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...

Teuschenthal was a great track but the last few years MXGP have ripped it eight ft deep and it’s been a rut-ruined shithole like far too many other tracks. Last year my knees and ankles were hurting just watching it. I dnt understand why the sport is going so far away from its roots with big hills and proper natural challenges. But then I am a cantankerous old git now at 47 so maybe it’s just an old fart thing.

Teutchentel is just worse every year with the ruts. I understand they try to rip it to create lines, absorb water and keep the speed down but it is like deep ruts for the full lap. Not a fan of this one for spectating

A few disgusting comments in here. I’ll try to give my thoughts as objectively as possible, which is hard to do knowing the extent of Benistant his injuries. The race should have been red flagged immediately. He was knocked out (which already is a reason to raise the red flag as he was laying on the track) and when he woke up couldn’t feel his legs. I appreciate Febvre and Coenen speaking up about these issues and really hope the FIM/MXGP learns from this situation. I’d rather have a red flag situation too soon (which maybe was the case at...

Its good that Febvre says this but nothing will change by just saying this. Two years ago van doninck didnt get operated on in Argentina untill a teamowner paid thousands in cash. The champs should sit together and make a list of safety demands. And simply dont ride untill they get confirmation that the demands are met. And the moment they are at a track where stuff is not up to par simply dont ride first free practice untill its taken care off. Febvre, Herlings, Gajser are in a point in their career where Infront cant hurt them. Getting life...

It was in the post race press conference. He wasn't happy that nobody from FIM showed up at their own press conference either. Fast forward to about 5 minutes 40 seconds.

That there was no red flag thrown for that , was criminal. Febvre was right about everything, and nothing will change. Its a goat track, irrespective of how exciting the racing appeared. Hoping for a good outcome for Benistant.

I saw Benistant on the floor and was really surprised they didn't stop the race, it looked like he was unconscious... Riders safety should be at the forefront and it seemed like it should have been stopped to me.

"Thibault was on the ground, he didn't have feelings on the bottom half of his body... it's hard to understand there was no red flag compare to when a few riders fall down and looks okay and they put the red flag there. I know we should not talk like that but it is important, it is hard to understand." Lucas Coenen

I’ve seen interviews claiming the opposite. I suspect they were told to congirm it was a productionframe to minimize the negative pr from the US. They don’t exactly have to be truthful, and they are working for the same brand

Yeah that’s true. I like JS91 so I might be a bit biased. I always find it sad and hard to admit when there’s a changing of the guard. I’m old and I can’t help it 🤷‍♂️

The thing is, the results started to fall off at Kawasaki. And yes, everyone knows they have had issues etc. But i do think the trend down started there no matter what bike Seewer is on. But i could be wrong, the only way to know is if he gets on a third bike.
