Here’s the headline on the Triumph Racing website only 5 days ago: “Triumph Factory Racing Storms Into 2025 Pro Motocross.”

And here are the results of the “storm”: 15th, 19th, 25th, DNF. And while it’s understandable that results like these do not lend themselves to promotional after-race ads, the fact that two of their most popular riders were injured does deserve some type of announcement, if just to let fans know if the riders are okay. And even from a strictly journalistic standpoint, we want to know what happened.

Maybe I missed it? Maybe I need to wade through hours of Pulp and other post-race podcasts to find out what should have been reported during the broadcast or immediately following it? But I still think it’s Triumph Racing’s responsibility to put out a n update in a timely fashion.

I just barely understand the appeal of tattoos.  But I definitely don't understand getting a tattoo that covers 99% of your leg in ink.

Thanks for the link. I kept looking at Vital and RacerX for updates but didn’t see this one.

And everyone was going on and on about how the Euro rider, Haarup?, was going to kill it for Triumph. I see Jordon Smith consistent top tens though.

Typing in all caps in a chat/forum/email/text message, etc... is definitely, 100% considered yelling.  It's a thing.  It's been a thing for a couple of decades.

Assuming they’re yelling though is a bit childish. 

It’s much more likely that they just left caps-lock on their keyboard and it really isn’t a big deal to ‘send-it’ rather than delete it and re-type. 
This is a far more grown up assumption.

What some of us are assuming is that Wandell didn't know that all caps means yelling.  You might not either.

If you look It up, that's what it means when in a forum, social media, text message, etc...

If you accidently type something out in all caps and don't want to re-type it. Just say so.

In your head- all caps = yelling. 

In most grown up’s head- all caps = mistakenly left the caps lock on. 

The difference is in the maturity level and sensitivity of the reader.. 

I’m sorry that raised voices upset you.. do you need to talk to someone about it?

Always rooting for Stilez, poor guy. I can’t believe he’s tried his hardest to fix the thing 7 times and it’s still looking this rough

Maybe if you're a grown up that doesn't know what all caps means... life would get pretty confusing if you had to assume that anything could of just been a mistake. If it is written all caps, I'm assuming someone is yelling.
