Never mind. Just seen on tv. Jumped the gun. Said it 30 seconds after I typed this message.
Smart move for him to sit out. Not worth it. Gotta know your body.

Man seeing his interview was scary. Slurred speach and could barely stand up. Heat exhaustion is no joke folks.

Word in pits treated at local hospital for heat exhaustion as well as few other riders. Reminds me of Texas National few years back when it was brutal hot and guys were getting exhausted in second Moto’s.

And yet they can’t be hooked up to a damn IV to get rehydrated after their first race. That’s some seriously risky business there.

Josh Lichtle died from heat stroke in 2011. Sexton made the right move by sitting out and he should probably take the week off and let his body recover.

Yeah Justin cooper was in bad shape also after second moto. He was slurring and about to pass out and they stick a fucking microphone in his face 30 second after he’s off the bike.

Yeah totally agree. No joke at all. Your body levels can get so out of whack by sweating out too much and not taking enough liquids and salts and enzymes in.
It was dangerous out there today.

One time when Doug Henry won the GNCC near Daytona he had to stop talking and go behind the podium to throw up. He could barely walk.

It is just stupid IVs are not allowed between motos. There is no reason there could not be a heat index which dictated if IVs were allowed. The relative humidity and feels like temperature would be taken into account.

Oh and once you become a heat casualty you’re predisposed to it years after - Sexton has some smart people in his corner.

Yep I remember that really well. They put an IV in him right away.

so if IVs were allowed, that would mean everyone would need an IV to be competitive, week in and week out..... So that would mean well over 100 riders would be getting them, creating a potential health hazzard/ shitshow - not only to the competitors, but also the medical waste it would create. Who is gonna pay for all that waste? Who is gonna pay all the nurses? Maybe they could take the money from their union dues?

If its so bad, they should just shorten the races- a bunch of teenagers and young men routinely doing IV insertions given by bike mechanics or parents in the middle of a national with all the dirt etc. is a recipe for disaster. Competing in a motorcycle race should not be considered a medical emergency.

For pro nationals, perhaps at a pre-defined heat index level an approved IV could be allowed...this only make sense.

Similar to what our company does for the guys in the shop...over a certain temp they have mandatory cool down Gatorade breaks...

Yup, welcome to call out culture and everyone knowing everything because they have a thing in their pocket that makes them feel as if it's true.

Dramatic? Maybe, maybe not.... I used to work for a company that made billions of dollars a year selling drugs for hepatitis and HIV.... you know, viruses transmitted by intravenous needles and exposure to blood amongst other things.

You can spin it any way you want, the end result is the same. Bottom line is the big dogs have made bad decisions for this year, in my opinion.

Other sports allow for IV hydration, check the UFC and the NFL. What Brad460 is suggesting is the safer route for the athletes. You do not need to be a qualified nurse to administer an IV. An EMT-Advanced can start an IV. A national should have someone with those credentials on hand already.

Every football team in the South starts practices soon and go through August with two a days. I realize not the same as moto but it is very tough.

If the heat/humidity is too tough for some riders they can sit the round out. The sport already shortened the motos from the old days. What is next? Maybe make it a team race?

IV's for every rider is not the answer.

IV should be allowed but i don't think it would be smart for someone on verge of heatstroke to get an IV so they can go race. when your get to those levels of exhaustion a 1hr break and an IV is not enough, it takes day(s) to fully recover.

I would love to here dc’s stance on this. Having a bunch of riders not even able to finish moto 1 or 2. Then put the race winner in front of the camera on the verge of collapsing takes away from the sport.
