The boy can talk alright! He speaks like a racer too

Not so much insider and pit-bits goings on talk etc which personally I love to hear as Malin does but in time with mixing it in the paddock as the series goes on I'm sure he''ll could give us some more scoop Smile

I loved Langston in the talk box. Super awesome guy and knows moto. His insights and commentary were spot on and I hope he stays.

I thought it was funny when he was telling the lapper to get out of the way. I think he did a great job

I thought he did awesome... seemed a bit tight and nervous at the very start but once the gate dropped I thought he did an awesome job! Good factual banter between those two.

Seems like a nice guy but I'm not a fan. He seems like he has a hard time getting out what he's trying to say. Then at the end during that epic KR/RD battle he cut off Weege every time he was trying to call the final turns...not what a color commentator is suppose to do.

Before you rip on me go listen to the that last lap again on youtube or your DVR. I don't care what you say a color commentator is not suppose to cut off the play by play announcer 5 straight times during the action.

Hard time getting words out? Ever listen to RC or Fro?

To feel like you need to post a rebuttal before someone responds, tells me you know it was stupid thing to say....seriously..where do you people come from..

+1. Both my wife and I had to rewind it.. "did he just say, dude, get out of the way??" Yep, he did. LOL.

I love Emig and even Ralph, but Weege and Grant did awesome..

I was pleasantly surprised, his commentary was a lot more insightful than Emig or RC. Stuff like how Ando could square up turns and take smoother lines due to the KTM's steel frame.
