Ryan dungey especially needs to change up his boring speeches. Ryan dungey tries to act to much like ricky carmichael.

If he has close to the same career as Ricky he can say what he wants. Besides Ricky probably coached him on his podium speech.

Also think that some ( most ) of the riders play it a little safe in their speeches , because they don't want to paint a bulls-eye on their back. Talking a little trash is one thing.....but some don't want any more enemies out there than they already have.

But Rup is right....the speeches do get repetitive.

The thing is, despite being amazing athletes, most of these guys (with some exceptions) aren't bright enough to come with anything original.

"I just need to get a good start, get up front, and ride my own race."

You just heard every pre-race interview for the entire season.

I wonder when the "condom" companies will come in and sponsor some of these riders , like they do the MMA fighters? That would make for some interesting speeches!

Imagine J-law and a condom speech?? HAHA!!.....friggin' priceless!

On the right track to appropriate recognition and demotion to the small-riggery.

Well played, sir.

I'm pretty sure that a condom company did help sponsor a privateer team within the last year or two...can't remember who it was...I remember seeing the photo on RacerX.

Are you going to A-1? I've got Scotty W semi committed to make the trek down. I know he would jump if he knew you were going.

I agree that the speeches have taken on a uniformed format pretty much all sounding a like. For this reason, I've pretty much lost interest in them and looked forward to the videos posted on Transworld interviewing the riders later on after the races. The riders weren't seeing it as a time to simply list off the sponsors, but talk about how the night went and stuff.

Chad isn't in this category. A while back he got collected by another rider ending his race (and season really. I think that was the first outdoor season he quit before the end, but my memory is foggy)
When somebody shoved a microphone in his face he matter of factly said something along the line of "Good thing I was wearing my new Alpine star tech 10, they saved me from a broken leg"

If it was not for the podium/trophy girls, I would prefer the F1 and GP format.

I'd be OK if they did a Talladega nights Will ferrell type prayer/podium speech.

Or at least use words like jacked up, spit, friggin and maybe drop a " come at you like spider monkey" and other colorful stuff etc...

I hear ya rup. I got a copy of the podium speech guidelines from team Suzuki. Here ya go:


"Yeah, thanks, I got a good start. My (insert tire sponsor) hooked up off the gate and I just rode my own race. I put my best foot forward and gave it 100% on my Rockstar Makita Suzuki, ya know, just trying to take it one race at a time. My Rockstar Makita Suzuki was working great today. I really just want to be consistent and put in a solid 20 laps. I wanna thank Rockstar Makita Suzuki..........."

Why do they thank "Jeff at Parts Unlimited"?


Chad Reed has the most interesting podium speeches, because at some point he throws in some "competition headgames" material. Also, he never sugarcoats his feelings about the track.
