Aaron Plessinger

100%.

One other comment I was going to make, we went over Aaron Plessinger.

Can I just say that the beginning of the first moto...

Aaron being almost about to make the bonsai for the lead and they just falling apart is just the one clip reminder you need of how poor Aaron's 2026 season has just been in general.

Okay.

For me, I will go Aaron Plessinger because contrary to you picking him for...

What did we say? Negative impact.

I do think that AP was starting to find a little bit more of himself by the end of outdoors.

But yeah, based on everyone I spoke to at Ironman, I think they're just going to run a two-man team of Jorge and Lucas in the premier class.

Of course, Aaron Plessinger is the loser in all of this because earlier in the year, it was very much, if Eli stays, there's no room for AP.

If Eli doesn't stay, AP will make a deal with you.

AP, of course, went to triumph once Eli committed to Supercross only for 27.

So when we sell a bike, all they need to do is add pressure as opposed to changing, having to open up the suspension and plop in a new spring like Moto.

So it feels subtle, but for me internally and some of the stuff that we're working on, the story's not done and we're working in areas to find more of the spring primarily my team is focused on the damping part of it but obviously they're connected and I would never say that we're settled it's interesting that mountain biking went to air for a little while and AP out Aaron Plessinger was easily the most challenging guy to deal with with an Air Force because he's huge And we were testing with him last time when I was with Yamaha.

Villopoto was doing the work, and he set up a coil spring fork, right? And we put AP on it, and he liked it, liked the way it felt.

He was faster.

Yeah.

It's interesting.

And like, you know, like James and Aaron Plessinger, for example, or James and whoever, I mean, their pivot points, their ratios, their weight on front end and back end couldn't be any more different.

Right.

Also, the ramifications of this JT signs that contract.

KTM can't sign Aaron Plessinger.

Lucas Coonan, of course, Jorge Prado, going to be there.

AP's jumping, and look, this is no fault of KTM or Eli Tomac or anything else, but this really hurts KTM for the Aaron Plessinger part of things because AP wanted to sign there.

He gave him two options.

He gave him two deals that two options that I'll do this or this, and they said, no, you can't.

All day.

I was like seeing him and Plessinger after the race on how beat to shit they look compared to every other rider.

They just look like they've went through hell and back in a war.

They look like janitors.

They just look exhausted.

Maybe it's the balding hair.

Does Plessinger not look that way even when he's fresh out of bed?

That's true.

What did you say? Okay.

I said Aaron Plessinger.

That counts.

That counts.
