Clueless Too: Seattle & Trentino

This is a satirical look at some of the bigger (and smaller) talking points from the weekend’s action based on what viewers from around the world are commenting on. Please don’t take it too seriously.

- Sure was nice to be at a motocross track in the sun while it was raining at supercross, for once*

- The one time the timing finish line location actually helps out a rider and people still complain

- I’d like to think Chad Reed knew where it was, but I’m guessing by his reaction, he didn’t

- Not that it actually changed the result, all you complainers out there

- I certainly know a bike that doesn’t burn up a clutch

- Not sure if I’m allowed to mention it by name, though

- If you’re Jorge Prado, you better hope you have a ten-second lead over Thomas Covington when you head into the last lap, or you might as well just pull over and let him through

- But thank you, Mr. Covington, for finally breaking the KTM dominance

- Is there any way to take those Trentino mountains and make them a backdrop to every motocross track?

- Round of applause to HEP Suzuki for nutting up and helping Cedric Soubeyras

- Anyone shocked Aaron Plessinger won a mud race?

- Taking nothing away from him, he smoked the field

- They say that mud is a great equalizer, but the top guys are still the top guys

- Before last year, Antonio Cairoli hated Trentino…I wonder if he’s back to hating it again now

- Gotta be tough for Clement Desalle to get all these podiums without really a sniff of winning

- No doubt if Herlings and Cairoli both suffer DNFs at a round, Romain Febvre and Tim Gajser will sneak in and win

- That’s a reference to him missing out on MXGP titles as well, in case you didn’t notice

- Check out Bas Vaessen’s injury photo to see how much Pirelli’s hook up

- Bet Josh Hill is real glad he came out of retirement for that mud race

- Where was the Factory Rokon team when you needed them?

- Hands up, who doubted Jeffrey Herlings would be anything other than a beast on a 450?

- Because you’re looking pretty stupid right about now

- It’s so awesome to see that corner of Slovenian fans at Trentino every year

- So with Josh Hill coming back for Seattle, what are the chances Ryan Dungey comes back for Minneapolis?

- None

- Okay, worth a shot

*I guess it’s karma for gloating, because the forecast for Portugal next weekend is looking pretty bleak right about now
