I don't understand the relentless hate towards RC in the booth he does fine, he has a lot of knowledge and talks good enough for the amount of attention I'm paying to the commentary are you guys just doing audio only for the races or something where you need impeccable color commentary? 

If you do the math we are paying $2.35 to watch per supercross race so lets relax.

The bottom line is that he is the greatest Motocross racer of all time but as a commentator he's just not very good and does not seem to improve. I would much rather be the GOAT than a less than average commentator. I don't think any kid ever grew up dreaming they wanted to be the best mx commentator, they all dream about being the best MX/SX rider.

His job isn’t really to be the best commentator that’s Weege or Diffeys job, his job is to provide insight from someone who’s done it at the highest level.

I’m sure NBC can pull an announcer you’ve never heard of from tennis or something that speaks and comes up with words perfectly in real time is that what you guys want?

The problem with RC is that he provides very bad insight. Most of his takes are generic and on auto-repeat. James actually comes up with interesting takes on the race and provides insight into the intricacies of the race and of the sport.  As do JT and AC. I could put up with RC's regular massacres of the English language if he brought any real colour commentary to the broadcast.

Time to get rid of Daved Lee the sx voice.  And bring in a Much More Erotic Smooth and Sensual voice.  I,ll hv the lady’s grabbing a speaker & holding it there hot bodies . To feel that voice penetrate there bodies & tingle there spine head to there cute little toes. They’ll be in such a deep enthuria that they,ll all go out & buy 125,s the next day.  Then fill the mx tracks in America & The World with Hsppiness & Joy.  Then the tallest sign of Freedom shall Rise again.

Thank you, and if RC said about 1/3 of the stuff he says he would improve greatly.

I don't know... RC should have attended the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too.

Dan Hubbard is out for RDL. AC taking his spot.

The 2025 SMX commentary team will consist of Leigh Diffey and Jason Weigandt as play-by-play, 15-time AMA champion Ricky Carmichael and five-time AMA champion James Stewart as analysts and Will Christien and former veteran racer Jason Thomas as reporters.

Race Day Live will cover all regular and postseason races of the SMX World Championship Series exclusively on Peacock. Former racers Justin Brayton and Adam Cianciarulo will serve as hosts of the pre-race program while Steven “Lurch” Scott and Haley Shanley join as reporters.

Leigh Diffey sucks big time.

SMX playoffs has brought an increased purse. Along with a better TV package for us international guys


Adding Spanish last year and French this year is undoubtably a large expense for Feld.  great for fans and will do a small part for helping grow the sport


The $250 CAD fee blows tho.  Fix that
