Motor-sickle Racing (MX/SX, GNCC, MotoGP, Hard Enduro, SBK, etc)

I'm fully expecting Jett to smoke everyone on 450's and Deegan to do the same on 250's.

Prado is obviously a great rider, but I think Sexton will make the Kawi work well (until he loses mental acuity and wads it up on the track).

When is the last time somebody won on a Kawi?

Prado is great but I think he has a problem adjusting to the jap bike and aluminum frame. I’m also curious how much the rules for mxgp with not having to be production based helped him there
 
Jo!!!

Some good 250 racing! Curious if Deeg's is hurt, or if he just gave up after the contact, knowing he was either going to get in trouble? If he isn't hurt, surprised he wouldn't keep going to just get the SMX money.

Edit. Broken collar bone. The replay did look like his shoulder wasn’t sitting flat

Yep, awesome for Shimoda! If Deegan had just raced Shimoda hard, that would have been one thing, but with what he was doing, he got what he deserved. If you watch the replay, he didn’t just bump into Shimoda, he turned the front wheel hard to the right into Shimoda, which is what caused him to slam so hard to the left. Another big win for physics!
 
And Jett was just toying around trying to give Hunter the win. Magically pulling a lap 2 seconds faster than the other guys near the end, passing Tomac and within 2-3 seconds of Hunter, only to slow up and give him the win…
 
Man, Deegan is a turd. Just race to the front. Put one good block pass on him while going forward and be done with it. His mouth got him in that position due to all the shit talking he did about Kitchen.

Yea a block pass is one thing. Stopping to let somebody go buy with the sole intent to hit them is shit. Should be more than 5 points.

I want to see him do that to Anderson 😂

Also what is the 3rd head whip with Ryder d before he went down. It makes no sense.
 
I read Sexton was unconscious for a while, then started kicking and flailing his arms when his brain rebooted. Scary stuff.
 
This is funny

Over/Under on whether they start interviewing Deegs next year on the 450 even when he is off the podium? Because Deegs. The shit talk is fun from time to time but this year he just seems like hes been trying too hard to stir it up. But then again, waxing everyone and just going to the next race doesn't get clicks and its a business. Someone like Barcia or Ando will send him to the cheap seats next year if he gets chippy.

GNCC has gotten interesting. There's a bit of a rules/points issue as Grant Davis (XC2) is leading overall points. There has never been an Overall Champ from the XC2 line. In '23, Craig DeLong won the Overall from XC1 even though Stu Baylor had more XC1 class points. This can happen. No big deal. Overall points vs Class points. Have a bad race here or there and finish way down in the top 20 or out of the top 20 but beat the shit out of them at all the other races in class, it can flip flop. Again, the GNCC bike Champion is scored off of overall points. But as the rules say, they don't crown an XC1 Champ and an Overall Champ. Just Overall. XC2 Though does have its own Championship winner. Magically this weekend, Ben Kelley was awarded his XC1 Class Champion plate for '25. It doesn't even exist in the series rules. :laughing:

Oh...and then there's the whole irony of Stu Baylor running a fireman on his graphics this weekend for their Salute to Service weekend then having his RV burn down at the rest area on 77 between the tunnels last night on the way home.

They did the same thing for Jett, they would interview him when he didn't make the podium a fair amount in the early 450 days (if I remember right)


GNCC is wild, what is the point of the XC2 class these days when XC2 is winning overalls just as much as XC1?

I think this is a bit of a one off year. Other than Grant Davis and Josh Toth, the rest of the XC2 class is usually in that usual 5-7 overall and on back depending on the week. Them combining the lines or starting top 20 in points on the front row regardless of class like they have the last two weeks has proved that. I think once Davis is in XC1 things will go back to normal. Nick DeFeo winning Big Buck overall on time and position was really a wildcard of a mud race. He hasn’t been a factor in the top 5 overall again until this week.

Engine Displacement. XC2 is capped at 250cc max two or 4 stroke. XC1 is an open class. Both are technically pro classes but XC2 is intended to really be a feeder to the XC1 premier class. Same as 250/450 SMX.

More dangerous than football. Motocross is deadliest sport for kids

An investigation into 158 youth motocross deaths shows inconsistent safety measures cause preventable fatalities nationwide.

fuck off!

Saw that last night, had a bit of a different take. 158 in 25 years, 1/3 of which are not at an actual track, actually seems remarkably low. 6 per year in a high adrenaline, high risk, high reward sport. Sure, nothing is worth dying for, but those of us who ride know its almost worth it because not much else compares. We should do everything reasonably possible to prevent deaths, but like someone pointed out in the article, 400+ kids per year die in pools, so that's 10,000+ since 2000. Putting stupid stuff beside tracks and poorly trained flaggers need to be addressed, even at a pro-level.
