 I’m not sure so many people get hung up on the branding and how it’s promoted. That’s what they’re paid to do. I wish it wasn’t a mudder but still excited to watch some racing today! Not crying over spilled milk over here.  

Everyone else is complaining. Nobody is forcing them to watch this race.

Have they abandoned the hybrid track idea? This is just a muddy sx.

The drag strip courses at least had some outdoor elements.

Davies is SO good man. These other guys look like B practice in comparison in these conditions. He's gonna lap shimoda at this pace

For real. The first year was by far the best with a hybrid, outdoor, and supercross. They really don’t do anything to make the SMX races special. Just feels like another race. Still think they need a format that eliminates people.

Good thing for Davies looking forward, The rest of the field is wildly inconsistent.

Chicagoland and Charlotte were the only tracks that were exciting and represented a hybrid with actual outdoor style sections + elevation change.

With seeding points he probably still has a shot for the title even with zero scored this moto. The rest of the class are far from consistent.

Not saying he CAN’T win but he has only finished on the podium in 1 of his last 11 attempts in SMX. I wouldn’t bet $5 on it, let alone my home.
