Not sure if there was thread about this already.
What do you guys think about all this? Seems like all the top riders and alot of people in the industry are taking a stand by not supporting the CMA.
"Showcasing a zero-support effort towards the 2019 MXON WILL show the FIM a change in Canada needs to
happen"
A couple of the top riders have announced that they will not support the 2019 MXON.

Facciotti, not going.
Wright, not going.
Pretty sure Thompson won't be going since his brothers are trying to take over.
Hopefully shit gets back on track for 2020. Sucks that we won't see Facciotti going at it one last time.
2019 could have been great with Facciotti, Thompson and Pettis/Wright.
I'm not sure if other riders will follow suit.
What's the end game here? FIM has jetwerx become their affiliate? I'm tired of FIM having anything to do with mx in north america.

How many of you out there think that Canada as a country is a bit of a pushover? My buddy Zeb said it best a few weeks back and it stands true when you say it. Canadians are always, “oops, sorry eh.” Rather than, “F That, this is how it is and there’s no changing it.” Sometimes I wish we as a country we were more like the US when backing something we believe in. Well, maybe now we have our shot to make a difference, make a change, and prove our country is not some semi-dumb odd word pronouncing wimpy little brother. The CMA has to go away for good. The “Woman” who runs it (she doesn’t deserve a name) is a human that deserves nothing for her acts towards Canadian moto, and the time for change is now.
A few months ago, a new President was named at the top of the FIM. He replaced the very corrupt leader prior and this new President Jorge Vegas has shaken stuff up. Now, the FIM does squat for our country, absolutely squat. Much like the US, they are not needed for us to go racing. Mark Stallybrass proved that for 30 years. Jetwerx is now doing the same thing. The amount of poison that CMA has injected into Canadian MX – rivals’ people that serve life sentences in prison for their acts.
With the shakeup at the head of the FIM, it took the “woman” down a peg in the power struggle she used to have. The FIM then started to realize the disease she is and up until about a month ago nearly took the only thing the CMA had left, away. The announcement of “Team Canada is going to Assen” went out last week and the only reason it did, is so that “woman” can get her little bit of cash flow from the FIM.
CMA is a zombie organization relative to the size of the sport in this country.
The FIM surely realizes they are getting nothing out of Canada. It boils down to two possibilities:
A) They don't care
Or
They feel things are unlikely to materially improve for them by naming Jetwerx/CMRC or anyone else as a their new affiliate.
Although its 25 years overdue here, change can still happen in a hurry. We should all stand behind Facciotti and Kourtney Lloyd, and hope that the modest attention that brings results in some improvements.
I think it would help if they, and others that have been involved in MXON could fully articulate the problems with the current CMA structure and personnel, and what specifically they would suggest going forward.
