Malin is a nice guy, end of.

He tells it reasonably even and stays on the fence where possible, what he won't do though is stay quiet when someone is on fire and when someone is below par, some people dislike that, don't know why.

I did not like him pointing out 1.10 min Herlings beat Tomac by. He did not do it for anyone else outside of top3. I bet he had a jizz in his pants.

Herlings is of course incredible. The things he can do with the bike, constant little touches - wheeling this, hopping that, on the pegs, always in just the right spot - making what is incredibly difficult look like he's not really in contact with the ground, like he's riding a hoverbike or something. Absolutely phenomenal.

Did the loss of Dungey and Roczen hurt the AMA riders outdoor speed this year? Sure Baggett and Marv are bloody fast, but they are no where near the speed of 5 and 94. So did a season of having a reduced top end speed hurt Tomac and his race pace? Cause this is so far away from what I expected. The AMA riders are getting fucking shit kicked so far. When a rookie is your fastest rider, alarm bells are ringing damn loud right now.

I'm pretty sure that's the only story people care about, why shouldn't he point it out?

I'm big big Tomac fan, but that is just disappointing.



Hope he enjoys hunting on his time off..

I'd say he wasnt doing his job if he didnt,,, he did the first 3, and then mentioned Tomac, as he should have done, seeing as he was the one everyone was expecting to be up there,

Sadly, thats what you get for being 1'10 off

I wonder what Hannah and Bailey think about this. I specifically remember their interviews about euros racing on their home turf.

He certainly is. Best commentator in the world, the amount of work he does and does on his own is fantastic.

When the track isn't perfect Tomac struggles hard core, he was the exact opposite on the Honda...

I hope the track gets better tomorrow so he can tough out a top 5. We will see.

The Supercross season beat the sh!t out of the big 3 this year mentally and physically. Eli's the heir apparent (by default) and this season (starting with A1) has taken its toll. There's always tomorrow, but a Champion should be able to dig deep for a better performance today. Make me look stupid tomorrow, Eli !

ET3 is the USA's golden boy right now- millions of you are only interested in how he fares. Malin was doing what Millions of you wanted.

My 80 year old mother watched the qualifying races with me because our family relatives own and operate WW Motocross Park on part of their ranch and my cousin runs and owns the track. She asked me why all the other riders were going so slow except for #84 on the orange bike? She also said she liked how he always stood up on the pegs even through a lot of the turns, she was very impressed. She has been around motorcycles and motocross since I was a kid, and has seen Roger Decoster and other great riders race back in the 70's until present. My Mom knows Moto...

Well the guy without goggles was the current world champion. The guy in front of Gasjer was Simpson who has won GP's in sandy conditions. So maybe Tomac just wasn't good enough today. The competition is deep in MXGP. Starting outside the top 10 makes life very difficult.

Looks like Webb may try and race tomorrow. That's really good news if so as it means his injury obviously isn't as severe as first thought. Props to him for wanting to get out there

Herling reminds me of JMB some but with more raw speed. JMB used to kick everybodys ass and hardly ever train, just natural talent on a motorcycle.

It's all good Andris. We are getting our ass kicked seven ways to Sunday right now. Figured we would get trashed a bit from Malin and a few on here. We've been able to talk some shit over the years on here , but the shoe is on the other foot now. Karma I guess.

Blame supercross for this BS IMO!!!! As little by as we put supercross at the very top of the food chain this will continue to happen as I'm a huge fan of both series and watch both weekly and right now euros are flat out next level in actual motocross!!! Anyway, Go USA and give em hell tomorrow!!

Kongols gets it. The number of snide remarks he's made over the years regarding American riders is incredible. He's a great announcer and very race savvy, but his subtle but constant anti-U.S. crap gets old fast.
