CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "Cairoli may be the best ever—still winning after all these years…" Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com. Published letters do not necessarily reflect the position of Cycle News. Letters should not exceed 150 words and are subject to editing. Anonymous letters won't be considered for publication and each letter should contain the writer's name, address and daytime phone number… Editor P6 Champ Again: Antonio Cairoli In a world of trash talking ath- letes, motocross is one of the few where mutual respect is the status quo. Congrats to Tony, he's such an amazing cham- pion and never seems to be out of touch with any track and has the persona of a rock star but the class of hero. Gregory Eddinger Cairoli may be the best ever— still winning after all these years, still committed to the training, and [still having] the motivation to be a World Cham- pion is amazing. Al Banta Bogle To JGR Suzuki I like Justin Bogle; good to see he has a ride next year. Hopefully he can stay upright and haul the mail. His consis- tency and speed are bound to come to play soon. Hopefully, this is his time. Jerome Britting Williams Grove Half Mile Williams Grove had to be Bryan Smith's worst nightmare. First his Indian didn't have the speed to match Briar Bauman's Kawa- saki in the semi, a bike Smith was instrumental in develop- ing. Then while struggling to pass Jake Johnson's Harley, a simple flop snapped his handlebar in half. As someone said, "If Smith's bike had a door he would have slammed in it." James Edward Zeiser Empire of Dirt— Eli Tomac I think for Tomac, bike setup wasn't quite there yet and the pressure became massive after the Supercross season, be- cause he had to give Kawasaki the outdoors championship. So, after this stressful year, Eli knows he needs a break to regroup, that's why he rejected the Motocross of Nations be- cause he wants to rest. He deserved the champion- ship because he earned it. Victor Guerrero Jaramillo I believe Ken Roczen may bring the nerves back to Tomac. I watched Roczen ride last weekend and I believe he will be back to 100%, maybe not at A1 but for sure 2018 outdoors. See you at the races! Chris Cooksey
