Really surprise I haven’t seen a thread on this yet however, I was extremely impressed with the synergy these two guys had. Macalpine really held his own with his knowledge of actual riding/racing and of what they were doing. His pure excitement along with Blair‘s made the war that was going on in that 450 main even that much more exciting. Very refreshing and I would really like to see these two do more together. One of the best combos I’ve heard in a long time.
What are your thoughts?
RC makes anyone look like a stud in that role. They did well.
Daniel was good. Can’t take more than 5 min of Jace
I thought they were great. Of course RC does make most others look good.
I concur, personality of a potato.

I was very impressed.
Jase is a fan and a rider; I enjoy his long form Gypsy podcasts too. I think he and Daniel did great.
Thumbs up from me. Jace really surprised me and Daniel is a pro. Great combo. Big upgrade from Jeff and Ralph I hate to say.
Great chemistry. Great job picking out some of the finer points of the track, approach, riding styles, line selection.
Excellent racing too which always helps. Could've watched it on mute and still would have been on the edge of my seat.
I thought they were both good.
Did Jeff and Ralph get canned?
I’d post my thought but will get downvoted to hell for not toeing the party line…
So I’ll just post this and get downvoted to hell anyway lol 😂
Spot on.
What happened to Fro? Was this scheduled for him not to be there the last 3 rounds?
Have difficulties listen to more than a few minutes of Jases podcast, but he did very well in the booth.
They were great as a team! I'd love to see them back.
Ralph ruins even a good commentators flow because of his terrible habit of hollering dumb shit and interrupting all the time (RC owns this as well).
To name some that iritate me.....big picture, clutch, the tow, lite the candles...
I thought Jase in particular did a great job, he has a natural ability to call these races. I was very impressed.
Put him in the booth for SX.
The way you can tell someone is a good announcer is if you can plug anyone in next to them and it still comes out ok.

I liked it. Was great. But I think a full season of that combo would probably get bad quick.. bring it on for the odd race imo
I'm not the biggest fan of Blair but something was clicking with those 2 together. The call during the racing was spectacular!
I’m not the biggest Gypsy Tales show fan but this race platform with Blair made them both better. It worked. I think Emig would be great with them as well as 3rd mic. Ralph just needs to be phased out quickly. 3 commentators that know it, as riders, are best. It’s all honest, rather than an outsider trying to relate. IMO
Best combo since Art Eckman and David Bailey!
Can we just get poor DB a box to stand on? Wow he looks short! They did a great job.
Their excitement was palpable, and the call was spot on. I thought they made a great combo and enjoyed hearing a fresh voice in the booth.
The TV production of the WSX races has been superior to what we see on Peacock. Easier to watch, natural flow...; cameras follow the leaders not some obscure battle; Kristen Beat is good. All in all a good experience for me with some good racing.
Jase was bad. "He just pulled a tear off!" I don't like his show either, so maybe I'm just a hater, but his announcing performance was terrible.
He doesn’t want to, I don’t think.
Quite a few people in here I suspect have a secret crush on Jase. lol.
Thankfully DB wasn't wearing the jacket he was in Sweden that made him look like a lil boy.
DB killed it, was awesome - Jace was jilted and a bit off in the 1st 2 motos, mid motos was def getting better and the final motos was doing awesome. Not quite killing, some room for improvement, but such a step up from Ralph and Emig personally
Anyone using the word 'synergy' is a twat.
But that was the best combo in WSX so far.
