About Me

I used to ride but had to quit some 8 yearsago when i hurtmy knee pretty bad. I started working with mx back then insted, and still do this running my own company.

I love 2strokes, prefere motocross over sx, so I'm pretty oldschool i guess.

My favourite riders are Mickael Pichon and Christophe Pourcel.

I'm 33years old, married, two kids and not enough time/money to buy a bike just for fun.

BTW... I think 4strokes are the root to all things evil in our sport. They are expensive, sound ugly, makes the racing less demanding etc. I could go on 4ever. I hate them...

I really liked the track from following it through tv. It was oldschool, and I am old. I even liked Montevarchi for the same reasons. I can understand the use of woodchip, but I do hate the ruts it creates. It’s an art to ride quick through deep choppy ruts but it doesn’t promoto creativity with lines, which I often...

For a place that hasnt seen rain in months, it was bang on, no slop as such and only minimal dust at the end. Ben Watson said that he felt there was too much bark in it, but without that you would never have kept ant moisture in it. They did a lot of work, and it showed, new lease of life for the place IMO, already confirmed for next year , apparently. It wasnt mad busy saturday but very bust today , took 10 mins to get out of General camping, traffic management was as good as it can...

Every time I watch this EMX 125 class, or even the 125 class in the British championship, I'm left even more confused that the AMA pro nationals haven't followed suit yet. Great racing for spectators, a perfect introduction to professional tracks and formats for youngsters, perfect development that forces riders to maintain their momentum and use proper technique, and way safer than jumping straight from 85s/superminis to rocket ship 250s. And all with the added benefit of 125s sounding better than any 4 stroke ever will

Did not see that coming and dont understand it for both parties. Mclellan would be a title candidate, why not use that last year in mx2?

Cairoli either crashed or had a bike problem, Haarup didn't start the moto after being hit/run over by Marchbanks in the 1st moto. Had to have hurt something good, he immediately took his helmet off crawling off the track.

I’ll be tuning into MXGP for the first time this weekend to watch the Coenen brothers . I became a big fan after seeing the heart and passion they showed by coming over to race here in the States. Hopefully Sacha is healthy enough to be on the gate this weekend. Either way, I’m excited to finally see what MXGP is all about. 🏁

Looked like it locked up mid air and Lucas went over the bar, a bit like Sextons crash.

Seems like a really really fast privateer bike. Kudos to who ever built the engine(and the ones paying for it)

'This field is stacked' It really isnt mate. Its poor, very poor. Tony Cairoli just got off the couch at 40 and ran in the top 10. The fact he went 6-5 but was almost a minute off the win tells us all we need to know. Is he riding well, yes, am i surprised,no. He is doing what at least 15 250 guys could be doing , if they didnt stay down to try and win half a SX Championship every year for 10 years. Irony is, he would be a shoo-in for an MXoN place if Kawasaki actually...

The Lawrence Bros are the obvious favorites, but let's hope we get Lucas or Jorge (or Haiden) out front for a while and make a race of it! I think Hunter finally believes that he can beat Jett, and Jett doesn't want that to happen. They will push extra hard to just establish the brothers dominance over each other. I still can't believe we have the MX and MX2 points leaders racing in the US on an off weekend, how cool is that!
