I thought they would skip this year. Makes it easy that it is all "ktm's"

 

Team Damage Control.

CC28 just started riding a bike again. RJ is still not 100% from Unadilla. AP7 is going to be the lone dawg in the fight.

 

I think I would have chosen Cooper Webb or Adam CnC instead of Christian Craig.

 

Webb definitely would of been a good choice. I think Yamaha wants him to ride the new bike more. I bet AC wants the break after doing a 31 race season. Sure is a big change up from the last year guys we had racing.

 

The team changes and injuries sure screwed things up. Jason Anderson, orJustin Barcia would have been a better choice than Craig. Craig will not have race fitness. At least Anderson and Barcia would have had some racing under their belts. They probably turned it down also to rest and get ready fo SX.

 

What happened to all the good riders? Is this the C team?

 

The US threw in the towel this year.

 

I've heard rumors that the other factories were not willing to send their guys due to lack of time between when SMX playoffs ends and actually getting to France to get setup, test, and compete for MXdN. I can't imagine coming off a 30+ race season and then immediately flying overseas to compete on different ground. The new SMX format is not sustainable. Our dudes need a break.

 

Grass start oh buddy. More outdoors than an outdoor track. Looks way more MX this weekend.

 

Cool video of the track.

Hunter riding like his old dumb self again moto 2.

Jo is absolutely movin

 

Worst outdoor track of the year.

 

Carmichael

I think he would be better if he would just be himself, stop using big words he can't pronounce, stop trying to be something he's not, talk like he would to his mx buddies and he would be a lot better. I think someone is trying to tell him how he should announce and it just doesn't work.

Worst announcer ever.

I loved the racing though. Go Joe!!

 

Jett and Hunter looked like their usual self this weekend.

Jo was awesome. If he had one more lap I'm sure he would of passed Hunter.

Roczen did well too.

 

Someone needs to tell him that he doesn’t need to be talking for the entire broadcast. He used to be better when he didn’t try to talk nonstop.

 

Jo Shimoda running a stroker motor or what? Dude was flying last weekend!

New job so I missed a lot of hoopla after the event so, Cliff Notes, what was said after 450 2nd moto after Jett let Kenny by? I heard something on Youtube but I'm too lazy to look I guess.

LA Coliseum track looks pretty good on the Yamaha track map and I've always enjoyed the racing there since early SX and the old Mickey Thompson Off Road Series there when Max V.s father and uncle raced. Always loved that elevation change in the track.

 

Jett said something about using his big brain and he figured out he didn’t need to win to get the overall so he let Kenny go by as a gift for his new baby.

 

Triple points this weekend are a little wacky. Whichever one of the top few guys wins will automatically be the champion.
