All

Most of us don’t have a problem with the SMX tracks or the racing that is provided. But we have a problem with the fake hype that we get shoved down our throats the whole year by Weege and RC. You know the crap with the ”most prestigious title in the world” the race that was invented and before one race even was held it got a world championship status, I mean you can’t make that shit up. I promise that I heard Weege, RC and JT say the phrase ”SMX World Champion” like 50 times during the broadcast before...

NBA playoffs dont cancel the 2nd half, NFL Superbowl doesnt cancel the 2nd half, World Series doesnt stop at the 4th inning. Rain delay should be factored in for outdoor events "of this magnitude." It's not a playoff, it's just a 3 race mini series that was likely put together when WSX was being thrown around in the pits. If I sponsored a team I would be extremely disappointed if I didnt get the broadcast and advertisement time I was counting on for ROI.

SMX is a fucking joke

I was pumped to watch the racing today and thought the track was an awesome layout. But I dont know how you legitimize a race where you only get one moto because they chose an outdoor venue with no lights and a track that was considered too dangerous to race if rained. There's $1.5m on the line and they just cancel half the event. I understand there were weather circumstances but this just seems extremely amateur.

100% they been hyping up this shit all year and they been at the motor speedway since Thursday but can’t run two sets of moto on Sunday?. Makes zero sense this is a joke of a series but they say they are giving away millions. Fans paid so much money to camp and be there for the day but can’t even promise a second moto.

Yes, it is embarrassing.... 🤣 Lightning is the excuse.

I’ll never forget Zach Bell’s crash in Arlington. I was in the stands. We thought he was dead.

No, like all sporting professionals, you have to manage the work load throughout the year.

A lot of these top guys aren’t really even fans of moto anymore. When it becomes your job it really sucks the fun and fandom out of it

Thats correct Prado is playing a game and trying to avoid accountability and responsibility for his own decisions and behaviour. He's trying to get out with zero consequences. I can understand Kawi standing firm. Prado comes in, gets paid the big bucks to do so, disrespects them, puts in no effort, then just wants outs hands clean, leaving a wake of distruction in the rear view mirror? Tarnishing kawis reputation. No accountability. Yeah na that ain't cool.

You claimed earlier he’s simply overwhelmed by the speed and field of riders here. Anyone who watches MXGP knows he is not riding anywhere close to how he did over there. You seem to think this version of Prado is who he is. It’s just an ignorant view point is all. Maybe you should watch MXGP. The racing is really good and the 2nd motos are on CBS Sports every weekend they race.

I don't think you mentioned wether you will be buying used or brand new. But when you enter the sport the bike characteristics doesn't really matter that much, just get the freshest possible bike with the least amount of potential issues. If you want to buy brand new, buy the cheapest one you can find. It will most likely be a RM-Z or a KX. I would go with the KX. If you're buying used, get one with low hours.

I heard that the term "whoops" originates from Montgomery Whoops, who was an English sea captain in the 18th century or something like that. The story goes that when sailing back to England after the battle of Copenhagen, he came across a fleet of 4 Cornish fishing boats. Mistaking them for danish boats, his ship opened fire and sunk four vessels. According to oral history, this happened since his fleet mistook the Cornish flag for the Danish flag. The incident led to his dismissal from his post. This led to the origination of the term “whoops” in the English language...

Original release is available here : https://www.pierermobility.com/en/newsroom/eqsfeed/810899011?type=adhoc In short they confirm what they had already announced months ago, the end of Husky and Gasgas bicycles (no word on Felt bicycles?), should have been done earlier since bicycles were responsible for most of their deficit. BTW last year electric bicycles were 53% of sales while it's now 90%, inventory is going down, they've reduced their operating loss by about €100M, good riddance. Confirmation of MV Agusta sale and a bit of good news, they appear to have found a buyer for Xbow. They've sold 42% less motorcycles compared to last year...

Prado doesn't care about MXoN. Especially this year.
