No idea. I can't remember if he posted it or if his wife posted it. Either way, podium. 😄

lol all good. I was race 1 and race 9, they called it after race 8 to let the 125’s spin some laps. They were cool but I’d of rather done my 2nd race. Didn’t drink all night for nothing 😆

Great looking bikes but a shocking lack of actual Ducati branding on the bike. 

It's barely even going to look like Barcia changed teams.

My hype is so high, I weep for those around me especially my wife because I can't shut up about A1.

Probably, but seriously lacking the sensory input, sights, sounds, smells and emotion of a hi-po 125 or 250 shifter kart.

I don't know what to think about that gear to be honest, the Fox zebra gear looked pretty cool but this ain't it 😂

It needs the right person, it’s pretty bold. Like Hanny wearing it would make sense but coming out of the wood works is tough. 

😃

I agree. Along that thought process, is Ryder D in that gear like Hepler in the Shift ads with Emig?

It fits 2 Ju's...but Ryder and his cheesy mustache? I don't know man. 🙃

Regarding the new tuff blocks.  All I see them doing is widening the race track and saving less injuries.  The square tuff blocks have saved tons of very serious injuries from providing "mattress" type landings and padding the heavy impact. These triangular shaped versions will do less of that.

I don’t disagree with this! Less area to land on isn’t always the best. Sure it’ll help when guys don’t snag them with their legs and legs but whose fault is that?

If they are anchored down I could see guys riding over them and banking off them as an advantage in some places on the track, something you weren't able to do with rectangular tuff blocks.  I would like to see the profile with a bike's tires up against the bottom to see if pegs could get caught on them while riding over the bottom edge.
