Although I love the lcqs and privateers I get where he’s coming from. I like the idea of 22 factory riders at every race and anyone not on those rides have another series they can race. It does make Sx more like other sports. It’ll never happen tho, the sport does not like change
@therm0cline
Saw this. What about the factory riders brought up from youth? Are they shoe ins and get the skip the Arenacross? Is the backup rider just always another factory brought up guy? Kinda leaving the privateers stuck in AX? Idk
Dude literally said “Fuck Privateers” and walked it back saying it was hyperbole. Easy for him to say sitting behind a mic in fucking Dubai. Paid for by the sport and riders he is telling to fuck off. What a tool.
How about this. We run a stock class and fill it with privateers so they have a league to race AND they still get to race on Saturdays. Better than sending them to a Minor league no one watches.
@APsMullet
Or they make the mains 11 guy max and give 12-22 their own shorter main. Or basically call that the LCQ. Having fewer guys in mains would make it a lot easier to watch in stadium
@APsMullet
Where didn’t he say that? (And a time stamp would be handy)
Haven’t been near any of his content since I heard about it so really need to go listen to it to really get the context
@APsMullet
Personally, (I've been saying this for a while now)- the privateers need their own shindig to shine on the big stage of SX. This could easily be achieved in a pretty straight forward way. Jace was overly blunt about the situation & could have worded it better, but had some points
@APsMullet
I get what he's saying but I'm not sure if he realized Feld did at 1 time own the AX series and found it not to be worth it. So we only have SX and MX for the elite guys. I don't think his vision is sustainable, financially. But I get where he is coming from.
@APsMullet
-Knock SX down to a 15rd series
-Combine 250 coasts to run for 10rds for 1 complete SX title
-Take privateers for the final 5 rounds (since main 250 class championship will be finished by rd 10) & let them duke it out for their own championship for the final 5 for a $100k+ payout
