MXMag Quoter: November 2010
Also in November there was no shortage of spicy and remarkable statements in the off-road world. An anthology…
“I sometimes had a hard time believing it myself.”
Josh Coppins about the fact that he clashed with riders like Stefan Everts in Motorwereld 12/2010
“When KTM is no longer directly involved in an off-road discipline, you know that sport is in trouble.”
Moto Magazine about the state of affairs in Supermoto.
“I think the sport is changing because of the economy, in my case to be successful you have to surround yourself with good people and people who are very motivated and want to progress.”
Andrew Short about his transfer to Red Bull KTM in Dirt Bike Rider 12/2010
“A major disappointment.”
Gautier Paulin about his 2010 season in MX Magazine November 2010
“When I first started (with Dubach Racing Development) I had my exhausts made by a competitor. When he saw that my market share was starting to grow, he decided to end the collaboration overnight.”
Doug “Dr. D” Dubach, holeshot and exhaust specialist in Moto Verte 12/2010
“Having to work in the winter with a hand in a plaster cast in a workshop where it was zero degrees made me realize what real life was like. Then I much prefer training with the motorcycle to getting up every morning for such work.”
Jérémy Tarroux, ex GP cross rider and future endurist in Moto Verte 12/2010
“The biggest and best Supermoto event in the world.”
Moto Magazine about the VOO Superbiker from Mettet
“After the endurance cross in Axel it took 3 days before I could walk faster than my very elderly neighbor…”
Motorwereld editor-in-chief Thierry Sarasyn about his participation in the 3 hours of Axel.
“Becoming world champion was the icing on the cake for my career.”
FIM Women's Enduro World Cup winner Ludivine Puy in Moto Verte Special Enduro
“During the entire event I rode in 2e gearing around on my Paul Bird Motorsport Kawasaki KX 250. That's normal in British Supercross racing.”
Two-stroke rider Gordon Crockard on the Belfast Supercross in Dirt Bike Rider 12/2010
“BMW dug a hole for itself by refusing to change the GS 450 They signed three of the world's best endurists and top engineers but didn't listen to us.”
David Knight about his short-lived stint at BMW Motorrad Motorsport in 2009, in Dirt Bike Rider 12/2010
“The 80s were a unique period in motocross. I understand that people like to talk about that. All the major companies (from the motorcycle sector) were involved and wherever we raced in Europe we had large spectator numbers.”
Dave Thorpe in a nostalgic mood in Moto Magazine November 2010
