Inspired by a somewhat random twitter post, let’s take a look at one stat that’s mostly kinda pretty good at measuring a riders talent and/or potential talent. Dear Star Racing Yamaha, SIGN CHIZ TO A TWO YEAR DEAL IMMEDIATELY. Sincerely,…

Remember when we started the year with 4 different winners and it was the most stacked season ever!? Pretty amazing to look at the stats now and see just 5 different winners. Maybe even more profound is that only Eli…

The last championship battle was all but solidified when Cameron McAdoo was injured on press day in St Louis. While that injury puts a damper on the final championship battle, there’s some other great stories that have emerged this season.…

“Triple Crowns are so much better than a normal race. You need to talk Feld into going to this format for every race… at least a 2 moto format”. That’s the message I got from my cousin and ex-DKNY Husqvarna…

We’ve had some great racing this season. 4 different winners in 4 different rounds in the 450’s. Eli Tomac and Jason Anderson have adapted nicely to their new teams and bikes based on their early results. Cooper Webb and Ken…

We’re back with another installment of all-time rivalries. This time we’re bringing another old school version, Mike Larocco vs. Mike Kiedrowski. It’s not often that you end up with rivals at the peak of their careers on the same team,…

ALL-TIME RIVALRIES: Wardy vs. RJ Who was better – Jeff Ward or Rick Johnson? Anyone that grew up watching or racing moto in the 1980’s remembers epic battles for many years. And for one reason or another, you were likely…

Dylan Ferrandis is the 12th rider (it’s been done 16 times) to stand on the podium every single round and win the 250/450F championship. He could’ve sat back and coasted at the final round, instead, he charged the entire second…

Maybe the most profound statement of the season was Dylan Ferrandis standing on the podium by himself after moto 1 while Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen skipped the podium and immediately jumped in ice baths. You could also argue that…

10 rounds down and 2 to go. Wait – it may be 1 round to go in the 450’s. With his 1-2 for 2nd overall finish, Dylan Ferrandis now has a 50 point lead. If he ties or beats Ken…
