Of course it's nothing to do with the 250s going out on a prepped track ?

You have to say, how the hell can he be top Honda qualifier.

He has ( as far as i know) never had a factory ride in 250 or 450, never had a win, and yet here he is at the sharp end of 450 SX, on merit. He was running great in the race where Mookie crashed, and has been solid for MCR since he has been there.

When you think how many riders have come and gone since Freise started in SX who were going to be something , and never were, it makes you think how many others there are that could have been solid performers in the big class but never got there , because they peaked early and ended up dropping down.

I hope he gets a result, because its overdue.

I never liked his MO , but you have to say he is delivering as a rider
Hard work and a very well run team. Tony Alessi has been doing a great job at MCR. They have done a great job developing the bike, and ALL their riders are (were) going fast. Too bad Mookie balled it up. He could have won a race.

Do they run an AX series in the UK? I'd bet it would be a money maker.

https://www.arenacrossuk.com It gets some decent riders. I'm not sure how successful it is economically but it's been going on for quite a few years now so it must be doing reasonably ok.

I know Brits are sports crazy and winters there are ugly. I figured they would turn out for indoor moto.

For the night show yes everyone is in. And I would think 19 riders in each heat.

Same here, not big on him, but he's shown flashes of brilliance.

Can't see PC Kawi letting AC get away if he wins the west, been a loooong time since a rider wore the number 1 in SX for Mitch. Also can't see Kawi getting rid of Savagty after his performances so far. Could see AC taking Seely's spot at Honda if he's not defending the West next year, especially since he and Roczen are so close and already train together!
If Ciancirulo wins the west title he will be advanced out of the 250SX class next year. No chance to run a # 1 if you win the title in your third year or more.

East coast lites seems much more deep. Lot more riders that could win.

There is a decent AX, series here, but its mainly non UK riders, apart from a couple of AX specialists, none of the top riders do it, They have a double header in Birmingham about 30 mins from us, but i didnt go , 6 min races, and loads of freestyle aint for me. It does draw a good non-moto crowd though,

We have a big pre season International here next week at Hawkestone Park, loads of GP boys turning out,
