DK is an amazing rider he has no peer in the world enduro scene at the moment, I have been part of other discussions on this matter and the general learned concensus is the BMW has the wrong handling for his technique or style. It is a furphy that all good riders can ride around problems, some can ride instinctively by the seat of their pants, Stefan M is one of these, other are better “tune and ride”, all things being equal in talent the “tune and ride” bloke will always come out on top. Look at one M Doohan for clarification on this, K Shwantz was possibly more talented, Mick was smarter off the bike.
Bubba is more talented than RC, RC is smarter in the pits.
always been like this, always will be.
