Bench Racing | Hangtown National The Motos

Damn straight, why else would I choose to live in this climate?

We aren't paid career athletes who's job requirement is to perform in the elements.  This hurts the riders who train their ass off to outperform others in conditions such as this. 

Was it one of the mechanics? If so, I saw that as well.👀👀

Probably dropped the moto times because of California law.

I don’t think Tim Gajser would be getting smoked like Prado. 

What if it’s about safety? Last time they did this was the last round of 2022 and it felt like 500°, i was there that day.

Just a reminder that i believe the only cause of death ever to occur during a pro race was from heat stroke. It's fun to watch these guys suffer and test the limits of the human will and body, but there are real consequences for it also. 

No chance. Not Tim, Jeffrey, Cairoli. @ 24 all would be plug and play fighting for podiums out the gate. More sure on this with the latter 2 especially 

Go watch mxgps when tomac raced them. He wasn’t close. 

I'm sorry, but it's lame that Jett can't just say "yeah, didn't have the pace, I'll come back in moto 2 and try to improve". Acting like you "weren't trying" is lame and makes the whole race seem illegitimate. 

Dang Hymas cooked. 

What in the world happened to Hymas?

That’s what I want to know.

Glad we got 2 250 moto 1 recaps. 

Hangtown is my local track. Imho this dry heat has nothing on a humid and hot day at Red Bud

Hymas can’t handle the heat 

Have you ever raced in 100+ degree temperature?

They really don’t have a single flagger or track crew where thrasher went down? Come on man

Oh no they're all dropping out like flies, what the hell

Kobusch is obviously the man 

Lance 2.0  - what a great start!  His dad used to post on here years back.

No, I just wanted to mention that some riders are having better results in America than Europe. But I expected more from Prado...

Billy Payne out front?

Kobusch Waiving going up the hill in 1st!!   Love it!

Back in the day we ran 2 motos 45 minutes in the heat.  I 'am deeply offended that the AMA would shorten a moto in the middle of the day.  Pussy.

When the hell did motos stop being 30+2?!

Awesomeness from Kobusch there!!

The voices of reason.  No riders or teams are bitchin' about it.

JT takes the losses harder than Jett does. 

LOL
