It's not supercross to whoever is worried that Gajser might do well. Which is pretty darn sad
Partially true, mostly wrong. In particular, the event has been tame since its inception; with or without Gajser...to conclude that a racer who does not race supercross may do well on a track that is not a traditional supercross is not necessarily bias. It is reasonable.

Just when I think they can't possibly make the broadcast more stupid, they get some 12 year old girl interviewing the Supermini all-stars. OMG that was painful. And RC is not on a good one so far either.

Wasn't it Robin that rode Loretta's one year on like a 1987 model? And did really well? I always thought that was a cool story.

It was the '85 model. Regardless, it's still cool.

It’s trying to make it difficult for the riders so they make mistakes and miss rhythms and make the racing better. If it’s all one direct everybody does the same thing lap after lap. The two ways opens up the options to learn and adapt.


Crashes are the consequence and it fucking sucks for Deano.

4 strokes are just so fast and consistent that it’s hard to try and get some 2 stroke style racing without dire consequences. I can see what rc is trying to do, and the execution of a 2 way track is pretty spectacular but maybe trying to induce mistakes is a bad idea
Same track for everybody, he could have crashed anywhere. He's one of my favorites so it sucks.

Fuck Deano. That was nasty. What a bummer.

Saw Deans crash live. Jush 6 inches short on the quad. Looked really bad. Looked like head and shoulder dug into the ground. They did not even take helmet off when they put him on stretcher. I did not see him move, but hopefully they just told him to stay still. Sure hope he is ok...

On the rise where the berm starts too. Dirt looks rock hard there, like when Jordi crashed you could see the hard base right there. So bummed for Deano, SX season done. That's gonna be a femur at the minimum, maybe pelvis.

They said leg injury on the broadcast. Injuries suck but I was a little relieved when they said it, always fear a back or neck injury in those situations

I’m sorry but that was just a bad decision by Dean. I hope he’s ok but u have to be smarter than hucking a quad in an exhibition race practice session.

I do hope he’s ok. Mega bummer if he’s out a while.

Blair should just say what it really is; too sharp of transitions for a two-way track.

I hate to say this as it is based mostly on emotion and not sound judgement but I think it is time for RC to make his exit from supercross; he, at this point, does not provide any tangiable benefit...from shit tracks to shit announcing why is he here still? The pool of people and fans on the industry that remember him in his prime shrinks by the year...

Alessi, I think he sandbagged to get into the LCQ and get that TV time! Thanked all the sponsors.

From the couch it looked like he could use a stabilizer..

Why try and belittle other kids? Back in my day 16 year olds were already winning pro races and going for pro titles.... What does age have anything to do with it? Ima a Lawerence fan BTW but good god we get it.
