The final TRIPLE CROWN event for Supercross from snowy Minnesota!  But Eli Tomac and Marvin Musquin heat up the 450s but the big winner was Anderson!  In the 250s Jeremy Martin and Zach Osborne were the big winners of the night.  Austin Forkner and Cooper Web have bad evenings both breaking bones!

In World Superbike round 2 from Aragon it was the Davies/Rea show.   Some great racing but the same guys at the top.

MotoAmerica from Road Atlanta where the 1st women podiums. Jaime Astudillo places 3rd in the 2nd Juniors race.  Toni Elias wins both Superbike events in very wet/rainy conditions.  JD Beach and Hayden Gillim (riding the Rickdiculous Racing Yamaha) split the SuperSports.  OH … and wait till you hear about Josh Herrin  !!!!!!!!!!!

American Pro Flattrack in Atlanta.

Supercross is in soupy soggy Seattle. Plessinger makes a Splash.

MotoGP in Argentina can be it’s own stand alone show today!

No racing this week, but Phil does some benching racing and thoughts as we enter into Round 2 of Flattrack, MotoGp and the post break Supercross Season.

The Rumormill is running strong right now! MotoGP Rumors, BSB News and WSBK Rumors!!!

WSBK hits Thailand, What is going on with everyone there? How are the Americans doing?

Supercross is in Indy, First East West Showdown in the 250’s and an almost Carmichaelesque performance in the 450’s!

WOW…. where do we start…. MOTOGP, Moto2, Flat Track, Daytona 200, Drag Racing, Supercross!!!!!

Hector Arana Jr becomes the 1st to break 200MPH on the Pro Stock Motorcycle tour.

Two red plates going into the 250 Supercross final, but only one comes out!  Phil was cheering Austin Forkner to get into a fight….WHAAAA?

Eli Tomac dominated the night but it is still Jason Anderson’s Championship to lose!  What is going on with Money Marvin Musquin?   OH, and Phil has a tweet liked by the GOAT!

Flat Track kicks off the season with the Daytona TT!  LOTS of great racing with a bunch of MotoAmerica and wild card racers doing well.  Wonder if Phil still wants to punch JD “Jiggy Dogg” Beach?  JD finished 2nd in the twins!

Oh and then there was MotoGP…. Moto2 was uneventful really but the finish of premier race was AWESOME.  Dovi and Marquez fighting into the last turn and…. tune in to hear!

A few weeks ago Phil wanted to punch JD “Jiggy Dog” in the face.  To day he is much happier, now that JD is going to race at a couple different Flat Track stops!  Speaking of Flat Track maybe our discussion of Alta and Harley last week has inspired someone…. Looks like Alta/Harley(?) might be putting a bike into Supercross soon!  Singing “I always feel like somebody’s watching meeeeeeeeeeeeee”

OH and  American Flat Track starts it’s season at Daytona this Thursday!

We talk some MotoGP because MotoGP starts their season at Qatar this weekend!  We discuss how the pool is set up and how Moto2 is wide open for someone new to jump up.

Supercross raced in Daytona with a first time winner in the 450s! Can Marvin Musquin get a break?  Eli Tomac is looking awesome… but to little to late it looks like.

Harley invests in an electric motorcycle company.

Phil has a genius idea.

Tech 3 will be heading to KTM. Warren called it.

Supercross commits a superblunder.

Supercross returns to Tampa and there was some fun racing in both 250 and 450 classes!  The track was a major player in the racing the sand section was the whoops run and impacted more then a few of the racers.  We have nick named one of the riders Spider-Man, listen to find out who.

Phil and Warren are also calling for a Women’s Division in Supercross.  We recommend dropping the LCQs for 2 women’s heats and adding a women’s main!  Make it happen!!!

World Superbike held it first round of 2018 at Phillips Island, AU.  Perianal winner Rea did not do as well as expected but better than might have expected due to having the flu.  With the way the Motorcycles were performing it looks like we could have more than a few different race winners this season.  The Ducati’s and Kawasaki’s seem to be more on par then last year.

Big Changes coming to MotoGP, how about Tech 3 becoming KTM or Suzuki?

World Superbike starts soon! The pack does not think that he rules changes that attempt to limit Rea are actually going to have any impact on the outcome of the season.

In MotoGP, we do not believe the hype that Jorge Lorenzo is the fastest guy around! Phil is willing to put his money and time on the line if you are!!!

Supercross is in Arlington the “Beast that is the East” steps up to bring us 250 action. Eli Tomac is on rails and no one could catch him!

Epic hate for the makeup2mud moments on Supercross Live.  BUT, we offer a suggestion… drop the LCQs and replace them with Heats for the Female division of Supercross!!!

We talk about the Supercross from San Diego!!!

There was some wild racing action on a very tight track.  The layout forced some hard racing both in the 250 and 450s!  That tight track resulted in some of the most aggressive passes of the season, most were all just part of the race but not all.  The biggest event of the night was Ken Roczen crashing into Copper Webb just after Webb had executed a hard but fully straight up pass.  Roczen was not going to have any of that and tried to retake his position with a hard pass of his own.  BUT, Phil and I think that his injuries from last season prevented him from controlling the motorcycle and CRASH, BANG, BOOM!

Roczen gets the worse of the feud with a broken hand and out of the race.   Webb had some real damage to his bike but managed to stay in the race but finished near the bottom.  Turns out that Webb and Roczen have some real hard feeling that have even spread to the social media.  What are they feuding about…a girl of course!  Turns out that Webb is dating Roczen’s ex… opps.

OH… and we talk about the racing to just not the crashes (like Boggle acting as a aircraft carrier landing strip).

Stay Classy San Diego!
