Seriously? They actually did that?? (haven't watched it yet...)

If they did this, someone needs a beat down!

Don't know if it was intentional or not but the audio did go silent for a good portion of his interview.

Great ride for him today though.

I don`t know the cause, but his audio when off in the moment hi was mentioning his soponsor and the last words was thanking his girlfriend.

AND he didn´t get interviewed after the first moto. They always interview #1-2, but 1st moto was #1 and 3, then they muted him after moto 2. Smells fishy for sure.

Really hope American Suzuki signs him next year. He would be a better choice and probably cheaper than Pourcel.

Yeah I've been saying how fast these GP guys are, & so many people try to say they don't have anything for the local crowd here.... it's pretty obvious now. Desalle hauls.

Yeah it's a shame he didn't get podium interview the 1st moto, but it was a technical issue the 2nd moto - sucks but I'm sure the right people noticed how fast he is & who's helping him.

One of the best in the world, but Colorado isnt the style of track he rode today. He didnt pick this track to come over for by accident.

no..... he picked it because it didn't clash with any world championship rounds,

and coming from the GP series, he's used to riding all kinds of different tracks

He pick this national because it was one week before Brazil and so it was easy to fit in his schedule. But thats probably to hard to understand for you FlaNard...

Its also a very Euro friendly track. But like I said, he is clearly one of the best in the world. I just think that this track will suit him better then Colorado. We will see.

I'm not an expert so can you enlighten me as to what makes this track Euro friendly?

Colorado is on some places sandy and can be rough so i think he will do it fine there.
But maybe he took Unadilla because it is one of the most beautiful tracks in the world alongside with Namur/Washougal/...

Lemme guess: It's the closest track in the Nat's to the European continent?

It wasn't the rut-fest that some of the other tracks are?

It has a Euro on it?

Honestly, I think the Thunder Valley track will not be an issue for Euros. The real deal is how they'll deal with altitude...

He rode Washougal last year... guess he picked that track out too? Like previously said, he rode because it fits real well with Brazil next week and jet lag etc etc! The guys deserves alot of respect considering he had only been over for a few days and got 2nd overall!

Thunder Valley is my home track, I ride it several times a week. It is not Sandy.
It can get rough & at times dry, but not sandy. I do think Clement will do well there though.

The guy finds a spare weekend in his schedule, hops on a 9 hour plane ride, jumps on a bike he's never seen before on a track he's never seen before and goes 2 -2 .

He's fucking stud.

Great stuff.

Just makes me wish we had a real World Championship (that pays well), can you imagine throwing all these guys in together every race.

MXDN is good but no substitute for a Word Championship.
