Glad I caught the pre-race show, I had no idea GT did JuJu-Jitsu. Learn something new every day.

🤥

I missed the beginning. No way they put that in there 😂😂😂😂😂

Hsu petered out in the end again. His mechanic better make sure to plug into the 220v outlet on the generator instead of the 110v to get a full charge for moto 3.

Because he is a head case and refuses to run the #1. He blamed the #1 and pressure of "defending" as a reason why his season following his supercross title was so rough too.

I remember him talking about not liking the number 1, but they still made him run it. They should make him run it here too, too bad. 

-Why do they keep cutting off daniel blair mid sentence to go to commercial lol, keeps happening. Are they not telling them in their ear how long till commercial and instead just cutting away regardless of whats going on and just going to commercial. 

I noticed when they came back the lady was mid sentence too, so it looks like they have everyone just doing the show as regular all night and then just going to commercial and back without anyone knowing. Interesting game plan.

RC must have a hand in the production to cut off DB like he's always done 😆

They just cut him off again for commercial 🤣. 
 

… and then came back in mid interview


I’m enjoying the show and racing, but the small stuff like this was supposed to be fixed by now. Theyre still having these year 1 type issues and its the 5th year now. The bread and butter basic production stuff theyre still messing up the same as they have every year. I was expecting all this to be cleaned up by now. Man… I really want this series to succeed, but I cant lie seeing the same sloppy production issues theyve always had is disappointing.

Not sure if I should be surprised or not with Anderson’s performance.

When I think about it maybe since theyre in another country and I’m sure its playing on all kinds of different apps in different countries if its just easiest for them just to do the full show and the different apps just add their own commercials whenever. I’m sure the paid version doesnt have these same commercials as plex? So they need to find somewhere to put them? Idk thats what comes to mind. 

Either way good racing so far.

You can definitely tell Mitch Harrison is pumped! From battling for top 20's to leading laps against some heavy hitters, he is riding well. Sucks he got together with Hill but she/it happens.

I'm watching this for free on Fuel TV/Roku. That's more than I can say for U.S. supercross series..... I'll deal with the cutoff commentators if watching doesn't cost me money. All I care about is having the racing on screen. Would love to see more track closeups though. I haven't seen any good angles of the ruts on the faces of the jumps.

Same, yea I agree with that. Its more just out of wanting to ensure the series survives.

Mechanic looking for a laptop.

Entire tuff-block sucked up into the bike as opposed to a cover.

Two WSX firsts! 😂

The empty cardboard boxes look to have been replaced by that hunk of foam stuck in Simonsons rear wheel.

I wonder if those Starks give you a heads up that they are about to stop before they die, or do they just shut off when something is wrong. A regular bike will tighten up, bog, stutter, and usually give you some idea its about to die. Seems like Starks would be less likely to give you a heads up and that's terrifying.

I don't think I've ever seen a tuff block get torn up like that.

If they have future WSX rounds at elevation will they have to derate the power of the Starks to match the HP loss that every other bike experiences?

They have a screen on the bars so theyd be able to give you whatever info they can.
