Deegan Hepp only had his gf with him in SF. He was on a stock crf450 with just revalved suspension. Wrapped rear break around the peg in the heat, hammered it back straight best he could before LCQ. Came from 16th-5th with 2 to go and rear brake pedal broke. —continued in replies

These are the privateer stories you rarely hear and are so cool. He’s been living in his van in the Race Tech parking lot, making memories, and chasing his dream before he has to grow up. He’ll never forget the first one

It's completely swept under the rug that Race Day Live is shortened from 4 hrs to 2 and a half clipping coverage of the B/C groups. I wish someday they'd realize that RDL audience is the hardcore fan and we want more riding coverage and not their stupid special interest stories.

With no SX, the real racers should be hopping over to the Arenacross in Prescott, AZ Friday to win some cash. It’s an open class, so 250s or 450s can race.

A huge benefit for riders/teams/sponsors will be Weege's ability to seamlessly roll their names off his tongue when a rider is on screen. Quickly noticeable in the 250 LCQ coverage knowing Stapleton was filling in on AEO and Sanford on Host/Grindstone Kawi.

Passed into 4th without rear brake and made his first ever main. A stranger saw he qualified and washed his bike for him in the stadium while he ran 1.5 miles to get goggles and gas. Lined up with soaked goggles from the run back and no rear brake. Was up to 12th & ended up 17th

I’m losing my mind watching people blaming the track/dirt wurx for the chaos… Webb brain farted a 3 in no one was jumping and caused Sexton to land on him. Anderson tucked the front end after a basic finish double. Let’s not blame the track. Maybe Ferrandis’ issue was track

For the first time since joining KTM, Plessinger is likely the "A" rider at the Baker's factory. He's been good in the mud, but let's not forget how fast he was in the dry at A1. With this said, I think you can look at him at as a real contender and not just as a mud specialist

A glaring issue in grassroots moto racing is too many classes. Four, five, or even six 50cc classes are common now. If e-bikes become common and don’t fit in with gas powered bike classes, it’s going to get way worse.
