RC will need some polishing and his ego will need to be left at the door. He knows racing however this is not an easy job, those that make it look easy are very good at it.
To be fair to Ricky though for the most part doing TV has been a side gig for him that he did every once and awhile, now that he is expected to be there every weekend to call the race surely he will improve.
Interested to see how he does full time, if it’s for all 17 rounds. I wonder if Matthes knows if they are still going to rotate that role between a couple guys?
You must have missed Jenny Taft at some kind of major college football game every weekend, then on skip and Shannon’s show(can’t remember the name). She literally isn’t coming back to SX because she is too good for it. Besides her looks (cuz those don’t matter, right?) she is an awesome reporter. She knew nothing about SX when she came in and during her last season she was great. You could tell she genuinely cared about her performance and took a real interest in the sport.
Besides all that good stuff, she’s a smoke show.
So go ahead, tell me what’s on Ricky’s resume that correlates to his commentating skills. Just cause he can ride a dirt bike doesn’t mean he can cover and announce a race.
You are going to tell us with a straight face that Jeff Emig has no idea what's happening on a track? LOL......
Hur dur she’s only there because she’s an attractive woman
Everybody but you agrees she is/was awesome. Pretty obvious who is wrong here.

I'd love David Bailey to guest in the booth.
David Bailey
Jeff Emig
now Ricky Carmichael
They probably bring some cred. If they said StevieTimes was in the booth, everybody would know they were faster, and no effs would be given.
Or will he just spend the whole time hyping up suzuki riders and talking about the problems of every other rider.
There were so many more better options for commentating, but to get the normal crowd in who is available and interested that has anywhere near the name of RC? Mcgrath? Has he done any commentating? Dungey? he seem happy to chill out. JS is MIA. RV would not want to be tied down to week in week out... ditto KW.
What other rider beside RC and would be interested and isnt racing would have pull with a general audience?
Thanks Jeff for the years of calls tho!
Post a reply to: I guess we'll find out who's in the booth for SX this Saturday
