Amazing that redbull can give fans something they want to see and build a website to make it even more engaging. Thats why they are successful.
The Shop
Next year they should expand on the 2 strokes and have a 125 class and 250 class.
So don't waste your time if you don't waste your time on either of those platforms.
Pit Row
Also want to see MC, TP and Fro in this.
And where is Kaven Benoit and Gared Steinke? Add them next year.
...i supose the smokers might not be fast enough. i don't know.
As for Kaven Benoit it would be cool to see a Canadian at the event and seeing as he won back to back 250 championships on the 2 stroke he knows how to ride one. That being said I don't see it in his plans this year or any other year.
He got hurt riding SX last January so came into the MX season not 100%, re-aggravated it early in the season, sat out a couple weeks, came back and lacerated his liver. I believe he still has 1 other surgery to get done in order to fix some things in his ankle. You won't see him do any off season SX races anytime soon. He said at this point in his career the SX ship has sailed. Concentrating 100% on MX from now on.
If that doesn't work out...Daytona...or Vegas..or Hangtown...or possibly MEC or Straight Rhythm next year..
It´s gonna be Reed vs. Sipes.
Number one requirement of being a Red Bull athlete, "be an athlete." Maybe Pizza Hut is looking to endorse.
