It was 100% looking like this would be the last National in Calgary with Wildrose being told 2026 would be there last year at the current location. 

In a twist no one saw coming, the City just told the club that they would now be able to operate until the end of 2027. Good chance we could see a National in Calgary in 2027.

If you're a fan of Canadian moto, you'll be happy to hear that Brian Koster is back in the booth this year. 

Now, they just need to get rid of Gauldy and bring back Travers.

What happened to Pettis in moto 2?

He laid it down going into a left-hand corner. Got back up, bike didn't want to start, or the front brake completely locked up and wouldn't release.

42 riders tried to qualify for the 250 class, 24 in the 450’s. Not a good reflection of the state of MX in Canada at the moment.

I hope for him that it’s a front brake issue because he’s had quite a few engine failure in a short timespan I think. Gopher, Issoudun and now this, plus some struggle at the practice track that I have seen.

I thought Boaz was supposed to be 450?

 

Just read back. He should be 450. But he'll do just as good in 250 no doubt.

Turns out when he laid it down a rider ran into the back of him and hit the kill switch causing damage.
