    Too bad. I would have liked to see him finish out the gp season. It would have been cool if he could have won the championship. Ohhh well, life goes on.

    I don't know if it's the way it's televised or the announcing or what, but mxgp doesn't have the same appeal to me as ama racing. Without Villapoto, it's hard for me to stay interested.

    I'm just the opposite.... AMA racing seems boring and MXGP is a lot more exciting to me. The passion is obviously gone, so good luck to him. I hope they don't give him a job, as an announcer for AMA SX/MX telecasts...

    I like both but for different reasons. I looooooove the great outdoors but there's a lot to be said for MXin the "old country". Gives it a classic feel.

    I dunno. Not as personable as Langston or Emig.

    Emig was horrible and deer in the headlights for the first few years. IT is not as EZ as it looks. Langston is good.
