Fake news until the Uptite(s) guys confirm

They aren’t short enough for him to hold a lead. That said triple crowns can be weird and you don’t need to win to win.

You could say ‘plays to chase’ but it seems more like they click on a comedy and personality level. Lewis doesn’t change his personality for each rider, which is why you get him calling the scoop Elis security blanket to the most powerful guy at KTM… And joking/pushing Eli in a similar way to chase. Eli isn’t on board, they don’t click, etc etc etc Lewis is one of if not the most consistent interviewers in terms of personality and the questions he asks. And we should fucking applaud that. He’s not trying to be a chameleon in order to...

Now that Lewis and Chase are doing job swap, he can have Chase interview Eli next 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Feld should allow 3 bikes due to the mud. But definitely wait until Thursday to announce it. 🤨

I mean I’m not sure I expected anything different. But you vitards are insane. All I’ve gathered from this thread is - all foreigners are bad, except for the ones that aren’t in America - if anyone wants to ask a rider a questions they must first show they have won a supercross main event. - people are truly offended by any journalist or reporter that isn’t nutriding every rider. - people are truly offended by any journalist or reporter nutriding any rider - talking about motocross is gay. - predictions are gay. - any tweet that isn’t a tweet...

You guys can hate on him all you want. I still think Lewis is a fantastic addition to this side of the pond.

Eli should wear his hat backwards next week just to send Vitards over a cliff. Maybe we can get all the riders to do the hat thing. Hat forward = Happy, backwards = not. Less need for reporters, and teams can see they need to work harder to get a forward hat. Funny thing is, I don’t think there is anything to the Chase hat backwards thing at all. Just he has always worn hats backwards some.

Vital MX: Nobody asks the tough questions, it's all a bro-down, there are no moto-journalists Also Vital MX: after Lewis asks the tough questions, he's emotionally unintelligent, a tool, a wanker, maybe even a Mathes

And then precede to crap on said journalist as a hack. Vital eats their own and never seems to be satisfied, yet wants the sport to grow. I like Lewis Phillips, and I don’t think he had any bad intentions on this one.

Vital complains that the media in this industry doesn’t report on slightly controversial or secret things because they don’t want to piss off their friends, yet when a media member does so they complain that he should have checked in with Eli first despite clearly having a source that (possibly incorrectly) gave him that information.

He’s been treated with kid gloves his entire career and now that the media and fans are asking what’s wrong he’s getting irritable, grumpy old man syndrome

i'm genuinely confused. I thought Lewis' interview with Ian was damn solid. and Ian explained that they chatted pre/post race and all is good, despite a crummy day. I don't get why Eli is all bent. It reeks of defensiveness.

Bingo. Im an Eli fan but you can’t play this “im not doing interviews and when I do I won’t say any details” routine and not expect the media to attempt at reading between the lines of what isn’t said. Lewis’ interview with Ian after the race was so professional. He respected Ian’s place by asking tough questions but not forcing him into a corner and I appreciated Ian’s honesty. Even though he felt comfortable on it and he was lightning fast in practice and the heat, Eli made a mistake picking the scoop tire for the main, plain and...

Exactly, be open about what’s been going on the last month or expect people to speculate on what’s going on and experience some “hack” reporting

As I said in the other Eli thread, chase and him need to get a beer together and commiserate. The parallels are so apparent. The tire and ride height is Chase's shock or triple clamps.... doesn't even matter what they run if their confidence in it is shot. Both won races early so the bike was good enough at that point, then both went searching for more and went backwards, and then both went back to where they started but both are still nowhere near where they were when they won earlier in the year. At least chase is admitting...

Oh god damn it! My bad! Brain fart. Prado for sure is in that lead group. Considering how good he's looked in sx? Wooooh boy, he's going to be a problem. Way off topic but I had the thought yesterday, how good would Prado be in sx if he had come over here at 18? How fast he's picked on sx without even riding a 250 indoors is wild

You're not high on Prado yet until you see it, huh? 😅

Almost getting Kenny? Let's be honest, he backed it off. I respect him for doing that, since Kenny is his friend, but he could have absolutely get 2nd yesterday if he passed Kenny early. He was definitely feeling it in the second half of the main, not what I expected after the heat race. Really good ride!
