Has it started? I thought it was 8:00 est and it keeps sailing coverage will begin shortly on the app.
I admire BD for setting himself and his kid up for success. The kids done well being under the microscope and I think he will find his own way. Apparently the kids driven like nobodies business so hopefully he does what we all hope and raises the game for everyone.
Watching it on my phone sitting in my hammock in my ground blind. The positive note is my rifle is the equivalent of at least a very good factory supported team. Negative :my skill is such I’m a mid pack novice on a well built superbike, and it’s wet out
That aint racing. Dylan Ferandis said it best in post race interview. Track is unrideable, this is just survival. When will Feld finally ONLY take these events to an enclosed stadium? This is not racing. Ski
This isn't entertaining at all, nor is it racing. They are beating up bikes and destroying gear. It's just stupid is what it is.
Definitely a mess. Mud is part of racing. I will say that if I were a privateer and not good in the mud there is no way I’d be out there. Lots of rebuilding on these bikes next week. The only alternative is to cancel so may as well race. If it keeps raining it may actually get better.
This is getting a bit stupid. I do laugh at the “visors” they use these days. They point up so much they are completely useless in the mud. Back in the day (yes I’m old..) we’d tape a clear lens to extend the visor and it actually worked pretty well to protect visor.
They cancelled a round last year for rain. why not this round? As @brex said... just stupid. Remember a few years ago when they tried to add a chemical drying agent to the dirt, then it rained like tonight, and a lot of the riders were chemical burned... Again, JUST PLAIN STUPID. Ski
