If he doesn't bring it next weekend, the hype from this weekend will be an EPIC fail!

A sport that commentates to its viewers like we are all 3 years old and have never watched it before, made a video about a race and finish that never happened. Seems about right.

Hopefully someone got video of BamBam and Tomac yelling at each other again.

...and LOL at "felt like nobody else was out there, just checked out".

That was a clever and fun piece of pr. I got a good chuckle out of it. Makes me love the idea of BamBam on the GasGas that much more Smile

Bummer to see who all the sticks in the mud are. Our little sport is just trying to have a little fun. Take it for what it is. Especially after a shitty year that seems to be continuing. Jesus H....

There were memes, interviews and a lot of talk about "no A1 / 3peat for Barcia" so this is some kind of answer to all this talk. And I think it's a funny one! Well played!

I’m not hating it - I just genuinely don’t understand it. If it’s marketing then fortunately for GG I’m in the minority by the looks of it - just left me a little confused and that’s about it. Theres also a Barcia Week on Vurb so I’m guessing there’s a big marketing push happening across media channels for the GG team - bring on H1👍

How much does Gas Gas have to pay to get all the big journalists/Media sites to play along with their gag?

Do you think the promoters were stoked about this? Having a bunch of fans panic like NBC did such a poor job promoting the real series that they were missing the opener?

I can't wait for ESPN to pull this gag with a baseball team a week before the MLB season kicks off.....

It's not that I don't like beer, i just don't like PBR. This feels like an April fool's joke. Are those ever funny?

Maybe if you guys weren’t stuck in the Bob Hannah era, you’d appreciate it and get a good laugh.

I can appreciate the idea of doing something fun but it came across more like an April fools joke in January than a marketing tool. I’m glad 30% of you were entertained though.

Didn’t exactly appeal to my sense of humour, but hey good to see a team be a bit original and try something different. Good on em.

Ummm..... I'm of the Bob Hannah era and I thought the gag was awesome.

It's never a good idea to generalize people. Wink

Would love to see a "behind the scenes" on this. The planning, how much of a track did they build to ensure it looked legit, etc.

I’m assuming you were frantically searching trying to find the race or thought you missed it? My buddy Deeds (fucker!) got me to. But, I can laugh about it.
