Heck, I'll admit it. I miss Fro already. Yeah, I don't think his analysis was that good. He def needed to step that part way up but as a rider, a personality, a person... I love Emig. And he and Ralph are obviously close friends which I think helps a lot.

They def need to go the route of someone is excellent at analysis to improve the broadcast. You're losing chemistry and familiarity plus someone everyone likes but maybe just not in this role anymore.

You def have to have someone with race analysis that is much improved for this to make sense. I don't feel that is Dungey. He seemed uncomfortable on the mic. Of course, that can improve with time.

Even was on a Wheaties box.

I like the way he talks about what the riders are thinking.

The Producer will play it conservative, a great role model guy who just shot one past the goalie.

GL’s drawl works ok for outdoors, but SX, you gotta move fast.
Weege is on probation for his podcast intro. Yikes.
What did Weege do to get on probation?

I would love it if it was The King of SX! But I remember him saying on a podcast recently that he didn't mind popping in every now and then, but didn't really have the interest in doing it full time.

As far as Dungey goes, I really like him, but the few times he was in the booth it was so hard to listen to. I think he's just too shy, and either got too focused on watching the race or just didn't really know what to say.

I wouldnt mind having weege and ralph. Everyone thinks there has to be a previous racer for insight, but i feel like weege does that better than emig.

Ive never had the thought of credibility pop into my head on what weege says about what the riders are feeling or doing. He gets it.

I agree as well. Weege does pretty good and would do fine in the analysis position IMO.

I like Emig and didnt think he was horrible in the booth like some on here, but I do think he could of been a lot better with more effort put into it.

I like Ralph. Dungey is great but I feel like he has some of that kind of stuttering symptom a lot of racers have under pressure when communicating. It is very common but I bet he would do fine.

The lack of mention on Pulp screams Weege to me. Blair also makes sense. But I’d put money on Weege.

Well, I was 100% wrong. The "preview" show is nothing but a highlight show with narration.

Can someone please tell us who we'll see in 2 weeks.

2 weeks.

I wouldn't mind Dungey, I think the last time he did some commentary was Millville this past year and I thought he did a good job although you could tell he was quite upset when Tomac passed Marv in those motos.

I DVR’d it and caught the first half. I actually really... really liked what I saw so far. Out at a party... can’t wait to get home and catch the rest.

It was just a highlight show with a narrator mainly. Still cool. I was hoping it would be more of a roundtable preview. Worth watching, though. Good footage of Kenny in particular.

Favourite Jeff quote: riders either use roll offs or tear offs in these conditions, the tear off is where the rider peels off the helmet for clear vision ??

The Ken Roczen portion was really good, I hope he can get some wins this season and complete his miraculous comeback.

Too bad Cianciarulo can't at least do the 450's between his motos.
