ANAHEIM 2 ANIMATED TRACK MAP: Who Is Your Pick

This is the track map for Anaheim 2 and it looks pretty technical so leaving that not it i time to find out who everyone top 3 picks are. The 450 class have been the best racing I have seen in years and there are a lot of fast racers this year in my opinion probably the most talented field ever to race together. What I mean by that is there are so many people that could win it is hard to decide. So I am going to make my prediction for this week. I thin the top 3 in order are going to be James Stewert sitting in first, Ryan Villipoto will take second place, and Ryan Dungey will end up in third. I am just looking for a new winner this week having three different winners the first three races. So let me here your picks who do you think is going to win this week.

AT HOME WITH JUSTIN BARCIA: GOPRO HERO 3+

Getting prepared for the new year takes countless hours of hard work, and the top riders in the sport have preferred locations where they turn laps. Team Honda Muscle Milk’s Justin Barcia retreated to his spread in rural Georgia, where a number of Supercross and motocross courses are laid out on the plot of acres, and clicked off as many laps as he could before the Anaheim One opener. What’s it look like to take on a private course on a factory bike? See for yourself in this GoPro video, courtesy of Team Honda. Just click the link below.

KASPER LYNGGAARD, RIP: Another Lost Rider

January 10, 2014
We are sad to report of the passing of Kasper Lynggaard, a motocross racer from Denmark who was killed this afternoon during practice at the Dortmund Supercross in Germany. According to several Europe-based websites, Lynggaard, who rode for the Danish team in the 2013 Motocross of Nations in Germany, was practicing in Dortmund when he crashed in the whoops. His heart apparently stopped at the moment of impact with the ground, and despite the best efforts of paramedics on the scene, he could not be revived.

Chase Field, Race Number 2: Brayton Was that For Real

Well I did not know what to expect going into this race with so many talented stars to pick from. But one stood out at the end of the race that not many people would have picked yeah Thats right Justin Brayton just another talented supper cross rider that just rose to the top. Was this just a fluke or Justin going to give some stiff competition to the already list of probably the most talented class of 450 riders ever to race. Everyone is expecting Ryan Villipoto to steel the show and everyone knows he can, but I have to give thumbs up to Justin Brayton for staying right there Ryan Villipoto to the end. I would have never expected for Justin to Hold off Dungey, but I was wrong once again. Well until next week we will just have to see if Justin just had an exceptional night or if he will make another podium. I know for sure that all the Yamaha fans are happy, and I must admit I really like seeing new faces put themselves on the podium. So you fans tell me do you think out was just a fluke or is Brayton going to be someone to recon with.

WHO IS THE GREATEST MOTOCROSSER OF ALL-TIME?

I think that was a matter of opinion up until Ricky Carmichael dominated the sport. Then came along James Stewart who they called the fastest man on the planet. Now you have Ryan Villipoto who seems to be winning all the titles if he is not injured. All of the old school fans still like Roger DeCoster, While most think Jeremy McGrath is by far the greatest Supercross rider of all time. The Australians of course are going with Chad Reed while the Europeans are going with Stefan Everts. So tell me who is your greatest motocrosser of all time. I know there are a lot but I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW.

DO FACTORY RIDERS CHEAT?

Yes. However, they believe that their interpretation of the rule book is on the legal side of dishonest. The AMA has never been willing to put any teeth into the Production Rule and as a result the gray areas are so great you could go to the starting line with Art Arfons Green Monster rocket car and still fall within the AMAs definitions of production. The factory teams are cheating--at least in the spirit of the law. By the letter of the law they aren't breaking any rules.
This is a great little article I read in motocross action magazine thought you would all enjoy, and tell me what you think, are the factory rider's cheating.
