are we going to see a bragging right battle tomorrow in Colorado? Lucas vs Prado, the battle of the 2 Euros at KTM. It's going to be interesting, for sure Prado will feel the pressure to outperform Coenen.

I think Prado will be feeling more pressure to score maximum points to get back into title contention. I don’t think he’ll be worried about sending any messages to Coenen.

Man I'm excited for a Lotte/Turner/Cannon battle, kinda wish we could see both motos or at least if the motos where longer than 12 min. 12 min for a pro race is kinda disrespectul

Excited to see, TV ruts might be challenging for Jett’s injury. Wish tomac and sexton were there and or back to their normal speed.

I'm really excited about Southwick where we get to see Weege do verbal contortions trying to figure out a way to pronounce VanMoosdijk. He wouldn't pronounce Koch's name right, but he had a bit of an out with the spelling. Roan's last name will be a little more difficult, I think.

Wondering about this a little bit, but his balance is exceptional so I think we will see a similar ride to last weekend.

Yea I’m certain he can adjust. 90% Jett is still blazing fast, 100% Jett is unstoppable.

That's even better!

Weege will just probably call him RVDM.

Can you confirm what I found? I think it sounds correct from what I've heard. I know I pronounced "ij" wrong for a long time 😅 

The Dutch motocross racer, Roan van de Moosdijk, is pronounced in Dutch as vahn duh MOSS-dayk (or more precisely, vahn duh MAWS-deyk).
Here is the breakdown by syllable:
  • van: Spelled exactly like the English word, often sounding closer to fahn or vun in quick Dutch speech.
  • de: Pronounced like the English word duh.
  • Moos: Pronounced exactly like the English word moss or maws.
  • dijk: Rhymes with bike or dike (the "ij" in Dutch is pronounced like a sharp "ay" or "eye" sound, and the "k" at the end is unvoiced).

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Just don't tell the Peacock boys, I really want to see them twist in the wind over it. 🤣

Prado is now banned from all press day functions, so Lucas has a day on him already.

I definitely think Prado will put pressure on himself to be the #1 KTM guy when Lucas is racing.
