Yeah nothing bad about Dave Thorpe!! But if Dave was such a big GP fan he wouldn't run a Red Bull Pro National team but then he would run a GP team... And that is something he doesn't do.

I think Thorpe was 100% correct. He has ran a few GPs this year too with Aubin. He has experiance of a lot of eras too.

Haven't been paying much attention so don't know the ins and outs of it but seems like a lot of you guys are jumping on band wagon and cyber bullying this Geoff guy.

Your homework tonight is to go back and read the MXA vs. Luongo thread. Ready? Go.

I don't want to get into the politics of any of this, but I'd like to share an observation...in 2010 at the MXDN @ Lakewood, I saw Geoff work the weekend. The guy literally RAN all over that mile high track for 2 days to get the best vantage point for reporting...I mean that dude was EVERYWHERE! Hardest working reporter I have ever seen. Just my 2 cents.

Gooff is an MX fan extraordinaire... he never gets bullied, he does troll a bit though.
