Peach it Matthes..
The outsider.
Have you seen the rider's contracts who are upset with having to go? Were these races specifically in there when they signed or was it pressed on them after the fact? I don't know the answer so I'm not going to act like I do.

Your post was pretty bloody spot on.
Even down to English not being his Native Language.
His Native Language is 'Strine' - he's Australian.
Well, I've read that he may be originally from New Zealand - so many of them come here to OZ, the 'orrible little Oiks (luvs yuz. Kiwis). So his Native Language may be that bizarre, barely understandable poliglot that is Kee Wee / Ku Whu. When I've read some of his more blatant "Sock Puppet for Luongo" pieces, I've so hoped we could disown him, and blame it on him being a bloody Weirdo Kiwi. But, it appears he really is, originally from Australia, but, he shipped off to Europe a long time ago.

you might want to get him back for the wallabies tho, they aint doing so well,
Kiwis, seem to live and die by it. Sad, really - though, we Luvs Yuz, Kiwis - you're our 'special' little brothers and sisters!
For the riders who race the GP's and any other "extra" races promoted by Youthstream is the fact that they get paid nothing. No purse money. Giuseppe Luongo and his friends in the FIM keep every penny.
So in the long run, ZERO purse money still equals ZERO no matter how many races Youthsteam promotes.
It's a shame YS don't offer additional purse money in the GPs but their business model is based on investing the money to create a professional series that attracts lucrative sponsorship for the teams, who inturn then pay the riders reasonable salaries. Whether it's working how it should is still up for debate but it cant be compared to America where Supercross generates the big bucks.
It's not the near religion (here) that it seems to be in Un Zud. It's barely of interest. Not saying Rugby Union is a piss poor sport ( I played it myself in my youth - before I started to destroy my knees - to a very high level, beating touring jnr Un Zud and Brit teams, both in the games, and the brawl(s) - well, Rugby is a brawl where a game breaks out
But go ahead, and 'live the dream' through other peoples sporting efforts. Australians are pretty prone to that, but I've found Kee Wees are even worse. That, has never been part of my makeup.
How many horror stories have you read about in MX, from riders, teams, sponsors, promoters etc... The only one i've heard with a good outcome is Travis Preston suing Utopia optical and winning...
Where's JT when you need him? Subway Honda right?
Either way, it was one of the few times that a rider avoided getting walked over / discarded, by a Factory.
Pit Row
I love seeing people bash Steve while Defending him
Steve works in-part for mx sports
Steve is not unbiased media
He is an advertisement show for mx
Paid by mx
He is no real journalist - he is a story writer
If you listen carefully Geoff to the last pulp show , Steve calls the monster smx cup shit... Jake said that's kinda harsh and Steve said! "If monster pays him!! He will say nice things about the monster smx thing!" (Period)
& that's how it works in advertising
If the MXGPs cut Steve a cheque ? He will praise them - but it has to be a BIG cheque
Steve used to advertise the hell out of a product for $5000 now he won't look at 10!
If you pay? He will say ' fly best out there bro or fox ? switch fuckin dealers if they don't carry fox
Race tech is garbage! Steve knows this! He was a factory mechanic! If you pay Steve he will say what ever you want! Like a tape recorder! & if you actually swapped your shit out for race-tech? you're an idiot - sorry
Steves like a puppet , so though he is not paid to say nice things about Charlotte! Don't think it's not hype! It is! The best Motocrossers in the world are about to converge in the USA and yeah the cherry on top is we get to see the regular old MXGP sandbaggers pushed a little!
Those MXGP sandbaggers are the best riders in the world - EVERYONE AGREES WITH THAT!!!! , it's just weird that they are scared to come to the USA and join the A class , where (YES) they usually dominate!
Such wasted talent in the GPs! It's sad!
You'd need like 20 MXGP titles to equal 1 AMA title
Like everts has 10!! of these bogus titles and young up & coming children don't even want him teaching them!
Then when GPs come to America the fans yawn! But throw in a couple A-class guys and the fans come in droves!
It's gonna be a good race
Can't wait !!!
Only problem with Youthstreams business model is that it might work for well funded teams and those who have back door deals with Luongo for travel pay and entry fee waivers.
What it creates is a series where only the wealthy can afford to race. I know that all forms of racing are expensive and the guy with the most money usually wins. What Luongo does by not paying purse money is it eliminates the guys who have the talent to race at the top level but for what ever the reason don't have the connections or funding to do so.
The rider who comes in last place should be paid at least enough money to cover his entry fees.
edited for spelling
I've met him a few times and he was likeable enough.
If you constantly need to tell someone that you're just as good as they are, you are not as good as they are.
Geoff does not seem to understand this.
Steve does what he thinks is right. If he didn't feel DC was right, he would say something. Can Geoff say the same about his employer?
just like guy vital i would be very surprised if he has checked all sponsors products and labels them the best there is as long as the check doesnt bounce all good.
d c would be happy with his investment as would g l with his
wasnt geoff the first to break the news / rumor that rv was gunna race in mxgp and that upset so many with most labelling it crap
Like the FIM
And luongo!!
FIM has ruined motocross and we in the USA should never emulate what they've done to mx
