Check out our top picks from around the moto world this past week!
Michael's Picks
| Starting off this week with a get well soon to Martin Davalos. We're completely gutted for this guy. | |
| Martin Davalos: Tuesday was a day that's gonna be hard to forget in my life. I was getting ready for the weekend coming up in New Jersey, I was practicing at a local public track in Corona, California. During my warm up a very strange thing happened, something crazy and unexpected, the master link on my chain broke while going through a rhythm section. It made me go over the bars and I landed really hard on my feet. Unfortunately, I dislocated my right foot and shattered my scaphoid in 9 pieces. I had to have surgery to fix it all. The other foot is really bruised also and can't really put any pressure on my heal, we initially thought I had broken the heal but good news it's not broken, just really bruised. I want to thank my whole team Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki, Parts Unlimited, Thor, Scott, Alpinestars, Vans, Leatt Brace, my trainers Ty Kady and Brock Sellards, my mechanic Dave, and my whole family. This year it's been amazing to me and I couldn't have done it without these people. Thank u for sticking by my side and for believing in me and also to all my friends and fans that do believe in me and have supported me through my whole career. It's time for me to heal up and get better so I can ride again soon. God bless all of you. | |
| Hinson showing off some clutch covers in progress. I want one of these for a dog bowl now... | |
| Hinson Racing: The very early stages of a clutch cover. Still quite a bit of CNC time for these guys. | |
| If I could choose any rider from the MXGPs to come over here it would definitely be Gautier Paulin, as he's amazing to watch. | |
| No comment needed... | |
| Travis Preston wants you to guess where he and the guys from Yamaha were testing. His hint is the amazingly detailed track map behind him, throw your guesses in the comment section. | |
| Travis Preston: Testing with @d_nelson_94 @sbutler9090. By this well designed track map, can you guess the track | |
