6/15/2026 2:54am Prado best starter ever might have to hand that over to Jett soon. Underestimated how good Jett is off the gate.

6/15/2026 2:53am Where do you get that from? He was catching Deegs late in the moto before his bike blew up. You don't do that with poor stamina. Running 2.07 with 4 laps to go when his fastest was 2.05. It will be same as in SX. If a win or good starts put him in position to do good, he will...
aees Added a reply to WMX - need to do better
6/14/2026 2:55pm Needs to be 20+2. It's fun to watch but it's a bad look giving them triple crown moto length. Let's hope they evolve this until next year.

6/12/2026 6:49am Southwick with harder base is very similar to Kegums they just raced on. This year it was dry so even harder. I think Coenens bikes will feel maybe some down on power but they also get away from lower noise regulation and fuel in US also makes more power. So all in all, maybe not as big difference as for...

6/11/2026 1:39pm I can't see the AMA 250 riders touching Sacha on southwick. There is no other rider who rides at 100% pretty much all the time. For good and for bad. Not even Deegan on the 250. And on sand? 😂

6/10/2026 2:25pm But Jett is back riding at 100% of his pace, isn't he? Both tracks so far has been pretty ugly beaten down. Southwick could be special when he needs to hang of the bike more but this weekend should be ok. The gap in lap times and win margin is identical to last year so if he has more in...

6/10/2026 3:32am Exactly. Ian just said the difference between Coenen bike is fuel and sound. I think only time they go to works bike today in MXGP, is to test new models or when there is a specific problem they try to solve. Also think it is budget related. You have 4-5 guys specialized on various parts of the bike for every...

6/9/2026 4:37pm Pretty clear that when there is nothing or a lot on the line, riders tend to play it safe more than not. That's why third race in triple crowns is a snoozer more often than not. Or Gajser put it on auto pilot taking top 10 to save the Championship. Or Tomac let Herlings go without a fight. And please...

6/9/2026 2:16pm Ian has already stated that fuel and sound is the difference, bikes are same. So he will gain power with fuel and sound regulation, but lose with altitude. So maybe not as big difference since everyone else has to deal with it as well. Can maybe mess with starts more than anything?

6/9/2026 2:12pm Look, you already stated that riders mentality change when they have a big lead. Of course, you also think that is absolutely not the same thing as backing off and doing only what is needed to secure a Championship, leading to less racing. Congratulations, you managed to eat the cookie and keep it. Very few is gifted with that talent...
GPS Liked a reply to forum topic Opinions on lower height Husky vs regular height KTM

I didn't notice a difference. I'm assuming all the bikes were set to stock but no idea what the clickers were. I can't say Cahuilla vet/main are the best tracks to compare all the bikes but I still feel confident I wouldn't be able to tell a difference. I could also be a shit test rider 😅

aees Added a reply to Chase sexton ghost ride bike in kawi pits hitting Marchbanks
6/9/2026 10:10am We are talking 2.5 sec a lap currently. I have said it the whole SX season, chase is about 1-1.5sec off his normal pace. Seems to be more for MX since he could run Jetts pace on the KTM.

6/9/2026 10:02am Did you notice a big difference in valving? KTM really fast rebound in rear but softer to compensate?

6/9/2026 10:00am According to some in the thread about throw-away races, real racers always race to win and they will not back off which anyone with some kind of common sense seems to think 😄

6/9/2026 2:41am If it was just Hunter or Jett, still alive. Jett maybe some effects from his injury prevents him from completing the series. A DNF for one of them. But the chances of something happening to Jett, Hunter and Deegan? AMA has some life in it with 3 still "in it". But MXGP is dead unless Coenen gets a small injury...
aees Added a reply to WMX...does anyone know how fast these girls are?
6/8/2026 4:53pm The WMX series in MXGP is more fun to follow than EMX.

6/8/2026 4:46pm Pressed submit to soon. I agree that making the long series shorter, and short ones longer maybe also adds so that at least something new is coming every 3 month or so if you blown out early. MXGP is ruthless if you miss races early.

6/8/2026 4:43pm I think the biggest negative impact would of course be that the championship can be awarded earlier. But I'll take that over season excitement being over after 1/4 of the races being done. I don't think anyone would skip races, because until the last race you don't know if you would need that mulligan. Local races I agree, they take...

6/8/2026 3:56pm You obviously missed that Herlings DNF yesterday. Before that it was basically a wash due to mutual DNFs. C'mon.

6/8/2026 3:21pm Beating industry records for sure is a motivator outside Championship. Some that has few or no win during season can also be it. Jcoop, AP will fight to some extent for a win. But it will not be Championship effort. Basically as in Nascar "I will put my foot down until I see God or pass the finish line", requires...
