What did Prado have to prove by pushing the limit today?
How about Kay DeWolf career trajectory? Did he even win a moto in 2023? This guy is putting in the work and really raised his game

Fvck F1 you can’t find it much better then this 🥳
A fabulous event, it is a privilege to see so many high calibre riders and racing of such quality.
Always the best MX race of the year.
I hope Febvre is ok!

When you pass the mechanic pit board lane you turn right down the hill off that drop off then turn right again and there is a small double jump. Tricky corner before the double and rutty. Febre jumped into the face of the double and hit his chest on the handlebars. Big impact.
I just want to thank the Materley Basin "crew". The track was superb, real motocross.
I loved the broadcast and the combination of Malin and JT worked great. Lisa was not out of place either.
I'm not sure how much credit should go to the fim and Infront, but well done.
Being reported that he had an eye injury…

Some good stuff in here. Lewis with the best questions again.
Sounds like Prado was just empty and didn't have it in him today. Then a google issue last moto.
De Wolf leaving to the US next week to try SX.
Febvre came up short and couldn't breathe
Also De Wolf mentioning he showed he was the fastest 250 rider in the world. Prado mentioned Tim showed that the GP guys are the best in the world this year. This race clearly matters to them.
They did get the job done and did better than most expected.
Awesome result for both team Australia and team USA. Eli really showed what he is made of, Webb made the best of an imperfect situation, and Plessinger did better than expected as well. Considering Plessinger was beating Tomac at the last few nationals, yet Tomac crushed Plessinger's results at this race, did Eli heal more or get faster? Does the pressure of this race get to Plessinger? Does Plessinger take it a little less seriously then some?
The Hunter brothers were at the front of the pack all year long for the last 2 years. Jett comes off the couch and wins SMX. All they needed was one good ride from their 250 guy. What Tomac did was super hero stuff. Webb offering to ride a 250, there's a patriot. Pretty impressive finish by Team USA.
I'm happy for Oz and happy for us.
Just watched the highlites after riding today…looked awesome! Congratulations to the Aussies! And welll done by the USA ! A valiant effort for a last minute team…..
I don’t see anyone in the top 2 finishing teams who race the MXGP series. Not sure how or why Prado thinks the GP guys are the best in the world this year.
J. Lawrence, H. Lawrence, Webster, Tomac, Webb and Plessinger. Strange thing for him to say. Especially when you really only have these guys plus Roczen and Antsie in the entire field who race the American series. He seems to think because essentially everyone who races the MXGP series vs 7 guys is a good test? Bring over the top 10 from their series in both classes and have a race. Then compare who is better.
Congrats to Australia. There’s always next year to do better for the rest of the teams.
I guess he just meant Tim winning the two big motos. I don't think he counted how many guys from which series were on the line.
There's never going to be a fair comparison. You could also say it's not fair that the Netherlands with a population twice as high as NYC has to race countries with a much bigger talent pool to pick from. But it's not the united nations of europe.
I also wouldnt say Kay really proved to be the fastest. Coenen was clearly faster, just couldnt keep it on two wheels. Well neither could Kay but he managed to not get hurt.
going to record these epic MX of Nations on CBS sports network
I agree. I really like Prado and Gajser so it’s no knock on them. I do think they’re two of the best riders in the world. Between those two, the Lawrence bros, Tomac, Sexton and Herlings any of those guys could win on any given weekend. It was just a weird thing to say given the results today. It’s not like the guys who participate in the AMA series underperformed. I’d say they all performed pretty well. Even Enzo Lopes finished 11th in race 3.
Believe it or not I can't make it. We are moving my mom into her retirement facility that weekend of all weekends and there was no getting around it. Still may be like a 10% chance if everything worked out that I could blast down there last minute. You??
Pit Row
No, I'm not going. I don't know what the attendance is going to look like, but I saw that the hospitality suites are sold out.
IMO, they couldn't fill the stadium when RC, Reed, and Stewart were at their peak, so I don't think it'll be well attended, but who knows?
The only loser for team USA this weekend was Haiden Deegan.
Deegan and the fans that want to see the best go at it on the track. Cooper did great, but we had a little “what could have been.”
Yep. You would think between a healthy Sexton and Deegan choosing to go we could have made up 3 points somewhere on the day. When you look at the top 8 teams they were the best 3 riders from that country without a doubt. USA always has some shit excuse for not sending it’s very best 3. It’s getting old as fuck

Webster has some speed, maybe now they can see he should have a ride in Europe for 2025, 250 or preferably 450.
Ya I said if sexton was here too. Meaning instead of AP.
Webster is 28(?) - no chance of a 250 GP ride in Europe. There's that utterly ***ked '23 and You Are Out Rule' in the GPs.
And, that age makes it hard for a US ride, I'd say, even though they, Thankfully, don't have an "age class ruling".
He should be on a 450 regardless. The 250 was a one off for MXdN.
I just rewatched it and you’re right. Gajser def picked up on Jetts lines but ( I hate to say it) the lappers very much helped Gajser stay in touch. Jett ran into the lappers consistently at a bad spot causing him to take odd lines and make mistakes. But full credit to Gajser that last 1/2 lap was amazing.
I think this photo says it all 😆
Yes, he did what Webb is being lauded for (and, rightfully so, Webb stepped right up) and 'dropped down ' to a 250.
It's , perhaps, easier to get a start in 250s in the USA - the 1/2 season of SX being a somewhat 'gentler' way into the start of the US season(s).
Getting a 450 ride straight up, with good support, would be a hard ask.
I wonder what Yarrive Konksey (sp?) could do about it?
But then, Webby could be fully settled into a life here in OZ - I'm not sure if he's got a family and kids ?
I'm rather guilty of not paying that much attention to the OZ series. No Appin this year, didn't get to the - Maitland? - NSW Rd. Might not get to The Gong for SX either, unless my neighbours across the road go - I shout them tickets: they transport me. Melb SX / WSX - nope.
I just bought 2 tickets for the Darwin GP . Just the $150 3 day deal - though, might pay up for a more 'glitzy' set up, if / when they become available. 'She Who Must Be Obeyed', will want AC / Comfort in Darwin, I fear, though, she's had a good time in Indo / Europe for GPs, which I never expected would happen.
It's a bit doubtful I'll actually go - have to work OS , usually, that time of year, so will probably end up giving the tickets away. But, I feel the Need to support the event, even If I might not actually get there. I should be able to get to Indo GPs though - about the same cost / cheaper than getting to Darwin, and, I can do some work there / near there as well. 'SWMBO', loves Indo as well.
Thinking of going to Ironman MXdN, but, work interferes with it too. Trying to trade US work time in Feb / March, for Oct / Nov, but, it's not looking likely.
