You must have been stoked to get a break from him during the commercials then.

I thought the announcing crew was great.

I think 3 people is too many, no matter who they are, and what combination it is. I thought the commentary was good. RJ and Weigandt Or MC and Weigandt would be great shows. Too many people, not enough races so, three in the booth.

Thought the commentary was great! I love RJ, a true legend of the sport, I’m amazed people can complain about having him commentate for one round. Yes, he talks about his past a lot, but I think it’s interesting how he can relate and provide a different perspective.

OP sounds like one of those short-attention-spanned phone and social media addicted persons who can't let go of tiny little voices in their head.

I just thought that was another Mavtv technical issue. It seemed like his mic wasn’t balanced the same as the others.

It didn’t bother me at all, I thought he did a good job. Didn’t hear enough from MC, he was not too thrilled racing outdoors so maybe he thought it’s best to keep quiet.

Agreed. Weege is a given. RJ, MC and JT were terrific as well. So much better than the SX RDL and SX nightshow clowns, Allen, Beat and Screetch.

Its kinda hard concentrating on what he is saying sometimes because he talks so damn monoton, which is not really what you want as an announcer. But I really like his analytic aproach and I think its an awemsome addition to the broadcast!

RJ has done enough announcing for Red Bull that I knew he would do alright. I was pretty surprised by how well MC did, though. He sounds kind of wooden in the Science of Supercross segments, so I wasn’t sure how he would do, but he did great.

I would agree RJ doesn’t have a voice for radio/broadcasting (McGrath either)- but so what that’s not the purpose here..

It’s bringing in a perspective from legendary riders to compare their experiences and expertise to today’s racing.

Yeah he was bad. Seemed like he was annoying weege by rambling on during gate drops and finishes where weege would normally talk. Weege also had to talk over him to announce passes as they happened. Dude was just rambling on the whole time. I'm sure he's a nice fella, just isn't cut out for the booth.

Look, a whole pack of them. Grew up hating Honda - they were the Chevy of motocross. Cheered for everyone else; plus was a huge Wardy fan. I respected these guys talent but team green all the way baby.

Absolutely! He was tough to listen to! The guys is an absolute legend and in a podcast/bench racing session I could listen to him all day long but we tuned in to watch the motos and when applicable hear insight from the host or color commentator that can actually add the the viewing/listening experience. Weege and MC were great, RJ was a huge letdown and I found myself muting the volume when he would ramble on about nothing or go on an extended history lesson about himself. The absolute worst was his “gotta give a shout-out to mike Craig Tampa SX Winner” THREE TIMES he repeated that during 450 moto 1 alone 🤦🏻

This is complete rubbish. If anything he was being very gracious to someone that he obviously looked up to and that would be Jeremy McGrath. Always asking for MC’s opinion and input. Who cares if he gave Craig a shout out a few times? Maybe Mike is a friend of his and he’s proud of his son Christian? Do you want a Personality behind the microphone and someone with real world experiences and stories or do you want Ralph?

I didn’t enjoy his contributions to the show, doesn’t change my view of him as a person and a legend, I still have my JT bones gear that I begged my parents for all because RJ made it look so cool! That said I personally would enjoy the coverage more without him.

Yeah MC killed it , he made Mx sound super Cool. RJ did great also. RJ did Ax announcing and that’s not easy with the massive action. That was 20 yrs ago I thought RJ did Great. Both MC and RJ had to say Jett when Weege said Hunter for the win. Kinda of funny. I,ll watch the race again they did such a Great job. Cool to hear how excited RJ was on his favorite track Millville. And MC saying Southwick I didn’t expect that.

You do know there is this 50th anniversary theme to this years outdoors season? You do know that?

So don't be shocked when you get a dose of nostalgia, It wont kill you after all. It's a celebration. Enjoy it.
