Just curious why every year JT has been a part of the announcing team for Mxdn. I don't mean that in a negative way at all, I think he does a good job just wondering why he is chosen 

I think Paul Malin has gotten nasty with most of the american accent anchors they tried to introduce. Maybe JT is the only tolerable guy

Man if RJ can just ride smart and keep it on 2 wheels we really do have a good shot at a podium. Some solid top 5 finishes and we will be alright.

"Man if RJ can ride smart and keep it on 2 wheels" is a pure, condensed capsule of his entire racing career.

Vialle got beat a few times by his young team mate, Vohland, in the states too. Goes to show, pro racing is pretty competitive and circumstances and situations matter almost as much as rider skill. Tomorrow's race will demonstrate this undoubtedly.

No need to throw a dart at Jett...  If you watched that moto, you know.  It was a 20 minute race, a 30 and he wins it with a 5 second lead.  Tomorrow we get to see Jett and Gajser and Febvre and Prado and Roczen go at it...  Add in Renaux in the last one too. 

I wish I could type Tomac and Sexton in there...  But it wasn't meant to be.

Still a great time to be a moto fan.

if you watch MXGP , you should know in a qualifier most settle in top 5 or 6 and finish the race and dont bother much about a spot or 2 ..its just a start grid position ...1 or 3 wont make much of a different on raceday with 30 minutes time .. reason why only Vlaanderen made up a lot of positions , he had a terrible start 

Not a chance Prado stays ahead of Jett.  And the qualifying position was up in the air in moto 1...  Prado would have tried.  Not to mention that now that points are paid in GP qualifiers, guys ride them with much more intensity than they used to.

That’s just good business, if danger boy came over here and got spanked by a euro kid the same age his social media reliant empire would collapse and he’d be cancelled.

I’m a Jett believer…but, Prado ain’t a joke. I’ve made the mistake in the past of under-rating the Euros. After several ass whooping on their turf…? I’ve learned my lesson. 

Things I’ve noticed…

Our riders were 4th fastest, as a team, when all 3 riders scores are considered. 
Quite a few US MX/SX series riders are at the MXoN representing many of the fastest countries…4 of the Top 6 teams.  
Riders like Vialle, The Lawrences & Roczen…go back to Europe and get right back to CRUSHING IT…which is a reminder to NOT let yourself be fooled into under-estimating the Europeans and the MXGP regulars.

Vialle's first year racinig USA was a HUGE success . . . no injuries and lots of experience! Passing Simon on the last lap gives us a glimpse of just how fast of a racer Tom is.

Team USA rode really well on Saturday and secured a great gate pick for Sunday; Mission accomplished for Saturday! I thought Christian had a perfect moto for his 1st race in months and months.

 

IF USA keeps up the good starts they could podium for sure

It is absolutely insane after seeing what we seen today to think a rider would bail out of this.  There’s no excuses.  It’s the pinnacle of the sport with the most fans and eyes on you. Shame on them and praise for RJ, Craig and AP.

What Haiden is doing this year is no different from what Gajser has to do most years. Just sit out of the event because his don't have teammates anywhere near the same quality and competency

No it wasn’t- the reply was about being surprised that many folks choose USA as a favorite to win. One reason being, many US folks saw last years MX2 world champ get consistently beat by a rookie..

I’m glad our guys seem to have the start down, that’s half the battle right there! Though the other half is staying upright, which they showed us might be difficult to do tomorrow! Grinning

I think they have a shot at the final podium spot but will need some luck on their side for sure! Excited for tomorrow regardless! Glad we have a team to root for and it’s hard not to feel the energy from the crowd and the home team. You don’t have to be French to appreciate that!

Ferris was unlucky to hit a slick spot but then lucky to get away with it.

If you go to the mxgp-tv site it should tell you what time the races are on in your time zone (You shouldn't need an account)

I watched the first two races but fell asleep before the open race.  Saw the results with Ferris in 33rd but I read somewhere he was running in 3/4 place before he crashed?  That’s encouraging if so.
