Haven’t missed watching a round since 01. 
 

Tracks have never been this bad. 
 

RC continually gets a pass for being the GOAT despite his (and I can’t stress this enough) terrible annunciation and commentary skills. My non moto friends could not stand 5 minutes of his commentary.
 

The riders interviews are robotic.
 

I understand this sport is for diehards but it’s never been so hard to be a diehard.
 

now for the outdoors and this smx shite.

RC is not good, but I think I've noticed some minor improvement over the past couple years.  It should be Weege and RC every week, with RC coached to let Weege do 80% of the play by play.

When he talked to Anderson, when he said MC 72 wins is a goal good to have ?

Have you not noticed his demeanour since the incident, he's been half way RV style ever since.

It doesn't matter if dangerzone is cringe or not its still outside of the normal which apparently we want but shit on it when it happens, now you got deegan doing his best dungey impression.

Jett saying that wasn't "showing personality", people got mad because it came across arrogant and the riders took it that way too.  Which he is.  And for Deegan we probably haven't seen much personality because he hasn't been doing much in a season they were hopping to win the championship...

There's a difference between I'm going to beat McGrath 72 wins and 72 wins is a goal of mine.

US bias is all it is ( not all but the majority ) if Tomac won for example there would be no complaints it would be amazing , because the brothers walked it it’s ‘boring’ , plenty of passing opportunity’s look at chase .

So true, people are focused on waiting for the announcers to slip up or stutter. I was locked into the racing and don’t recall any mishap with the announcers. But I bet if I watched back and purely listened out for it I’d find issues. Peoples narrative really messing with their own racing experience.

How is it that the whole world could understand ”72 wins is a GOAL” while a whole English speaking country couldn’t?

Look at my original post.

5 minutes into the main my non moto friends said the commentary was unlistenable. 
 

if you think RC is fit to be the voice of our sport

youre accepting mediocrity.

I'm old enough to remember a time when my american fellas were proud of e-ve-ry-thing in their country -even when it was a load of crap- and we made fun of them about that.

Now this place is turning into a french forum: anger, complaints and whining all the time about almost everything. And mostly about things that many other people around the world would be more than happy to get.

My advice, Wix: be french till the end, go on strike.

Your non moto friends, the type of people to not be locked into the actual race? Of course they’re the ones most likely to pick up on it. I’m okay with it being mediocre, not everyone feels that he needs to piss excellence. He grew up racing bikes and is the GOAT, that was his thing. People would soon moan if he chose to stop announcing all together & had nothing to do with the sport. Have to take the rough with the smooth sometimes

Just like you.

Still, TBH, there was a heat where we had great racing on screen and RC was totally lost in explaining things most of us already know and others don't give crap about while his fella (who was it yesterday, Diffey?) was trying to talk about what was actually going on. The GOAT didn't let him interupt his speech and went on and on...

By the way, I'm always amazed by some tech insights RC gives: while every privateer has a remapped ajustable ECU, RC told us that apart from factory teams, the only thing you can do to tune your power delivery is changing sprockets, à la MXA. That was fun. 

RC actually makes you appreciate "The science of Supercross"...

Yes everyone understands its his goal, nothing hard to understand there.  All I said was people took it as arrogance, what is so hard to understand there?  Did I not at all.  He's said some arrogant stuff this year but that wasn't some it.
