I’ve never seen anyone faster at the end of a soft, beat up SX track in my life. Watching how fast he closed on Eli at Oakland last weekend in person was one of the craziest speed drops I have ever seen on a track and I’ve watched a ton of SX races live and in person. No one is faster in that scenario and luckily for him, over half of the tracks on the circuit break down that way, so late in a race he always has a shot. It’s wild to watch.

RC is evolving.. Last night No one Hit their Marks. Everyone Hit their Lines.

RC should watch old replays of when D. Bailey did commentary… and try hard to emulate him. So far RC has not really offered any insight into anything that I can remember…

He brings zero insight because he cannot use his words. He acts as though he starts a sentence, and mid-way through forgot what he was going to say. Anyone with minor knowledge of the sport can explain racing situations better than him.

We're just calling a spade a spade. James has insight and is easy to listen to. Ricky is not the right guy for the job. He can't articulate anything.

People are paying for a product. They are in their rights to be critical.

I do not care how fast he was on a bike, it has zero to do with his announcing ability. He is just not good at calling play by play. He cannot even describe simple scenarios without firing out a word salad that might as well be in Spanish. Time to give someone else a shot...

I thought he was pretty good. He constantly threw leads to Carmichael to expand on something or analyze it and Carmichael was just silent. So, after the dead air for a good 5 seconds, Harris just picked back up with the action.

I thought Todd was fine last night. Much better than any of the rounds he did in 2022.

100% correct. the leadership “experts” have put him under this pressure to fit to their mold, when they would have gotten his best had they given him more freedom. classic mistake that’s ubiquitous to a large portion of corporate leadership mentality.

Let’s get rid of Hubbard and Will C first. They are intolerable. I watch the entire race day live on mute.

No he’s not, he’s not even the most popular 250 rider.

They’ve had AC in the booth when he was on 250s and he was GREAT! Seems like they pick riders who speak well and have large personalities. Thrasher in the booth? Really? He couldn’t even speak English on the podium last night. You think he’d speak well in the booth and can’t even put together a 30 second interview. Half these guys have no personality or emotion. Why do you think 722 and his brother had appearances in the past. Larger than life personalities and a good following Maybe these other riders don’t travel to the opposite coasts for the...

Kinda disrespectful to an all time great to say a 250 guy has him covered.

Dude, it's a little early on a Sunday morning to be hitting the crack pipe.

If you think it’s unreasonable for a teenager who just got out of puberty to make negative comments after seeing his brother get taken out a split second after only seeing one camera angle then you must have never been a kid or have kids. That’s perfectly reasonable. That was FAR from talking sh*t. BUT as soon as the other camera angles were shown he retracted his statement. Made the correct judgement call and apologized for his bad take and further said Hunter shouldn’t have been there and should’ve waited to get close and make a pass elsewhere. He partially...

Lol at all the Jett nuthuggers thinking him winning a moto at the MXDN while guys were riding conservative to win the overall makes him a threat. Jett is going to get son'd by Eli and Chase in the outdoors. Let's make a bet.

This was a must thread

Has nothing to do with what he is "allowed" to do, it's RC worrying about somebody being upset with him. Stew a couple weeks ago told it exactly as he saw it and will be back for Daytona. Listen closely next week and it will be clear how bad RC really is when Stew crushes it with only a few races called.
