Is the only way to watch this on WSX TV?  Is the stream solid and able to watch as a replay?

FS1 on Sunday morning

"sure to create some epic carnage!" 

Wow, just wow....

Much like previous WSX events then with the first corner designed to be almost impossibly tight thus creating "chaos corner" with loads of "carnage" off the start.

Not exactly what you would expect from an "FIM World Championship".

What’s happened here? Not much of an explanation why Fro is stepping away, not a good look for WSX 

Fro didn't step away – he was clipped, as was Ralph.

Thanks Lewis, that’s a shame. I’m a Bailey fan and respect what he is trying to build but I’m not sure how clipping a commentary team mid season helps to build continuity in a fledgling series, already so heavily scrutinised. This move will do little to quell the jungle drums beating about the future. Hope the racing this weekend calms us all down a bit!

I could be interviewing Adam and the two (new) investors tomorrow. Any questions?

What's the plan for the future schedule, is it supposed to overlap with the series in the US or is the plan to run it during the off season from now on?

You have to be very cheeky to consider Vince Friese one of the best Supercross riders in the World, it is an offense to riders like Sexton, Tomac, Jett or even Ken, to consider that Vince is on the same level as those four I mentioned above. 

Cannot believe that is is what the World motorcycling federation considers to be the premier Supercross championship in the World🤦

Who decided 4ft high toughblocks in the inside of turn 1 was a good idea at Villa Park.

Good news is, Bozo's back!

Just thank them for taking SX to riders and supporters around the world, so now they can live and train at home with a dream. Please don’t overlap AMA sx events though.

What demographic are they targeting that they think will believe they have the best SX riders in the world competing?

They have Kenny, so it's a legit claim. Ken is one of the best in the world!

Max is one of the best in the world, even Dean is one of the best in the world....

Maybe Vince isn't but the 3 mentioned are.

How do they plan on keeping the same pay and team set up as a fall off season series with much fewer races than they initially promised? Or will we be seeing a different pay and team structure moving forward? Will the wild card rules be changed moving forward?

Not only did they have to cut Fro and Ralph to save money....they had to cut dirt....

This whole thing is beyond embarrassing.      Most of all the "carnage" smack talk.   This isn't going to bring in fans...if it brings in anything, it's the people that want to see crashes.

It sucks but there is no other stadiums. I was really looking forward to this but looks like it will just be an exhibition race. At least AusX will be better

Can you ask him what happened to Mubadala just so we can hear you try and pronounce it one last time?
