In direct contradiction to my low flying ways, another example of a PRO MX rider flying and his feet are not on the pegs ... His levers might be uncovered also.

Max sounds AOK in that interview ... Race 15 over there with 2 more races to go ... Incontrast, the states have finished the SX season and the MX season and these guys have 2 more races? ... I do like how someone with a ~brain figured out how to get the USA guys to race a MXGP or at least remove one of the reasons on why not to race with their scheduling... Our riders even get time off before the USA GP ... Only one yr watching this and it looks pretty obvious their months long racing season allows enough time between races that these guys over-do-it to themselves trying to get back into the racing ... Our weekly schedule just does not leave enough free time to attempt a return to the same season in most cases ... Their 2 day format probably goes against their injuries ... Nobody wants a day of pain qualifying and then follow it up with a 2 race day ... With that said, they also take drugs for pain... EU is not the USA in this racing ....
