Jason Weigandt jumps into the discussion on the FIM Monster
Energy Motocross of Nations, breaking down how the race was won by
Team France (which has now won seven times in the last 10 years),
as well as the performance of Team USA, Ken Roczen and more. This
podcast also contains post-race audio from the Team USA trio of RJ
Hampshire, Aaron Plessinger, and Christian Craig, as well as Roczen
and Team France’s Romain Febvre, Maxime Renaux and Tom
Vialle.
If Team USA doesn’t win, it usually creates heartbreak from
U.S. racing fans, but spirits were different this time because
expectations for the Craig/Plessinger/Hampshire trio were not as
high as for last year’s Cooper/Tomac/Sexton squad. But would just
getting the likes of Sexton and Tomac back on the team in 2024
automatically solve the problem? Weigandt wonders aloud if the 2022
RedBud win is really a sign that Team USA is back, or if the
struggles from 2012-2021 might still remain. Also, he discusses the
recent love for Ken Roczen, and if Team Australia will be able to
get one of these Chamberlain Trophies during the window of the
Lawrence brothers. Much to discuss, and here it is.
