Any word on Team USA with Hymas out? Would be sooooo sick if Eli said F-it and went.

I wouldn't be shocked if they waited until tomorrow to make a decision, in case anyone gets hurt tonight.

Not gonna lie I’m a little nervous for this WMX session. I feel like it’s when the mini  are out there. A small handful of the top have the skills to handle it, but the bulk of the pack shouldn’t be out there.

Kayla Herrick looks so tiny on the bike. Ouch, Cannon cases the triple and goes down.

How the eff does Eli qualify behind AP7? I know he's retiring and this is his final race...but, JHC...Eli sb better than this. Hoping his last race goes better than this. Pulling for a win.

He said his injury at Pala was a wake up call and he’s no longer willing to race like he used to. Glad he’s making it out healthy!

AC is annoying AF.

He lost some credibility with me when he said that Webb and Deegan are both "Very professional".  He was 50% correct.

Too early in his broadcast career to be able to speak his mind...if they ever let these guys.  Gotta toe that company line.  I still dig him.

AC has become somewhat cringeworthy on some of the pods. Still one of the nicest dudes on the planet.

He lost some more credibility today when he said this is the greatest track he's ever seen since 1999. Grinning

Anstie better turn up tonight because it’s looking less and less likely that he’s going to get that big WSX paycheck.

He has potential to be one of the best guys in the booth.

He just needs to tone down the rider hype.

Not every 250 rider is the second coming.

And (while I know it's what RDL is all about) scrolling through, and singing the praises of, every rider in the 450's, while never seeing a hot lap ???
