Morning Steemers,
So i have recovered, almost, from my 500 mile round trip to Old Trafford yesterday Steemit | Busy and I am ready for some MXoN action!
Unfortunately it has been raining big time at RedBud and it's looking like the even will yet again be a mudder... This is a shame as RedBud is a great track and in the dry this would have been some epic all out speed action. That being said the mud is a great equalizer though and this will certainly even up the field. There is nothing easy about riding a bike in heavy mud, it weighs the bike down, over heats it and gives the rider little feedback as to what is going on under the wheels. That is without going into the difficulty and technique neede to go fast in deep mud, that is 100 percent rider skill.
Speaking of technical riders, let's check out how Germanys Ken Roczen deals with the slop in his first practice lap.

I can tell you now as a rider that was a seriously impressive display by Roczen and i have no idea how he is carrying so much speed through a track that technical and treacherous! If that is any indication as to how he will be riding the main event then watch out people, Germany are coming!
Let's check out how home USA rider Justin Barcia handles the track, this time we also get to enjoy the slop in full 360 action :)
