Runs its cause. Time to go? Watching tonight's / today's race was so boring. Teams not sending riders etc. Ralph and Jeff constantly asking riders how important MEC is.
I feel there flogging a dead horse. If it was to go I don't think anyone will be upset. Well maybe the contracted Monster riders will pretend to be upset

It doesn't seem like the teams didn't send the "guys", it seems as though we are lacking stars. I think this could be one heck of a snoozer this year.

MEC this year was awful. So boring and I honestly had no hype even with Tomac in it. Boring track half the riders are triple digit riders no one cares about.

I'd like to see it closer to the start of the season, then it could truly be called a warm up race. Then again, the contenders probably wouldn't race it with fear of getting injured right before A1

I said this before but this year I'm more excited for RBSR than the Monstercup.

With that said though watching any racing is better than no racing for me. Now it's time to start watching tonight's endurocross.

If you want exciting racing watch the MotoGP from Japan.

Snoozzzzfest. Carmichael may be the GOAT, but not a track designer, he'll probably add rings of fire and loops next year. The event is starting to hurt the sport. Props to Marv and Matilda though.

Boring track, boring racing. Excited to see SX again when Tomac and Webb are back in it.

Kirk, that was a great Moto GP race. Regardless of the tone here I enjoyed the race tonight. Lots to take away..... Wilson was solid and a bit of a surprise and Tickle looks comfy on the new bike. Barcia was getting used to his new bike and had a good night as well.

I think the track had some to do with it. The entire stadium was wide open straight aways... but also, typically when the "alpha" rider gets hurt, it opens it all up... Tonight was the opposite to an extent. Tomac going down tonight could really hurt the event in the future unfortunately.

You guys do know that a) a few crashes took out some of the top guys and/or b) some guys didnt attend as they are injured or recovering from injuries and/or c) some are in other countries racing ??

Given that Tomac sidestepped racing the Des Nations this year,

and last year he was vocal about the strain the Monster was putting on him by making him race the GP rounds etc...




i was super fucking happy to see a Red Bull Rider win this year, not only that, but bang Monster for 1,000,000

Well done MM!

Glad Tomac is somewhat ok after his crash but, it was funny that after he crashed (and others) they were going to switch to Fox Go... Almost as if they were over it too.

I love when someone responds with "You do know" I don't give a shit who was or was not racing the track sucked & the race was boring.

Some of you seem to be alive only so you can bitch about things. Frankly I just love watching motorcycle races, and I had a good time watching them tonight.

I will agree with the guys who said the minis were the best part though. I love watching a talented kid ring the neck of a well tuned mini bike.

Don't make me get cranky at you like I did with Manny!

I really should have had something to eat before drinking.Laughing

Incredibly boring.
And I'm sure the Monster execs are real happy to get spanked by Red Bull once again and to give a million to Musquin...
