Ferry ripped the hole shot... Then piles up with little Deeg

 

Amateur carnage I can't wait to watch this on my lunch.

 

Nice, all about the sport getting larger. Maybe some better tv next year for mx. This whole mx season has been nothing but illegal YouTube streaming.

 

Going to need to watch this on my laptop. This is too hard to scroll back on my phone.

 

I agree 100%. The tv deal should be unified next year, fortunately. I would imagine itll be an nbc / peacock thing again, if i had to guess.

 

Be nice if it was an all year Peacock TV. Fingers crossed.

250B was a good race. Those announcers are something else. Race starts at 6.16. Loving all the chaos.

Mike Alessi still racing. Can't stop that guy.

 

Friggin Mike Brown is still racing, and won his class!

 

Nice was that senior class or masters? I didn't watch that yet.

 

Yeah, he got the +40 and +50 wins today. I was never a fan of him in the pros, but he still rips a bike.

 

Nice I'll have to catch the old farts races.

Dude was a stud amateur. Sucks that he never reached his potential. Hope he's doing well.

 

Deeg back to looking himself in Schoolboy 2 today. Another day of good amateur racing.

 

1 of our locals (he's the dude I mentioned back when Ferry went to Yamaha. They are teammates - Gavin Towers) beat Rider D in a moto. That's pretty sweet. Happy for him.

 

250B finishers today
1. Dax

Deeg and Dax lookin good for 2023

 

Back in action this weekend for UNADILLAAAAAAAA!!

 

We get Ferrandis, Mookie and Wilson back. So that's exciting. Also, supposedly ClubMX offered McElrath a spot to finish the year out on. So that is a lot better than his original plan of privateer Yamahas lol.

 

Pretty wild how much Privateer has evolved from some 20 years ago. Factory-backed vs true Privateer has so much more distinction now. Remeber Nick Wey? Dude was living the van life for nearly 2 decades before it was cool haha.

 

Ya I think sometimes the lines are blurred about who is a privateer. To me, if you are buying your own bikes (mostly) and doing things on your own, that's a true privateer. Then you have guys who aren't Factory but have some level of team support, like a rider on Firepower Honda etc. Then you have a team like Club MX that is Factory-supported and of course the full-on Factory teams. So Shane went from a (somewhat) Factory support team (at the time -BTO) to no ride. To Factory fill in rider (Husky), then looking to buy his own bikes to do his own thing (privateer) to finishing the year on a Factory support team (Club MX.) Quite a ride in 1 year lol.
