• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

unbeatable is a very heavy word.....kinda like unsinkable........strong with flush faced new champions yes, unbeatable no. (but they still have a great chance to win of course)
 
Excluding MM25 who JM1 whipped ~every time this yr as needed on his way to his 2nd 250 MX championship, the other 2 French riders have each other being on the same team and homecourt\practice time on their side ...Fabvre is their champ, a rookie 450 rider ... Didn't see his name on the 014 dN race so not sure what his history is; Paulin went 1-1 last yr here on a different brand bike and finished well behind the rookie for 2nd this yr in the FIM racing ... With all due respect, neither seem like an totally dominate rider, such as AC222 or Nagl was showing before his injury. Nothing says JB51 can't whip them both, twice ... AC222 finished 40th in a moto last yr so the race is as open as that first corner after the gates drops.

Here's the MXGP points scoring to date with each rider ...Looks a little weird with the empty slots..AC222, Nagl, DeSalle all went down during the yr...looks a little like the AMA 450 racing where our top riders are missing also..

Nagl can win the USGP overall and both his motos at the MXoN ... We'll see how he looks in MEX this weekend.

I'd say that Febvre has been THE dominant rider in mxgp this season. Out of 34 motos so far this year he has won 14 of them. Cairoli and Nagl combined have 10 moto wins. He has posted 1-1 moto scores at 4 different GP's this year. Cairoli and Nagl combined have 1.

Febvre finished 3rd in the 250/mx2 championship last year on a Husky.
 
I'm certainly not trying to take anything away from their champion Fabvre but his wins are coming after the top riders over there have gotten hurt during the season... He's going down as the rookie who finally beat AC222 and that's not easy on any yr with their racing ... Maybe he is the second coming but we might have to wait till next yr to find out as the top guys are still recovering ... AC222 arm was black not too long ago and I really doubt he wants to race anymore this yr... I'm still riding with Max who at least has been on the track lately..

RV2 was racing early also ... he might have gotten hurt first ...

Here's the bottom turn when they landed ..

I gotta add this Fabvre is a young guy also who is winning all their races ... He expects to win this Sunday ... If Nagl or JB51 do not beat him, I'm not sure who can ...
 
I agree, Febvre has done the bulk of his winning since Cairoli and Nagl have dropped out from injury. He did manage to get 3 moto wins before they both dropped out though. Cairoli and Nagl each had 5 moto wins in that same stretch.
 
And DeSalle ... He was pushing Nagl for the red plate before his injury and was picked to maybe de-throne AC222 in the preseason... AC222 never really got going on the 350 this yr and then got hurt for the second and final time on the 4fitty after he switched over ... It'll be a little interesting to see what size bike he rides next yr ... I'm with Nagl next yr also and whoever rides a Husqvarna...

Ya, I like DeSalle. Seems like a cool dude and his rides here in the US have been impressive. I'd love to see him win a championship, but every year it's the same story. He has the speed to challenge for a title, but an injury always derails his season.
 
DaSalle might have had the points lead during the opening part of the season...He was not winning races but always on the podium pretty much ... Then crash and out ... AC parking the 350 says something but I'm not sure what really ...

This is the QUAL race where the screen shots above were made from ... Really cool looking but small track ... This was still 350 AC222... RV starts making his move to the front at about the 18:00 mark..

Max in the states for the USAGP. The MEX race was his 3rd race back since his injury ... Finished well off the front in a mud race ... Not sure if he is still recovering from the injury or what...

I'm still with this Husky rider but if anyone can get a message to him before the EOD, let him know it's OK to cool his jets slightly till next yr ... In any event, I'll be tilting a couple redHorses his way also today ...
