So Matthes is big in Spain, and David Hasselhoff is big in Germany. It all makes sense now

No consideration for the other guys listed who were not at MEC? And if you read my post properly, you would see that I don't have him in 15th all season. There's a massive difference from racing MEC to a real SX track. Whoops, rhythms are more technical ... more »

I love a good Europe vs USA fight as a Canadian. I think Tim had a great night in Vegas. He was better than I expected. Having said that, this was a weak field, and the track was relatively tame compared to a full on SX track. No whoops, no crazy rhythms ... more »

On last week's MX Vice podcast they all but confirmed him returning to MXGP on a Yamaha. I hope it goes well for Tom, seems like a nice kid. Shame he had to lose a season of his career to Supercross, when it probably was never in the cards for him to ... more »

Very good point. I had not considered that his ultimate plan with CBDMD might be way beyond 2-wheel racing.

I guess I'm left wondering if RC and Ralph watch the broadcasts the next day or next week? Because honestly if they do, and they continue to perform as they do now, then they are clearly there to have a couple of nice meals and collect a pay check every ... more »

In the post-race interview that Reed does with Matthes, he seems pretty OK with the deal. He says something along the lines of "if it brings money to the whole sport it's gotta be a good thing". I'm surprised to hear this, because this is definitely ... more »

While I think Jett is very talented and he is very entertaining, let's just back down the hype train here a bit. As impressive as his riding was on Saturday, let's go back to Austin Forkner who won MEC 2x on a Supermini and 1x in the All-stars, arguably ... more »

Word was that Tixier sustained a concussion, didn't read or see anything else.

Yeah Tomac had an awkward entry into the Joker when he took it and I think that was the difference. He did ride the fastest lap of the whole race on lap 10 but it wasn't enough, it just got him back level with AC. Either way, let's keep this all in perspective, ... more »

That was entertaining! Long wait to the first weekend in January.

Just realized I've got a nice 1 hour gap to have a snack and then watch the MotoGP class from Motegi. Solid Saturday night here! (my wife just went to bed in disgust).

I am not a doctor but I live with one. One of the big issues with a hip dislocation is the damage that happens when the hip is put back in. It requires a lot of force and often damages the labrum. Such shitty luck for Dean.

I guess he probably needs to ride a couple of Futures according to the rules, but didn't he just get a national title?? Kind of shows how ridiculous the SX Futures rules are.... EDIT: Just read Mav's post, thanks for clearing that up. Jett cleared for ... more »

I think after what we just watched FC Honda will have no choice but to line up Jett Lawrence in SX in 2020. If he's got the whoops figured out, the kid is ready to go.

Damn. I figured it had to be a broken hip, dislocated hip or mid-femur break based on that hit. I remember RJ saying his hip dislocation was by far and away the most painful injury he ever sustained. Get well soon Deano, we need your fun lovin' attitude ... more »

Two things: 1) I've been a career-long fan of Tomac, since his 243 days but a 450 SX title is going to be the unattainable. He just can't avoid the mistakes, even when things are 100% in control. That race was his, he could easily run down Friese. 2) ... more »

The same Yamaha tent that had a guy win A1 last year?? Stop making excuses with the bike. Even Webb admits he was not training hard enough or taking it seriously enough for the 450 class.

I'd love to see Jett Lawrence 2019 vs Austin Forkner 2015 at MEC. The Aussie lad looks GOOD.
