As title states. Very little offered in the way of entertainment and racing. It was background noise while I cleaned. While I generally enjoy a good mudder this was not a good mudder. If teams were talking about a boycott then they should have just done it. Sometimes rain or shine equates to shit on a shingle.

So, the race was much like your post?

It had a lot of interesting elements: Davies drama, new first winners, including Deegan's first win. Roczen back with a passion. H Lawrence melt-down. Prado resurgence, It was a brutal race but I found it enjoyable to watch.

the vast majority of the field isn't there to win, just to finish 3 more races for the paycheck... this is particularly bad at the 1st rd because you can do poorly there and more than make up the pts at rd2 and 3...

It was a rain race. It’s all a part of racing. Even the Malcolm jump to landing on Jason…

It’s just racing.

Welcome to reality.

I’m jus’ sayin’…

leave the mudders to the great outdoors.

I found it boring not so much because it was a mud race, but just because of the SMX playoffs in general.

Still feels to me like a massive gimmick. Especially how for some reason you get more points in the next 2 races. Why arnt all 3 races the same amount of points? Just seems like manufactured drama so the last race always comes down to the wire.

 

Just my opinion.

Next track map looks terrible too, zero motocross features and no whoops, as expected. Just a money grab arena cross

I didn’t enjoy the race, I’m happy others did though.
