Not really surprising, I think there is more regular AMA based riders racing than there is MXGP/MX2 regulars.

There are also more riders from both the top 3 and 5 of Pro Motocross, than there is MXGP/MX2... and that's excluding world class AMA based riders such as Musquin and Ferrandis who both performed well today/
Imagine if both World Champions were there.

And you could tell that Malin thought so to.

As you say, this is a coverage for the whole world and JT is just a co-announcer but were really steuggeling with being neutral.

I really like him otherwise, but this was just to much.

Finally got a chance to watch all 3 qually's.

Team USA looks great.
Hopefully with some good starts and a bit of luck(stay out of trouble) they get the job done tomorrow.

Ferrandis , Marvin & Renaux also looked really good and should be a force to to be reckoned with.

Hunter,Jett & Evans also looked very solid and I wouldn't be surprised if the Aussie's hung it out and pulled off a podium. All 3 of those guys will find more speed tomorrow.

Geerts put in a great ride too - can never count out the Belgians

I think Captain Obvious would agree that those will be the top 4 teams. .

I wouldn’t be shocked if Team Spain played spoiler and finished on the podium. 4-4-1 results today was super impressive.

Do you think Ferrandis is Spanish?

The Australian team floor should be podium. They can win it.

No, do you?

Open: Fernandez finished 4th
MX2: Farres finished 4th
MX1: Prado finished 1st

As I said, with Team Spain getting 4-4-1 results today I wouldn’t be shocked to see them on the podium. I didn’t mention Ferrandis at any point.

The only moto winners today were Geerts, Cooper and Ferrandis… Prado was crossing over people as usual before he got his doors blown off my Tomac

You’re right. My bad. I was mistaken and thought Prado had won his moto. I’m not sure why I thought that.

That is the best I've seen Cooper ride, he's rising to the occasion.

Rough go for Shimoda, gonna be hard for Japan to qualify now. They really needed at least a Top 5 from him. Hard to see them going straight through and I don’t think they will be able to go through the B main
On all honesty these crashes are gonna keep happening until he gets his elbows up how many times has he tipped over in corners like RJ and Mosiman, it's why ppl like Jett look so smooth

That is incorrect by a long ways. You have a out 5% AMA guys out there.....the rest are either mxgp or riders who basically just race in their own country.

That's incorrect by a longs ways.
There is atleast 20 ama riders and 99 entries. And that's not counting guys like Tyler medaglia, josiah natzke , jorgen taliviku or toni cairoli.
So that's atleast 20% of the riders are ama.
It's hard to count the mxgp riders coz so many do there local mxgp racers or are emx based. But I estimate about 40% are mxgp based.

But in the top 5
8 from ama or 53%
7 from mxgp 47%

Finishing 5-10th
4 ama riders and
6 mxgp
5 non mxgp
Then you have guys like cairoli who is mxgp but raced ama this year. And others like Tommy searle, harri kulas, who are mxgp but prob more of a local racers. Then there's 1 non ama/mxgp top 10 and that's Dylan Wright.
Total top 10
Ama 12 or 40%
Mxgp 13 or 43 %
Non 5 or 16%

I think it's fair to say ama based riders finished higher then the average.
But local European riders will often be classes as an mxgp rider just coz of the easiness to race local mxgp races.

I guess Malin just want JS to act as a professional non bias announcer.

have to LOL - like the pot calling the kettle black . . . professional connotates super intelligent objectivity then you turn around and refer to World War 2 and the french war.

JT was fine in the booth. Why should he quench his patriotism? The other guy can barely hide his disdain for America

You don’t hear Malin stroking his own while going on about Team GB the whole moto do you?.

As a announcer your job is to talk about what’s happening on the track, not spew your love out for the team you are rooting for, No matter WHAT team that is.

If you can’t be non-bias while calling the race, don’t do it.

JT were much better last year in Italy.

It all sounded like bit of friendly banter to me. J T is passionate about two things -dirt bikes and his homeland so no problem with the over exuberance.as for Malin showing disdain, what a load of complete S..t , he’s just yanking JTs chain for the wind up.
