Motocross of Nations

No. Oh, Paul Cooper.

Paul Revere going for United Nation.

Oh, there you go.

MXON.

The United Nation.

Whatever.

Sounds great.

the season would just be over.

So if you're a fan, would you rather watch the race in Columbus on Peacock this Saturday or Ironman was the last race of the year, watch Motocross Nations in a few weeks and be done? Of course, they're going to prefer something over nothing.

Riders and teams, they got a bigger bill to pay to go watch this stuff than just five bucks a month on Peacock.

Yeah, there's a lot of mechanics and team personnel that at the SMX Series, they're burnt out.

We will talk about that.

There's Team USA Motocross of Nations announcement news.

And oh, by the way, we'll talk about the guys who won the races at Ironman, which is Julian Bomaire and Jorge Prado.

But let's put the focus back on the new 450 Pro Motocross champion.

kid now it's come full circle where you know it's it's arguable that hunter has surpassed jet and and yes injuries yes there are extenuating circumstances as to why but in the end Hunter was standing there holding the trophy, and he might be standing there holding the trophy again in a few weeks' time

in Ridgedale, Missouri.

Let's go to Motocross of Nations.

There's so much news this weekend with Tomac and these titles and all that, but we've got to mention this.

He has to.

Because the very next week after the finale, he's going to be flying across the ocean and going to race this Husky for the Motocross of Nations.

And then the week after that, he's racing it in World Supercross, which he absolutely wants to win in the UK.

So in the middle of all this, he's outdoor testing.

Okay, I guess, excuse me, pertinent news.

MX of Nations craziness.

Poor Sebastian Racine can't make it.

They announced just yesterday, I think it was, the Taylor Award.

I actually don't even really know who to talk to to get this, but I did talk a little bit more about the KTM going over to priority, and that definitely seems like it's going out of the way.

There were some conversations at Ironman about that.

They're just kind of waiting to... finalize a few things and now this is again put i put a little bit more on the back burner now the priority is sending tanner over to mx of nations so this might not happen again for a while but in saying that both quinn and tanner have a deal uh moving into next year newf cole pranger out in out or in

i mean i don't know enough about this but you're just like

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, exactly, and I mean the fact that he did ultimately back it up with one at Yamaha, and yes, it's still, when you look at his career totals, 450 Supercross title specifically, maybe isn't as high as it could have been and should have been, but everything else he kind of accomplished towards the end, again, more with Pro Motocross, Motocross of Nations, another Supercross Yamaha, all those, yeah, kind of just makes you forget, because again, you say that right now, and It's hard to remember that he holds.

Is he tied for the record of most wins for a season for not winning a title? Is that the one, I guess you would say, bad statistic he holds? I

don't know.

arguably even better just lacking the title that to me made a bigger impact than the cowie period perhaps because i put more value on supercross when i do outdoors also but what stands out to you

um i agree with you and then a little bit of split it is weird to say is the cowie generation even though it holds the most titles correct because of the outdoors training plus for you.

I agree that 22, 23 Yamaha will by far be burnt into my mind, especially being an American, being at 22 motocross of nations, being literally there as part of the celebrations on his bike at one point, all that like that is ingrained in my mind and will be forever.

Um, the, the, the guy, the late Geico era and the first Honda 450 era is second to that, um, over the Cowie period, just because of course the anomaly, um, that was the, was it 16? What was the 450 year that he almost basically beat Dungy by a man of hang time? Was that 16? 15.

It's actually more recent than that, and he didn't even win.

Motocross of Nations 2024? 2024.

Yes, 2024.

Matterley Basin in England.
