Cause Americans are greedy bastards who only care about moneyEvil But really I think it's more that most of the Western world is interested in other countries and people, where Americans tend to be more internally focussed. MXdN is still my favourite race of the year. Looks like so much fun and excitement. And always good racing.

That's actually a really good point, hadn't thought of that. Though I do wonder about a guy like Goerke, where would he be in proper SX? Main event guy I'd think, but stretch for top tens. Would he be better offer depending on the purse and salary up here?

Yes, rockstar pulling out of cmrc nationals. No they're not starting their own series, they are sponsoring the one jetwerx is starting. Jetwerx already runs multiple series in Canada and the US. The 100k I'm a little fuzzy on, not 100% sure but I think it's the total purse for the 3 championships. But it also sounded like it could...

Overall the number of pro races is up I think, if you add all three together. Conx2sgare sounds like it will be back next year. And yeah the announcing is great, little creepy on the girls at times. But I don't know if they'd bail on the cmrc. Or if jetwerx might want new guys in for fresh blood.

Posted different shot, pretty small but you should be able to see it. I saw the Superrcross one first and thought maybe it was a trade mark thing. Then I saw motoRcross.

The wording they used was "staying with Conx2share" for the live production. As far as if/when that production ends up on TV, I seem to recall that being discussed in the original announcement but can't find it now.

Well I don't feel too bad for you as I can't "click on my tv" and watch any of those things live in Canada. But it's just as easy to "click on my computer" to do it. And it can be done from anywhere in the world. Maybe give that a shot and see how your couch likes it.

Go to the mxgptv site and pay $10 or $15, whatever it is they're charging. Speaking of which, though I don't necessarily think the riders should get paid, I don't think the teams should really be out of pocket either. At least maybe the top ten? If you make the A main your travel and expenses should be paid for...
