Notice how freakishly thin MC looked during the Science of SX segment when he was picking up dirt? He’s up to something if he’s getting in that kind of shape. Maybe a one off SX race? Hmm, hmm? Or he’s got a tape worm.

Nothing wrong with being in shape. Would be cool if he did a 1 off race. He could probably still beat webb lmao

I heard Matthes mention some Ironman/Triathalon BS, MC is just into fitness now I guess.

No doubt he would qualify. Triple crown would be perfect with his starts.

Gotta be in shape to race his truck. I'd like to think those trucks beat you pretty good.

I almost didn't recognize him until he started talking. He looks leaner than what he did in the 90's.

I think MC is getting in shape for truck racing. He did win the title.

Talk about sickly looking....Broc Tickle. He looked terrible. Probably why he went off track, he smelled a cheeseburger.

RC is in shape as well. In the shape of a circle.

Back in 2014 during a race something obviously happened on the track that we the viewers couldn’t see. RC saw it while commentating and let out burst of “DOH”! When the question was asked if anyone saw what happened, someone responded with “RC saw someone drop a Funnel Cake!”

Yes I noticed that to!??! I told my friend he looks like the guy in the movie Dawn of the dead. What's up with this super skeleton look? There were a few guys that are looking extremely thin! That shit doesn't look healthy.

Yeah me too... being fit looks like shit, how dare anyone care about what they look and feel like. Just remember kids it’s ok if you let yourself go and look like a jelly donut everyone will give you a gold star and say as long as you did your best it’s ok!

When did being lean and in shape mean you look sick... wtf?

I'd love it if he came back and raced.

Sure, he's older, but when he was young he had no interest in training.

Old MC is still better than most of the field if he's in top fitness. Why? Because he'll never lose what made him great in the first place, his mental strength. The dude is a winner.

I think that would be a solid carrot to dangle in front of him to prompt an effort. I would love to see him come out and make a main and go top 10.

Umm? Better get the Vital back up servers warmed up.

So now, what is his meaning of a “comeback”? When I think comeback, I think of more than a couple of races.

I saw that to and my thought were he is getting in shape for something or he is sick? I hope he is getting ready for some kind of racing, on 2 wheels!

By the way, is he still married? His wife alive? Didn’t she have some sort of medical condition some years back?

I think his wife survived cancer and is alive. I'm not sure about the marriage.

I'd have to see MC ride. Im taking Manny's word for it that "riding VERY, VERY WELL" is in relative context to who we are talking about.

Also of note, Reed is riding hurt.

Here's what I think we'd see, it'd be similar 2006 (which was a deeper field was it not?)... MC went out there on a 2 stroke and was up front on every start. Put him on a 450 today with a good setup and I'd have to believe he would get good starts. Good start and his talent, now he's training... I think he would impress everyone.

Is MC gonna come thru the pack? No way. Not his style and never has been. He knows how to show up when the lights are on and make the most of the start of the race. I dont see why that would change just because he's older.

So yeah, he beats Reed. But not because he's outright faster, but because I think he'd get vastly better starts.

Here's my .02 (which is way more than it's worth)...All the top riders and most of the field are in fantastic physical condition. They all "look" healthy and fit. MC appeared to be either overtrained or ill. We all know that the camera adds weight. When someone looks that thin on tv....they are skeletal in real life. Hope he's ok, who doesn't love the guy. NEXT, when any one of you Arkansas feed bags can pull out a resume better than Ricky's or can post a video of you crushing him on a dirt bike then go ahead and crack on him about his weight. If you feel the need to make a snide comment....stop and think about how much better he was on his worst day than you will EVER be on your best. There ya go.
