That was as polite as a block pass can be.

When Ron Lechien went to Japan with Team Honda in 1986 he was busted at the airport for possession of marijuana. It cost him his job with the Team and Honda executives immediately sent him back to the States. One of the British magazines covering the story later said, "Ron Lechien left no turn unstoned".

Late summer 2020, my wife and I went to our local pub. She goes to sit in the garden while I get the drinks. I join her five minutes later and she’s sat at a bench talking to Robert Plant. I sit down and join in the conversation, explaining that we have a mutual friend in Jason Bonham (he raced in schoolboys at the same time as me). We talk for a while about motocross, and to my surprise, he asked about some riders he remembered from those days (I later messaged one of them to tell him that RP...

I don’t think the base bike is the issue at Triumph USA. Their most consistent rider races part time and is leaving the US after the summer…they’ve had no one consistently on track. I don’t care how much testing you do, if guys cant finish seasons you are getting absolutely no data.

You would have thought MXSports would have learned their lesson with FLO when the nationals were on there for a short time. No one could watch and then had their bank accounts continually charged when they tried to cancel. That was a huge topic here on Vital, I believe part of the reason Davey departed here. I guess I won't be watching any of Loretta's this year.

This sucks. Flo is crooks and now all these events will get less viewers and engagement. At least the lawsuit against them appears to have helped bring some more transparency to their questionable billing practices but I still refuse to give them a cent.

I have no problems with the penalties but if you have that many red cross/red light jumping violations there is something systemic going on and it should be looked at internally to understand why.

Money - it's all about the money. More "VIP" areas than ever that take up real estate that the average fan used to be able to watch from. I used to go to Red Bud, made it there every single year for over 25 years and my friends and I stopped going because they have ruined the experience for the average fan. You used to be able to see at least half of the track if you were standing near the flag jump area, now they have the VIP structure behind the bleachers and even the fans that get to...

He’s pestering Jett because he can’t seem to beat him straight up. So he has to pester him in hopes of getting in his head. It’s sad the best American born rider we have has zero class. It’s going to be really funny if he can never solve the Jett mystery.

The balls on Fahie to act like a 450 supercross and motocross champion doesn't know how to brake tap, lol. You're telling me Chase, in the lowest-pressure environment of press day riding, forgot a fundamental skill engrained in his brain since he was a kid? And to specifically conduct an interview with Hopper to speak on it and defend that stance to the public, choosing to further align yourself with the brand over the rider... The Kawi program is so fucked, man. Give it to Mitch.

I recognize the Talent of the players, No High Level Physical Sport is easy : but, until they get rid of this Utter BS - people call it 'gamesmanship', I call it Idiocy, that SO cheapens the game - I will never have much time for it. Though, I have little time for Any Ball and Stick games. I grew out of them decades ago. I played Rugby: League and Union - both to State level, and, did some Soccer. I was one of those Kids that was good at All sports - well, until I destroyed my knees. That...

Yeah they caved to the moto guys who don’t know how good it is to be able to see your fuel level 😂

I expected the two riders leading the MX1 & MX2 GP points leads to be fast. It's great they seem to be nice guys happy and cheerful. Not entitled little pricks worried about social media likes and behaving like a ghetto rap wannabe. We are lucky they are moving to America.

They never look at him or use his name when talking. 100% the right way to handle Haiden.

Coenens, Lawrences, Jo, Romano, Kitchen podium interviews just serve as a good reminder for how unlikeable Deegan is as a person.

Saw an interview earlier today with DeCoster talking about that. He was soo pumped and happy about that. Really cool to see

Fly made the Coenen’s some Decoster inspired gear for this weekend. Pretty cool!
