yeah man, Townley is a hero over on Mototalk right now. Everybody is talking about that kid. Mad props for staying that close to RC.Akula_7 said:Just watched it live on TV, was great, the track was not the best i've ever seen but there was some great racing and fantastic passing, stand-out man for me was Ben Townley, ripper, I hope he tears it up in the US next year.
Congrats to all you yanks, a totally deserved win, that little ginger fella is untouchable! World's greatest racer-----probably.

trialsmasta said:We don't get much GP coverage in the US but Isn't Everts faster than Townley? If Townley is racing in the "lites" stupid name for the "MX2" which is another stupid name for thr 125cc class he's going to have his hands full with Hepler, Short and and much as I hate to say it Langston and Alessi. Either way it should be an awsome race season. But if hes hanging with RC (despite the course probably looking like a roadbike track) Lites class better bring their A game.

oh, that's why I don't know about it..I refuse to learn from my mistakes or take training or riding advise....I like living oblivious...Acadian said:extra set of clear goggle lens tapped to the tip of his visor.
Peaty was explaining this in Fundamentals (i.e. tips for racing in the mud/rain)
I don't think Alessi has a temper like Hughes, Alessi is just a straight up asshole. Rhyno is just old school, Bob Hanna style. Hughes is an outstanding citizen of the MX community. He gets mad props from me.James | Go-Ride said:Alessi = Rhyno part II, perhaps: super fast with a wicked temper and questionable ethics on the track when things get hot. Fitting and ironic that mister "Believe the Hype" should pull that stunt at Hughes' last race.
Haha yeah, you've got a couple of valid points there.trialsmasta said:I don't think Alessi has a temper like Hughes, Alessi is just a straight up asshole. Rhyno is just old school, Bob Hanna style. Hughes is an outstanding citizen of the MX community. He gets mad props from me.
Then Mike shoudl get Tony under control. Bubba and RC both had win at all costs mentallity, but I don't recall Ricky standing on Jeremy's bike in any motos.ChrisKring said:Alessi is under intense pressure from his dad. I don't think he would be such a jerk without his dad around telling him to win at all cost.
I see it everytime I race MX. Last weekend for example, Fat dad is yelling at son (8-10 year old) for not hitting the kid in front of him to pass him. He was dropping f-bombs left and right. The kid was crying.
The same dad was yelling at the older bother (10-12 years old) at an arenacross race I was racing at last winter for not doubling a jump in practice. The kid was crying since the dad was going crazy. First moto the kid went out and did it and crashed resulting in a broken arm. While they were packing up, the kid was crying and telling his dad he knew he couldn't do it. The dad called him a pu$$y. The mom stepped in at this point and told the dad to lay off. She then got slapped. The dad was then ejected from the place. I wanted to see him in cuffs. Anyway, some moto-dads are as bad as soccer or football dads. It is not as frequent, however it does exist.
While Alessi should not have done it, I can see what lead up to it. Mike will get his act together once the KTM people can get him away from daddy.
People thought Hansen was the same way. I have talked with him several times and he is a very nice kid.
Uhh, Mike is not 18. There is no controlling Tony. That guy has burnt bridges all over the place for his kids.James | Go-Ride said:Then Mike shoudl get Tony under control. Bubba and RC both had win at all costs mentallity, but I don't recall Ricky standing on Jeremy's bike in any motos.
