Also too add to it there is no blood testing anymore. I would assume some guys are on thr sauce and some aren't. Or some are atleast getting topped up.

We need 4 less SX races a year. Keep outdoors as is. 31 race weekends is way too much IMO. 

This 💯 the SX season drags out way too long in my opinion, I get bored after about the 14th round.

Today we saw the proof of concept to the idea that riders are overtraining.  Jeremy Martin put his soul into the ‘last career moto’ and beat everyone.  To me this shows winning truly does take confidence, willpower, and heart.

Thanks for the spoiler alert

You can figure out how to create an account on Vital, login and type a sentence, but that last piece of the puzzle that there might be race results on an MX forum eludes you.

I'm rooting for you buddy.

My fault. I wasn’t actually logged in. I had stuff going on this afternoon with plans to watch the replay tonight. I had commented in this thread earlier and didn’t turn off the notifications so they popped up in email. I sent the reply right after I saw it but I should have turned off the email stuff earlier. My bad, sorry for the snarky comment.

There’s no real off season. How many races are they doing a year between MX and SX? Add in the training and it is just too much. I will gladly sit down and watch the races and enjoy watching year round but they are overworking these guys. 

For some maybe, but some riders sign up for off season races and say it helps with being prepared for A1

Im surprised though that at this stage of their career they’re getting it wrong. 

If TdF trainers and riders can get it right for 21 days straight, why can’t our riders & trainers get it right when they’ve got 7 days between race days? 

Moto guys are not training even close to the levels of pro cyclists
