Its been so good. I think it will go down as one of the best and/or entertaining! Especially the championship battles playing out to the end.

All of the storylines in SX with Dungey and Tomac going down to the final race, and all that happened there. Hill winning a 250 title and of course the ZO Versace battles, especially how it all went down to the final race.

The Tomac, BB, Musquin storylines. Tomac getting his first big bike title in MX. Bogle and AC getting their first wins. Herlings coming over to race a US national, and of course all that was involved with that.

Now, we have a culmination with the USGP where it appears Herlings and Tomac can go for the win. Throw in Cairoli coming over on an epic career run that could add to the flavor. Not to mention adding the Gajser's, Febvre's, et al GP riders in the mix.

Dungey retiring and KR94's injury added storylines to both MX and SX.

I know I've missed some things, but the MX/SX products have delivered. Its really been fun to watch.

It HAS been really good.

Thankful for the NBC sports gold app too. That's the most outdoors I have watched in years.

I was pumped for Herlings win. The riders in both series are badasses

I would say Bogle getting a win was one of the biggest story's that really didn't seem to get to much of a story!

Like you say storylines aplenty!
Remember how good the first 250 moto was in Colorado!? Battles everywhere
Actually the races in both series have been awesome all year

I was happy to see AC have some success and race the whole year along with Wilson.

^^^Yep, good points brought up by all.

Parody is a great word! A lot of fans got to root for, and were rewarded by "their guy", on any given day.

It was a hell of a year for sure! We saw some awesome racing indoors and out. Field got a little thinned out , but still created some great races.
