Bezos is starting a race team and everyone will ride rocketbikes shaped like dicks.

Sarcasm is hard.

*I’m assuming it’s the AMart retirement when I say this. If you don’t listen to Pulp/RacerX Review pod…well then you have an excuse for not “getting it”

Great point. It has to be something big unless it's fake news/clickbait.
Acquisition/sale of SX or MX is the only thing I think would qualify.

I'd put money on it being just something like Amart retiring or something like that from the riders from the inner circle of the Pulp empire.

I could very well be wrong. My memory has failed me a time or two in the past but didnt Ricky Carmichael use "There goes my Hero" for a time when he was introduced in opening ceremonies? If so , I wonder if this might be Ricky Carmichael related. I know its a stretch , just thinking out loud.
That’s what I was thinking…something to do with RC…

Hmm, maybe RC to be the team manager of the Triumph team or something? Not quite 'change the sport forever' but its big news.

AMA let’s stark run in the 450 class under development rule but we’re only doing 15+2 in alignment with their new “diversity equity and inclusion policy.”

Ryan Dungey is taking over as Manager for KTM, De Coster is retiring.
Also; Team is only racing Supercross.!

I’d guess stark is going to line up at A1 2023, in the “450” class

Yeah, if that happens it sure will be a game changer, my prediction is that no current combustion engine stands any chance, regardless of who is the rider (as long as rider is current top 12).

That will most likely also be the nail in the coffin for some manufacturers who simply will not make the investment (or they come back in 10years when tech is maturered).

(then again, I can't see the big four letting it happen, as they for sure will be on the short end)

This can only be Tim Ferry retiring. He had a good career.

Two scenarios.

1. Matthes is trolling. The big PR is that A Martin retires.

2. Something regarding electric bikes being allowed in AMA and FIM racing. This is the only big thing that will change the sport forever.

An extra billion dollars per year in funding for direct energy weapons programs open the door for some extreme start-gate laser-pointer distractions just in time for MXoN.

It’s obvious, Steve will be in the booth in 2023 a bit. Or something to do with the privateer race.

Amart retiring isn't going to "Change the sport forever".

Could be something related to privateers or electric bikes.

They will lose tons of fans, myself included. I just can't see a packed Supercross stadium with RC car sounding bikes, if that's the case it's been fun Motocross.

Suzuki stopping production of mx bikes would be my uneducated guess.

FOX and BELL helmets under the same parent company with other brands largely in the cycling, firearms/accessories, and sportsman industry.
