb nuts
how can his team mates ride better when he had 2 championships and they had none. that comment dont make sense lol
He made the right decision!! Star Yamaha is dominating the sport period!! Haiden deegan is taking over ! He will be the best to ever do it end of discussion
He doesn't like Outdoors because he sucks at it
He did win a 250 outdoor title… I wouldn’t say he sucks…
@@JBarnes917 he sucks outdoors
