Mit12 Added a reply to We're not going unless we're sure we can win...
8/25/2026 11:46am The same people that are complaining are the ones that criticize the riders when they don’t win. I wish Star Yamaha would give us an idea of how much it cost to send a rider and team to the MXoN. I would bet we would be looking at about $250K for the first rider and probably another $50K for the...

8/23/2026 10:48am Its not about which rider can win, its about risk vs reward. I know you think there is no way Deegan can win or Cooper but if they get hurt they have no chance and for what bragging rights? Why don't you pay for a ticket and fly acrost the country pay for your meals and stay than do your...

8/22/2026 7:18pm Deegan got penalized in the first round as did others. The problem is with inconsistency not the rules.
Mit12 Started a new thread Start straight layout
8/22/2026 7:05pm The AMA needs to make a rule stating that the start straight cannot narrow until at least 3/4 the length to the first turn and that can only happen on the outside of the start straight. Having the gate narrow on the inside always causes problems that don't need to happen. The start is dangerous already we don’t need to...

8/22/2026 6:49pm My problem with the call is Kitchen gets a 4 position penalty and Moseman who did the same exact thing on the outside got docked 3 positions. Yes Kitchen got the hole shot but Moseman gained a ton of positions also. I get Jett only getting penalized series points as he did not gain an advantage because he came back...

8/22/2026 6:38pm That is exactly what I am talking about. A 450 rider that has the ability to win the SX championship stands to loose over 2 million dollars if they get injured. The 250 rider has the opportunity to ride the east coast so that is not a deal breaker.

It's worse than free....most go in the hole and it costs them money to go...and let's not forget about the injury clauses in every contract so if they do get injured they don't get paid....but yeah lets do it for pride hell yes!

8/22/2026 8:26am I get it, I have watched riders go and represent team USA for 40 years. The riders are doing a job and getting paid to do that job. It is not in there contracts that they have to race if selected to the team and they do not get paid for racing. Ask your self, my country wants you to...
Mit12 Added a reply to Deegan bike setup
8/20/2026 10:51am The big issue here is Deegan ran his mouth leading up to the out door season, in saying that…. We all have opinions based on our experience. Let’s be real, how many of us have rode the pace of Deegan on a 450 with the power of Deegans bike? The more horse power you have and use the harder it...

8/20/2026 10:35am Every one has their opinion here is my opinion. We will continue to have this problem until the teams put it into the riders contracts that MXoN is mandatory if selected. In saying this riders need to be given pay just like a SX race win and some kind of winning bonus. The risk vs reward needs to be the...

8/13/2026 10:40am I like the races hate the points structure.
Mit12 Added a reply to Yeah the Lawrence brothers are fast but Factory 450 Hondas are fast too!
7/19/2026 8:08pm The difference between the Honda and the Yamaha is 100% the riders. Jett and Hunter ride way smoother and are in a higher gear than Deegan. Although Deegan and the Lawerence's are all great riders in there own ways, Some have a little more in different parts of their game.
I miss the days of riders being assigned a number based upon points earned. At the same time...career numbers are pretty cool and very marketable for riders, so I get that. But single digit numbers for 250 class riders is bogus!

7/14/2026 4:42pm Someone at KTM needs to have a talk with Sacha, the kid crasher way too much! If he keeps this he is going to have a very short career and a very painful life to look forward to. The kid is incredible such talent and no one can say he is not tough or committed he just needs to tone...
Mit12 Added a reply to Sacha is RC reborn
7/13/2026 10:43pm RC did not act like a human lawn dart! That kid crashes almost every race. He will not last long if he doesn’t clean it up a little. Speed is not a problem for him it is knowing how to controll it.
Mit12 Added a reply to Never ever have I seen this narrative from moto media
7/12/2026 10:43am The media is not talking about points, they are talking about how much closer to the top two Deegan is finishing. He has taken a gap of over 30 seconds down to 10 seconds at the end of the motos. When he gets the gap closer we will see if the Lawerances can up the pace more. Time will tell.

He’s the fastest 250 rider in the world right now. He’s a sand specialist and most guys in the nationals aren’t. He was going way faster than he needed to and wadded himself. Anyone, who’s got close enough speed, going up against Sasha over the course of a championship would back themselves that eventually he take himself out.

7/12/2026 10:02am The goal of the riders are go win the championship. The guy riding in the lead has is not racing this series therefore no reason to push to stay with him. He was fast real fast but it doesn’t matter all second has to do is beat third. The second moto Davies showed he could hang with Coenen after he...
Mit12 Added a reply to Youtube Short on Jett&Hunter p*ssed
7/8/2026 10:53am Jett has been getting hurt a lot. He finally has a injury that has changed his ability to ride the way he likes to ride. I hope his foot recovers 100% and he can return to his normal riding. One thing for sure he needs to find a way to stay healthy.
