Langston to change Class

[Okiewan]

AP; 1-07-06

In an effort to be competitive and go for another title, Grant Langston announced today he would contest the KTM Jr. Class. After a dismal showing in the "SX Lites" class at A1, Grant has determined that it would be best for his moto career to move down another class.. "I've wanted to race the Lites class and avoid the real racing, hoping to pick up another title, but obviously these kids can ride..." commented Grant.

Watch for the new number 911 KTM at a SX near you.

OUCH..... :p

He belongs in the 350cc class. Or the 50% less fat class...not the full butter class, but not the Lite class either.

He's only 23. We should not be so quick to judge the actions, decisions and words of a young, talented rider who is under so much pressure. Anyways, he still has plenty of years to race on the big bikes.

Factor in SX is not his strong point, and the SX Lites 'support' class is filled with strong riders. While I am sure Grant hoped to do better than he did at A1, his result is far from 'dismal', considering he came from dead last yet managed to pass 18 other pro riders. He also had the fastest lap of any Lites rider in the main event.

Too bad the general moto public didn't/doesn't apply that to JBS....

The kid won heat 2, but had a crash in turn 1 of the main. He ended up racing from LAST to 4th in the main, for Christ's sake. It's not like Alessi who couldn't make a move to save his life in that race...

LMAO! That's funny boss!

If he was such a cherry picker he'd have a 125 title for every year he's been here.

His race from last to 4th was freakin spectacular and he didn't even have to park that little weasel Alessi to do it.

He is the Current 125 East SX Champion is he not? Sure hope he get's this weakness figured out soon. :laugh:

I would comment but most of you have proven how .... you are. What can I say I am a proud South African and I will support any SA sportsmam and women that is doing well in another part of the world. Hell for a guy to come from a place about as bit as one of your states he isn't doing to badly.

To be honest it is childish for anyone to pass silly comments like some of them I have read on this thread. All the guys out there are just trying there best and we should really support all of them as most of us couldn't dream of riding as well as them.

See Ya

Aren't people who come from the US coming from a place as big as one of our states? Afterall, they had to come from one of the states.

What does the size of a country have to do with the fight/drive/ambition of a man?
