Pour les anglophones, un petit édito de Matthes repris sur MXvice…

Limpide quoique peu surprenant.

« The news dropped late Wednesday here in the USA. Despite previously saying he would be in, Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Eli Tomac announced that he’s withdrawing from the upcoming Motocross of Nations. It is a big blow to the USA team that was expected to be Tomac, Yamaha’s Cooper Webb (450) and Alex Martin on the 250.
American fans have a right to scratch their head at a seemingly healthy, mega-fast rider like Tomac saying “no thanks” to one of the most prestigious races of the year and also the injured Ryan Dungey presumably saying no thanks to MXoN yet able to race the SMX Cup in Germany one week later. The American racers do twenty-nine races in thirty-three weeks starting in January and if you peruse the entry list for this weekend’s national, you can see that Dungey, Trey Canard, Jason Anderson, Cole Seely, Broc Tickle, Blake Baggett, Justin Bogle, Christophe Pourcel and probably some more I’m missing aren’t lining up  this weekend because of injury. This sport chews them up like no other, there’s no doubt about that. Why are we adding more races?

It’s the sign of the times that the energy drink sponsors and OEM’s determine what is important these days and not, say, the history of the sport. In my opinion, Tomac had enough of essentially being forced to race two meaningless USGP’s and said enough is enough. Team USA is worse off for the decision, but maybe someone at the green claw company gets the memo that the MXoN is perhaps a tad more important than two races where there’s nothing at stake and the rider doesn’t want to be there?

The riders I’ve spoken to that have been forced to ride the USGP’s have made various comments about hoping they have or acquire an injury so they don’t have to go. There’s enough racing in America with the twenty-nine races, the Monster Energy Cup, the Red Bull Straight Rhythm (just so you know that Monster isn’t the only bad guy here) without Youthstream and Monster pushing the GPs onto American fans that, trust me, don’t care.

One top trainer used the word “forced” about going to these races. Another top rider that’s racing the two USGP’s told me the energy drink companies are “out of hand”. It seems that the only people happy about these extra American races are the people who profit and, here’s a hint, it’s not the ones putting on the shows.

Let’s review here. The energy drink companies give the OEM’s money and demand they do “their races” like the Monster Cup or USGP’s, the OEM’s give the riders money and demand they do “their races” like the SMX Cup and the twenty-nine USA races and then the riders want some money so they do “their” races like Lille, Geneva etc. The race that pays basically nothing and is just a pride thing like the MXoN is the big loser here.  Things are changing in this world and I, for one, don’t like it one bit. »

Au moins ça rassure que les fans de MX aux USA partagent notre frustration. Le SMX à la con va finir par avoir un plus beau plateau que le MXoN 

O tempora…

Martin je voudrais te faire remarquer qu’il est désobligeant de s’attaquer aux animaux ou de les utiliser comme tu le fais ;-)))

Oui, c’est vrai..

Ce smx est donc un nouveau produit qui va faire concurrence au mxdn et les tops le bouderont …

Que les boissons énergisantes financent, oui c’est évident

Que les marques imposent des courses « gratuites » à leurs riders, c’est autre chose
