“It’s not really about being professional or whatever. It’s just I’m working really hard. I know what I do every day, every morning when I wake up. If he beats me, I know he’s doing the same and working as hard as I do, so I have respect for that.”
Monster Energy/Yamalube/Star Racing Yamaha’s Dylan Ferrandis says his handshake with rival Adam Cianciarulo after the Unadilla National wasn’t about being professional/Post-race Pulpcast interview with Steve Matthes
“The task is serious. We’re racing in European sand, a real sandbox. But these guys are going to put in 100 percent effort. We’re going to go over and put in a lot of testing. It’s going to be very tough, but we hope to be competitive.”

Maximus Vohland, who is nearly 5’10”, on cramming himself behind the bars of a Supermini during his Loretta’s podium speech
“I’m just going to tell you straight-up my personal opinion where I feel that comes from. That’s coming from Eli and John Tomac saying ‘Take the heat, because we don’t want to take the heat.’ That’s my personal opinion. He don’t want to do it. He runs Kawasaki just like Roczen runs Honda. So they said, ‘We don’t want to do it.’”

“I just think it’s horrible timing for our guys. Again, they’re great. They should be able to adapt and go and do that. What’s in it for the riders? It’s your country. I get that. I totally understand that. Don’t get me wrong. But with all these other events coming up, it’s bad timing.”
Damon Bradshaw on the MXoN/PulpMX Show
“Maybe days like today when I get a big gap of over 30 seconds in the second moto people can say it’s boring. But they also don’t show me on the TV! Every time I watch the race back, it seems like I am never on TV. I think a maximum of two laps each time.”

“WADA YOU DOING HERE?”
Privateer Cade Clason’s butt patch in his return to Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross after nearly two years at the 2019 Unadilla National
“Unadilla is the perfect location to celebrate Suzuki’s rich motocross history with this special graphics on our RM-Z race bikes. Riders who have won championships on the Suzuki brand make up a who’s who list of motocross royalty and this weekend we pay respect to every one of them. The 1970s is really when motocross exploded in the United States so we’re excited to run a design inspired by that amazing era.”

“I had a zoot suit for the Crusty Demons premiere when I was 12, but that didn’t fit anymore.”
It appears Travis Pastrana has only owned two suits in his life, but he needed a new one when he and his family were officially invited to the White House for a visit
“I was hoping my doctor and therapist didn’t see that picture, because I doubt they would understand after telling me not to put a lot of my own weight on it.”

“I walked into my local breakfast spot yesterday and Jason was there and we actually had breakfast together.”
Cole Seely had buried the hatchet with Jason Anderson a while ago after their well-known on-track battles dating back to their contentious championship fight in 2014, but the peace treaty was finalized over a chance meeting and a shared meal last month
