On the pulp show Weege was telling Steve that Mookie didn't crash first corner and Steve said he doesn't watch the 250 class just the open class, had me wondering .

if that is true he is missing some good racing. I suspect it might have something to do with what he needs to get done after the 450 moto. I know at one point he was preparing the goggles for several riders, I forget what brand.

Just that he writes expert opinions on the lites race and riders each week but said he doesn't watch them. Obviously has brilliant story telling skills. Gotta admire that.

I would think you would see more on the replays of the TV coverage than you would see watching the race at the track, alot of Matthes stuff is rumours talk of the pits and being able to get that stuff is jsut as important,

ps: Hows Jake after the crash with Josh?

Hand is swollen, him and Coppiins hit hard, no broken bones,yes sure steve chases the rumours and I agree with all he said and it's cool he said he likes to bee in the food stalls while the girls race,guess he is a writer not coach but I would be studying those top 250 guys up close.

I watched both motos two feet from the track making notes like i usually do. What I meant in the podcast was I did not watch the 250 motos on TV at that point of doing the podcast. I have now watched them like I usually do.

I can't help but feel that perhaps oldmate is upset because the guys on the podcast made a joke about the moss boys technique consisting of closing their eyes and pinning it
If that's the case take it with a grain of salt, everyone knows how much talent, work and skill it takes to get to their level, and I am guessing Matthes knows this more than most of us
Just some light hearted commentary on their "balls out" style

But I am making some pretty large assumptions there! Apologies if I am wrong (which I probably am)

I thought it was cool he knocked the word institute in my business title and I don't know he ment much by some of his other comments saying I was like Millsaps etc. what I did take is he spoke about my coaching and doesn't know or ever seen anything so I knew what he was saying was just good story telling so I guess when he said he only watches the open class it got me wondering

Not in this case. I listened to the show and his explanation above is exactly what he said on the pulp show. I think you just might not have been paying enough attention.

So in other words, you have an axe to grind and drew the dumbest conclusion possible to try and embarrass him by calling him out on supposedly not watching the 250's. Excellent play.
