Wsx Abu Dhabi thoughts ?

The level of disrespect Vince Friese has for the other riders is disgusting. Not only does he actively go out of his way to endanger the safety of other riders, he has the audacity to call other riders like Dean Wilson a "whiner" after the fact even when Dean did not whine but actually did his absolute best not to shit talk Friese by saying that at least Friese is "toughening him up"

Still going on.

Same here...thankfully I got to watch the last moto.

Why wasn't Friese penalized for not giving the position back?

Haha I getting WWE vibes with Friese talking. It was pretty funny with Joey and Dean sort of beating around the bush with what they really wanted to say on Air about Vince, but Vince just comes out and says exactly what he thinks, though clearly lives in a warped world where he does nothing wrong!

Would love to have heard what Joey was saying just before the Mic went live, looked like he was going off at Vince.

The build up is going to be great. The marketing with the “good guys” and the “villain” will be fun to watch. Better then AMA 1970’s “Saturday, Saturday, Saturday! Racers take the track to jump the triple and go for glory!” In the best moto announcer voice. 

Joey giving Vince a bit of a talking too...smartly covers his mouth with his glove, letting F bombs flow no doubt.

Cool seeing the riders interact post race. Dean and Sarah Wilson are so cool.

Bogle bro-ing down with Kenny. Theres gotta be a place for him in the industry when he hangs em up.

This entire production is a joke.  The leaders at the FIM have to be regretting their sanctioning of this sideshow fair race at best.  Even Malin and Langston seemed out of place.  How does Reed feel about this garbage?  

It's comical how poor this is.

Oh yeah, Friese is a complete ass as usual.

Series has potential.

 The “show” was better this time, just needed a better track and a few more good riders. Broadcast needs to fix the glitches.

Friese is a total dick but definitely adds drama.  Still rather he’s gone, too much of a safety hazard.

Get Webb in there next year for the old school rivalry with Kenny, Marvin Musquin, and a few MXGP guys that we wouldn’t see in AMA.

I just watched that live link and caught the last half of WSX race 3 and that was enough for me . That would make a great arenacross track for sure but it's far from world class level.  

Hope Kenny is OK. 

Yup, apart from a few big name riders this is nothing more than a glorified arena cross.

A little track shouldn't be a problem if you build it like 'the frencies', just saying. But the tracks aren't build properly, heats with 10 riders are ridiculous but yeah... they've chosen for 10 licensed teams. I've some questions about the original idea and their willingness to make changes?

Watching this now and I kinda feel bad for Malin/Langston. So much is going wrong they can barely keep up. Broadcast/track issues aside, the racing is at least entertaining to some degree. 

Friese is a fckn loser..he should go race AX full time..guy thinks hes a title threat in WSX..does he have any fans?

Paris SX in two weeks. Would be a bummer if not healthy for that event ! 

If I was someone like Ken who is the highest paid rider and star of the show, I would just say no way in hell am I racing if Vince Friese is there. He is obviously a safety hazard, and could ruin Ken's upcoming season with one of his dumbass moves. 

Unpopular opinion, but thank god for Friese, otherwise the racing would have been so boring! I'm not Friese fan at all, completely opposite, but Friese pass on Wilson was no way over the line, textbook SX pass that they are going to show in all the highlight reels

Also it's sad to see Wilson being so cautious, although i understand him, with all the injuries he has had, prime Wilson would had passed Friese in few corners, same goes for Roczen

The sport needs a villain. Friese does it well. Let’s just hope they can all contain themselves and not hurt each other. 

Best online comment I read today: "I'd really like to hear what Reed would have to say about that shit show if he wasn't paid to say it's great".

Pure gold.

This whole Reed & WSX relationship is funny at this point. I can only imagine how harsh he would be on them if he wouldn't be on the pay roll.

Great example that money rules. Considering that Chad is known for being one of the most outspoken and no fucks given type of guys in the whole industry.

absolutely, let's be honest, who would like to see racers being polite to each other and just riding circles, Friese seemed only one who was willing to let it rip, giving no fuc**

I cant lie I was expecting 0 passing and a complete trash race due to how small the track was, but the racing actually ended up being really good. I was definitely entertained from the start to finish. 
 

They really still have production issues, one of the races they were showing a replay when the gate was dropping. Also they still havent figured out how to do the podium celebrations its a bunch of ppl awkwardly trying to make it up on the spot and everybody is like do I here, no, over there, yes, no, who? They randomly had that honda guy added into the middle of the 250 podium between 2nd and 1st and that guy had no idea what to do. 
 

Anyways though it was better than expected tbh. I guess when your expectations are absolutely rock bottom its easier to be happy. I watched it free on youtube if I paid I may have had a worse opinion, but I was definitely entertained.

What happened to Colt Nichols? 

Oh yea and savatgy pussied out after he punted vince and vince cut back in front of him. He should have went and finished the job, but he was hanging way back. Once friese fell like 100 guys went by cuz the anchor was gone. Friese definitely adds to a series like this cuz the action kinda makes up for lack of talent, but since hes the villain ppl wanna see him get punted too! 

He's got a lot of work trying to make the Beta an SX bike.

He was on a Kawasaki. 

He's had years of the Alessi delusional fantasy program where an augmented reality gets cemented in your mind. Up is down, left is right, right is wrong, and don't question it.
