CN III VOICES L E T T E R S T O T H E E D I T O R "And what of Ryan Villopoto or Davi Millsaps? Will they step up?" MotoGP TV I know I'm old when I read all of the comments whining about the TV coverage of events (Stockman/Edone). It's very easy for me to remember wait- ing months for coverage of the Carlsbad 500cc MX U.S. GP, and being thrilled to see it. Message to them: Quit whining like little girls and enjoy what you have. Tim Buck Via the Internet The Secret To Success After the success of the Ya- maha Star Racing Team in the AMA outdoors this year, the question is what will the other teams do in response? Will they reverse their cylinder heads? I say try the easy stuff first. Have your riders pull their caps down over their ears. Brent Meeker Camarillo CA KTM Bicycles I may have missed it, but I have not read anywhere in the motor- cycle press of KTM's foray into the bicycle world. I walked into a shop today and saw a full line of KTM bicycles and a mini repair shop inside the showroom. The bikes look good with all the cur- rent technology, but I hope they catch on. Being in the bicycle industry for many years, I have seen many start-up brands come and go. They're probably going to have to break into local bike shops if they plan on making it. KTM is such a creative and intelligent company, is there a chance Cycle News could do a factory visit/inside scoop story on how and why they do what they do? Dayn Mansfield Atascadero, CA I wasn't aware of KTM bicy- cles until reading your email… the bikes look good. For more information, visit http://www. ktmbicyclesusa.com/… Editor. Motocross Recap Congrats to Ken Roczen. Great riding skills, great personality, and a never-say-die attitude, makes for one great champion. Will definitely be a favorite in 2015 as well. Ryan Dungey put up the good fight, but Indiana was his Waterloo. He's another favorite for 2015. He should be proud of his season. I certainly am. Trey Canard sent a message to the other competitors: "I'm back and I mean business." The kid probably has the biggest heart of all the com- petitors. His comeback to top form has definitely earned my respect. Eli Tomac has the condition- ing and skills to be right up there. Another 2015 favorite. James Stewart had a good run, but he could have been so much more. I think he is done with the outdoor Nationals. You've just got to believe someone is going to come out of the woodwork next season. Weston Peick? Fred Noren? Wilson? And what of Ryan Villopoto or Davi Millsaps? Will they step up? I still think RV is done, at least with the outdoors. Millsaps? I hope he goes to the outdoors. Next year is shaping up to be epic. Jim Bunch Via Facebook Roczen Kudos Ken Roczen is a good example of a champion. He gets along with the other riders, doesn't badmouth anyone and lets his riding do his talking. Ed Adams Jr. Via Facebook Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com.
