MXoN - Sunday: Races

American fans are good at bashing American riders.

Because he crashed 3 times in one moto and cost the US 5 points. We don't do participation trophies in MX. 

Yeah but idk if FIM allows riders to manage the team or comment the broadcast while racing on track... so that unfortunatelly dsq musquin and paulin... but hey, it's not all lost.

RJ is out busting his butt for the team so I won’t complain. It comes down to the need to send the very best riders if you want to compete for the overall. 

Very true. Huge pressure probably more than any other race and  riders pushing the edge does cause  unusual incidences.

Wtf is it with ”insert any riders name”-fan usernames and being total twats?!

We had a good shot at the win when RJ was in 2nd.  Now we need quite a bit of help.

Aus look good, but with a couple of good starts Team USA could bring this home. Team USA drop scores are better than Team Australia 

Track is amazing. Our AMA riders can't ride ruts!

This track is an absolute nightmare for tire selection.  

The MX14 was made to try and compete with the excellent Pirelli MX32 Soft. 

Looking back when Euros were using that tire on soft tracks against guys running MX33s we can see what an advantage that was. 

Pirelli now has a more intermediate scoop (MX32 mid soft). I’ll bet thePirelli guys use that in the last moto. I’m sure some will still use the MX14, but that can’t be ideal after the start.

Quit the hate for RJ, just look at Belgium and Oz throwing away rides and having to count a 20 and a 13 respectively 

Sascha costs a podium place for Belgian,damn!

Don’t forget that Hunter Lawrence crashed twice also. It’s not just RJ who crashed.  Many many crashes today.

He also got up 3 times... there are guys who fall once and shit the bed. He still rode his heart out. 

USA might not win but if both Lawrences score top3 in moto3 it doesn't really matter anyway.

Lots of crazy stuff going on. Good day to be a race fan!

I’m just glad I found a free stream. I didn’t wanna pay nuffin’ to watch them races. Saved myself a few bones!

Sascha does Sascha things unfortunatelly... i still thought he could crack top15 in second moto after the crash...

I'm surprised at Hunters crashes. This is probably more than he has crashed in his last 5 races. RJ leaving it all out there. The boy is all heart.

Yeah that's hard to beat

Imagine being Everts, getting passed by RJ 3x in one race. 

Pretty sure there is something wrong with the bike still. Bummer

Incredible ride from Jan Pancar, a true privateer, he literally shows up racing towing a box trailer with a bike and his kit, Dad does the spanners and Mum does the pit board, and he actually led a Moto 😊

Ya exactly. Gave it his all, got caught. 

Hunter crashed the same amount of times by pushing and just got lucky he didn’t end up on the ground. 

Imagine being RJ, getting smoked on your home soil by a privateer guy you're never heard of

It’s a tough ask when AUS is healthy and they have the best rider in the world and maybe 2nd best?  ….and Webster is solid.  Any country wanting to challenge them needs their 3 best riders healthy.  

MX2 + OPEN

Just the usual clowns piling on RJ . On to the final moto . 

Since anything can happen in this race I’m not willing to throw in the towel until the checkered flag flies on the third moto. Having said that it’s hard to feel bad about possibly being bested by a team with two brothers that have as much speed and class as team Australia does.

What are the chances we could see Shimoda on Kawi next year? Or do we think HRC already locked him up? Cause according to JT he hasn't signed anything yet. He looks amazing on the 450
