Xavier Added a reply to Great conversations with Herlings, Webb, and more…
10/3/2026 12:44pm Two weeks in a row Lewis gave us great insider info on WSX, the latest being a "do or die" deadline for... last wednesday (3 days ago). Then, nothing. If WSX would indeed have missed that deadline, this would significantly affect Cooper Webb's business, for instance. Yes it's MXDN but Lewis still needs to follow up on his previous podcasts...

" actively progressing discussions to secure significant new investment" means 'we are going out of business soon'

I imagine they are just looking for new investors. SX Global holds the rights to the FIM license and has since the inception of WSX. They were initially funded by a $50 million pledge from Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, which pulled its support within a few years. SX Global found two other billionaires to step in and keep it afloat but I guess those guys are now also done with losing money. I agree I can't see anyone buying into the current structure. If I had to bet I'd say SX Global folds, the FIM license goes back out...

Xavier Added a reply to Sacha Coenen - Let's make things interesting?
9/9/2026 11:03am Yes, Bud Racing is in Hossegor and their training camp is in Magescq, the Lommel of France (only bigger, with multiple tracks). I wouldn't be surprised if one day you'd see an MXGP organised there, it is that good. The Coenen's loved the place and find it convenient to train so they stayed here (20km from Hossegor also) even after...

Xavier Added a reply to Sacha Coenen - Let's make things interesting?
9/8/2026 1:46am They have SX tracks by their home and they do practise it on a regular basis for quite some time now. I's not like training on US soil and US tracks by they do have some SX experience. Obviously, you can't replace gate drops and Paris should be their first gate drops in SX and a good starting point to...

8/27/2026 5:14pm Sorry but you are waaaaaay off on that one.
Xavier Added a reply to Surprised, no one is sayin, Lucas and Sasha's boss has to be pissed...
7/12/2026 12:59am Well, if companies spend $$$ to get exposure, considering the exposure they get from the Coenen's decision to take chances (and maybe it did bite them a bit last night but in the grand scheme of things, they again scored big points), one doubts that their "boss" would be "pissed" (IMO they don't have bosses other than themselves anyway at...
Xavier Added a reply to MXGP pre-season, national championships and international races
1/31/2026 5:06am Tax reasons. The government claimed that the start money for the top riders was indeed a salary and if you implement the heavy French employment taxes to that start money, it almost doubles the cost. The result has been the killing of the (then) numerous French international MX meetings.

1/1/2026 1:49pm Are you aware there is a guy named Romain Febvre in that class, and he happens to be wearing the #1 plate ? Not saying he will dominate but not even mentioning him, really ?
Xavier Added a reply to WSX Observations (Great Track Design!)
12/14/2025 2:32am Dust is bad for riders, fans in the stands and, last but not least, stadiums. Stadiums will not only charge the producer a ton of $$$ for cleaning, they will be reluctant to welcome SX in the future (unless they are starving for business and/or owned by communities financially supporting the Event, which was generally the case for this WSX...

Xavier Added a reply to Amazing coverage of 450 finish
4/6/2025 1:35am Same on the 250 race. With 1 lap to go, Vialle, the red plate runner, was like top 5 (?) and said to the big winner (championship points-wise). He actually was, at that point. But then, we find out that he finishes... 22nd. What happened to him ? Don't know.
Xavier Added a reply to Triumph will win both coasts
2/5/2025 6:20am Last year, Vialle was crowned 250 East champion (after being put on the ground hard at the start of race 1 and finishing 18th), beating Deegan. Then he got second behind the same Deegan in both the Outdoors and the SMX Cup. That's a lot of luck, for just one guy, in one season, indeed.
