How is that a joke? The kid had to just finish the moto to become world champion, an opportunity that may never arise again in his career, and you think he's going to go all out and try and beat 3 wildcards? Now that's a joke
Dude, those GP riders race us harder than AMYONE else, because all of your riders have a chip on your shoulders regarding US riders past dominance. I don't believe it for a minute.

He didn't say that though, he said something along the lines of he could be backing off because he knows he has the championship won, which probably was the case at that time. Again you are just being paranoid.
Also, what about his comment about US riders "not wanting play by the rules"...are you freakin kidding me?Grinning

He's a totally biased prick. Hell, in the 250 motos we had US riders 1st through 3rd and he didn't even mention them, he talked about 4th through 5th the whole damn moto. Then his passive aggressive back handed slights of US riders make me want to puke. Hell, a rider that probably won't be able to get a ride next year and a guy racing a 450 for the first time almost beat your best..haha...suck it Malin!

In the second moto it looked liked Gasjer was going for it early on but when he realized it wasn't going to happen he just settled into his own pace. I've never really had a problem with Malin's announcing... I don't see what the big deal is.

In most cases maybe. But when you just have to make sure you finish to win a title, you are not going to push to try and beat someone who is of no threat to you whatsoever. He did what he had to do, I'm not saying he could've beaten them anyway, I'm saying there's no way Gajser was riding 100% flat out today

In regards to the championship, as in they were going for the win and not going to move over for anyone.


What great examples these are so far... that Malin sure is a prick...

I do not seem to hear so much the biased stuff guys are complaining about but to me he just seems very low energy and not very interesting to listen to.

Even when Wheeler, Zach and RV joined him they all sounded bored. Is that just because it is round 18 and they are all over it by now?
That's just the way he is, the occasional oohs and aahs are about as animated as he gets. It definitely isn't as exciting to me either, but much of the audience over here probably has different personalities to the average American MX fan and might not care much for the high energy kind of commentating.

Pretty much what I saw and heard,Malin does well,some almost hear what they want to hear

I still think the trackside volume needs to be turned up for more atmosphere

We do have shorter attention spans over here no doubt...it's definitely a factor. Whenever I watch BBC, feel the same way about that as well.

This is funny. I have been gone all day and away from the internet. I am sitting here watching the race on DVR and when Mclrath didnt pull over going down the front straight and Malin said "he is riding a wide KTM" then followed by "The KTM boys are not playing by the rules", I instantly logged in here to see the 10 pager.

So, I was wrong, only on page 2, but at least Im in before dumbgeon!

Looked to me like Gasjer wanted to see how the pace was. When he saw it was pretty quick, he did the smart thing to go on and win the championship. Maybe Paulin could have worded it differently? JMO

So... Gasjer was at let's say 80%... loose that battle win the war right?

What about Jonass? What % was he riding at? Was he not trying either? Did he not still have a slight chance at the title?

Was anyone in the 250 class at 100%?

Febvre had nothing to prove... no reason to go 100% and that fucker left it all out there. He rode great! Very exciting to watch.

google Pauls jonass crash and you might know why he was not at 100%
Other than Gajser and Jonass there aren't many big names in that class anymore.
Anstie had bad starts and Guillod did pretty good imo

Though not on the Weege level of energy I think Paul does a fine job though a wee bit biased and pricky at times.

-Zach is a boring guy. Id hate to do the broadcast with him.
-RV is interesting but it must be brought out the way Mathess can sometimes.Id love to have RV in the booth if hes let loose and can speak his mind.
-Wheeler needs to speak up. When he was on the broadcast today i had to turn up the volume.

I felt bad...but I did chuckle when Simpson was being helped off and Wheeler and Malin sounded like they wanted to leave the booth and go down and console him as Des Nations is next week.Tongue

Are you talkin about the guy with the accentSilly He does sound like a 10 year old boy when he gets excited but so does Ralph. I thought he was fair today other than a few slight excuses for the GP boys (weather, lack of motivation, home track etc)

I've grown to appreciate Malin over the last couple years. I think he does alright for being a limey. Laughing
Personally, I'd rather listen to dead silence than Ralph.

x2. He's grown on me this year. Yes OP is right, he has a well known bias against most US racers, but thankfully that doesn't come up much when they are in Europe with no US riders on the circuit. Other than that I much prefer his announcing to Ralph and the commercials.

I would take Paul everyday of the week compared to the current AMA commentary team which is a circus apart from Langston, but Langston talks way too much about roczen.

Anyone reminding me of you isn't a good thing, that's for sure.

"Machine thinks JG cant find a ride? Both BS and ignorant." What a "BS and ignorant" comment. Machine thinks Grant PROBABLY won't be able to get ride, meaning he thinks Grant may or may not get a ride, there's a difference.

"Webbs 1st 450 race? Also inaccurate ." He raced Monster Cup on a 450 two times (Outside the top 10 all three mains in 2014, and outside the top 10 overall in 2013), which is irrelevant because it's SX. He also raced in Japan on a 450, but that wasn't really a challenge for him. You realize that was a while back right? Almost a year ago is the last time he's raced a 450, he's been racing a 250f ever since he was done with Japan (Or Monster Cup? Which ever ended first last year). This MXGP was his first REAL outdoor race. Sorry, the competition in Japan is no match for the GP's.

"Point out what Bob said that was inaccurate ...." I didn't claim any inaccuracy, it's just a stupid comment, it's a comment similar to what you would post and i found it annoying. It just reminded me of you, which wasn't a pleasant reminder...

"or just stfu." Laughing
