DC, Was there ever travel allowances? I know Australia do it super cheap with this years team. Dixon charges a real good rate for loaning a bike out to one of their riders. Team USA does come with some extra baggage or not? I mean that podium must have some serious steel to hold up all the "winners" hahahaha. Geoff

You can better ask the teams mate, I am just a fan. You blame YS for the teams signing riders who bring money? Madness!!!!! And just to keep you informed, I never write about the figures of an event, or very rarely.

And how many went home empty handed?

Sure mate, have a safe trip. Matti doesn't even know if he is going to the MXoN, 70euro too much for a days entertainment. Wonder if Mattie has been to a football match (which lasts less than two hours), or a concert (also about 2 hours worth) or any other sporting events. He might find out pretty quickly how cheap...

Hey, don't forget my e-magazine Motocross Illustrated!!!!! No mate, no trip to Germany for me. See you in Lommel!!! Geoff

It's 2pm here...........and I do sleep and slept great last night, thanks very much!!

You would need to talk to the teams about the riders racing GP for money. It's been happening for 20 or more years. It's nothing YS have to do with. I look at that list and see Seb Pourcel in 15th place and everyone above him a possible podium finisher or GP winner. Negative people look at the negatvies and...

If the comments are made from people who know what they are talking about I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately many people who are negative hardly visit the GPs and don't even know what riders are earning or what promoters are earning. Circuits like Valkenswaard, Teutchenthal, St Jean d'Angely, Kegums, Uddevalla, Sevlievo, Loket, Lierop and more continue to be involved in...

Wow, not sure off the top of my head. I mean the set-up is pretty impressive. We are visiting some pretty awesome circuits, despite what many people might say. The actual proffesional side of the sport is impressive. I would like to see the team find more budget from the factories or bigger sponsors, but they need to work on...

To say that there are 5 of the best and 35 who are just paying to race is really showing a lot of disrespect to a lot of very good racers. I would think more like 25 of the best in Europe and 15 who are maybe lucky to be there. Look at the top 30 in the MX1 points...

I can't agree, I mean riders have been paying to be involved in the GP series for years, probably 20 years to be correct. I know of players paying to race the GPs all the way back in the early 1990s. The MX1 class is stronger than ever, it's our premier class. I"ve spoken to a lot of guys who...

By the way, the recession has now hit in Australia, maybe you need to ask the Aussie riders what has happened to their salaries, or maybe the American riders after the huge recession in America. It isn't Youthstreams fault teams and sponsored are all struggling outside of Europe, but the recessions. Same story in Europe.

I don't have to pay for any race I go to, be it in Europe, America, or whatever, that is my good luck. I am not trying to work out your problem, if the sports sucks so much find something else to follow. Clowns riding around, which end of the race do you watch, Cairoli, Herlings and Searle or those...

Thanks for that 500guy. Not only that, but I like Mr. Luongo a lot. I like many things what he has done for the GPs. You won't meet a more loyal man than Giuseppe Luongo and I have huge respect for him. Do I care if people think I am an ass crawler, not even a little bit. I am...

First my friend, YS don't pay for the air tickets to races and I didn't even go to Mexico this year or Brazil. Last year I went to America, but not Brazil. Secondly, I work for myself, do some work for the YS website, just like I do work for so many other clients. I am always postive, a reason...

By the way knob-head. I took my kids and we stood in the crowd watching the racing. I didn't even go in the press room.

Wow, you got to talk to some riders, well done...................Still you won't be man enough to say this stuff to my face, I can be sure you won't have the balls to actually talk to somebody like this face to face. Go away little man and play with your toys.

Will that also be the first race with Villopoto and Wilson in the team..............................LOL

DC, Man, I never usually make type errors......................hahahaha!!!!! Yep, see you in Lommel. Looks like rain, so I hope that changes quickly. Have a safe trip. Geoff

people can say what they want about Luongo and Coombs, but have their hearts in the right place and love this sport.
