My hat’s off to all the competitors, crews and fans at Foxborough tonight. :beers:

Attaboy, AP! :beers:
That was the ugly. Glad it didn’t totally change the championship. Idk how Webb made up that much time at the end. Terrible tv coverage.
In those conditions, the fact that there was TV coverage at all was pretty impressive.Quote:

they totally missed missed Webb making up any time. If you go to vitalmx which is motocross version of this site everyone on there is pissed about the coverage. After every race tonight including the heats the didn’t show any racing after the leader crossed the finish. I love ap but all they wanted to show was him jumping in mud puddles instead of showing the race. Especially when the championship is on the line. It was terrible coverage.Quote:

I used to love to see Magoo riding those dirt/street races that would now be Supermoto and I did watch a race from Carlsbad with Emig smoking the field on his KX 80 (this was before he smoked other things :laugh:). In his post race interview....they could barely coax two words out of him.....just a bunch of headshaking.
This weekend was nuts. I couldn't tell who was who with all of that mud. I am not a huge fan of mud races, but I am glad they happen from time to time for the privateers sake! Was very cool to see some of them running up front. Probably going to be a few more before they get done with the NE races. I wish Deegan had been in that race....lol
Oh yeah....and ET3 is back on the bike. Targeting MX round 1 but would like to make the last SX. Can't wait to have him back.
Philadelphia looking pretty good. I hope the rain holds off like they're saying and we see some good racing. The East West shootout would be very good this afternoon!
Rumor mill is grinding.....no more Tomac at Star after this year? Sexton to the Green Machine???
I think sexton would be dumb to leave ktm. I heard star doesn’t want to pay Tomac.Quote:

I heard the argument that Star thought Tomac would retire after 23 and now after 24.....but unless it's written into a contract you can't use that excuse.Quote:

One thing with Tomac I think. The guy is a legend in the sport. If Star doesn't resign him, he will have zero issues signing somewhere else.
If it were me...just my opinion. If Ducatti wants to stay in the sort I would go after Tomac in a heartbeat to get my bike on the podium as much as possible. And with a guy like Tomac that is possible pretty easily.
But the Rumor mill always turns that's for sure and no clue how much of it is true.
As for Sexton, with the issues KTM has I would probably be looking to jump also just for stability.
'Tis the (silly) season :cool:
I didn't mind the TV coverage. :confused2:Quote:
