Message: [QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1254655, member: 18302"] That's overly harsh. I thought they did a fine job last night, especially considering it was the first race of the season and it was live. Emig has improved quite a bit as an announcer and Jamie Little is excellent as always in the pits. Any network that will show a great Lites LCQ in its entirety is fine with me. The one thing I did not like was the 'who was better - RC or MC' segment. Clearly MC was better at SX, and RC had the better overall combined MX & SX career. FWIW, Mike Alessi finished 6th, or nine places better than former Suzuki rider Tedesco. Ivan had a bad break at the start (I think it was he who rear ended Bubba, taking them both down). I think Tedesco is very fast and will fight with Ferry, Windham, Langston, Mike Alessi and maybe Andrew Short over 3rd - 5th place at most of the races. Jeff Alessi finished 17th I think. Looks like Reed and Bubba are very close again, but I'll give the edge to Bubba. Those two will be gapping the field all season long, especially on technical tracks like A1. Injuries, crashes and mechanical DNFs (if any) will likely decide the season. As for the up and comers, they are in the Lites class where they belong (lapping Brock Hepler, BTW). Lawrence and Dungy are very good, Stroupe will get better and we have not even seen the East Coast Lites class yet. There is a great crop of young riders out there this year. Metcalfe had a bad result last night and he's not so young anymore, but he could also run up front. [/QUOTE]
