Tickle posted a pic of a Kawi yesterday. He either got his Honda taken back and was sent the green machine, or he is going with the best contingency program for the summer.

It doesnt make sense to ride outdoor with their lineup. Those are old models anyways so they might be back Sx or Ax next winter?

Arenacross racing would get more bang for a buck. The UK has a promoter that has ax races in numerous countries. The UK ax races are sold out, very exciting show. A top USA ax rider, should get show up money, just like the old days.

Why do you think MCR are finished? Genova tired of pumping money in for mediocre results?

Those aren't the Canadian team graphics.

These are:



With budget cuts the team only has Marshal Weltin on the 450 and Darian Sanayei on the 250.

Broc has zero offers so far and the Canadian theory may be an option. Don't know about those graphics though.

But...let’s not forget that the “up & coming” Canadian Team Green Riders are sliding under the team’s tent...also...

That’s kinda important to those of us that love our Canadian MX, isn’t it?

Hard to believe some of the guys racing this summer and Tickle and Bloss have nothing lined up.

Assuming the support team (mechanics, suspension, driver...) are not getting paid for the back half of the year - how does a team keep the top talent if they only have a job for half the year?

And I guess it goes the same for riders too.

I get it if it is the only offer, but you get what you pay for.

722 and the whole SGB team for starters. Maybe those guys are not making much but they are supported and I'm sure expenses are paid for as well.

Would Tick take an SGB level ride? I dont know, but you are assuming they are picking their guys over a guy like Tickle.

Has anyone seen or heard of Broc riding anywhere lately? I have not seen the guy around since supercross.

Rodbell beat Bloss by almost 20 points last year in his first full year of Nationals.

722 has more fans than the whole current MCR Team combined, same can be said for ARay.

I don’t get the love affair with Bloss around here, before the Nationals last year guys around here were talking podium and he only got one top 10 😂

Tickets washed up, time to start finding rich parents to pay him to train little Johnny.

Thats a crying shame as Bloss looks to be on the brink of leveling up. Both deserve something.

It was a lot more than “pre workout”.

Didn't Bloss finally get in his groove in SX last year and podium the last round? When he's on, he's top 5 capable. Too many past champions/top tier guys racing now to be hating on top 10 finishes.
