Chad is quitting also. There are rumors going around that he is sick of the asterisk being applied to this season already.

The pre-race show will be a plane taking off from a treadmill.

I'm sure it will be something stupid the average fan could give a damn about.

Does RacerX ever break good stories anyway?

That would be newsworthy.

The series also needs someone getting arrested for something cool like speeding at 150mph while drunk and high.

I'd think the guys running the operations would buy it from LN before they let anyone else like YS. Those guys have a pretty strong personal proprietary sense of who owns SX.

Since it could be a Reed runaway this season, and the two biggest stars are hurt/retired, maybe they coaxed MC into coming back to mix it up with 2nd place on down, to keep the fans interested??? I'm sure he is on pace with the other Honda riders at the test track.

Just dreaming......

Seriously, though, it wouldn't seem like an event based press conference is where anyone is going to talk about an acquistion. Maybe new rounds or sponsors, but not business side stuff.

Would be interesting, though; Youthstream partnering with Dorna. Dorna is the entity that holds the FIM World SXGP sanction; YS only acquired the MXGP sanction when Dorna bailed.

All GL, yup, but AG went away with the sale to Dorna and YS came into being with the purchase from Dorna. And he made a killing on both ends of the deal. For Dorna, MX was kind of like Daimler buying and selling Chrysler.

Don't know for sure if he had the SX sanction pre Dorna, but don't know why not. The notion I have heard from a couple different places is that he doesn't want a vibrant Euro SX scene because it would only develop skills that riders would take to the USSX.

But maybe that will all change (over Ray Blank/Mel Harris/et al's dead bodies I guess0.
