Diffey has been good. And RC is much better with him than Ralph. With Ralph there's just too much bro down all the time. Diffey keeps it professional, respects RC's opinion, but isn't trying to give him a verbal rimjob like Ralph.
I tend to tune out the guys in the booth and concentrate on the racing, but I did hear the following:

"He's currently got a rear end full of Chris Blose"
-RC

That said, RC doesn't seem to be fumbling and restarting his speeches as much, so he's getting better.

In other news, Ralph is coming back this weekend, so expect no less than 2 threads about him before the night of racing is over.

Problem solved.

For those of us that don't get tweaked out about something so trivial as someone saying, "The Red Honda" we'll be enjoying the race.


Yeah cause watching dirt bike races with no audio is awesome.

The last three races without Ralph has given me the impression they are trying to hard and overdoing it..At A1 they said over and over and over how sick webb was and how magical it was he was still alive. Beaaahhaah. Guess i cant really pinpoint what it is,seems a little fake with to much exuberance in their voice allllll the time. Maybe a little nascarreeee all the sudden...please stop that..I Cant wait for Ralph to come back .I think they had a more realistic vibe going on..Thanks for listening. 🇺🇸 After all! this America not Australia...

I'm not a Ralph hater, but Lee is better. The real dream team would be Weege and JT, then Weege and AC, when he retires.

Hire Marv albert style voice, lower baratone voice gets a women’s attention and men wish they had his voice. I did a little Mx race annoucing when you leave the tower, chics are waiting. They say I love your voice, I just had to see what you look like. Look better than a young Richard gere or Matt dillion so all you need a great voice. Ya don,t even need a bike to pull chics.

LOL. Don't forget the track is the 23rd element the guys have to deal with.

Just doesn't feel like SX without Ralph's voice.

That's a good one too ^^ I could keep going:

STEWART IS DOWN, HE JUMPED INTO THE BACK OF NUMBER 47, NUMBER 47 ON A YELLOW SUZUKI
YOU KNOW WHO'S A BIG FAN OF SUPERCROSS, 'OL SEVEN-TIME JIMMIE JOHNSON
AND OF COURSE OUR GOOD BUDDY BRET MICHAELS

I'm going to be in a bad mood by Saturday at 10 PM PST Laughing

It might be for the guys on Vital, but is it really? Because if you check the tweet out, it seems like people are pumped on it. Maybe he's just deleting the negative one's. Laughing

I think that a lot of mistakes have been overlooked that would have been called out if it were Ralph in the booth. Personally I am okay with Ralph and don't think that he deserves all the hate that he gets. He's definitely not perfect, but over the years his voice has become a signal of SX for me. I heard him announcing something else while my son was slipping through the channels a year or so ago and had to have him go back to find it because I instantly assumed it was SX.

Not overly concerned either way, but Diffey wasn't a meaningful upgrade to me.
Agreed. Ralph just "feels" like Supercross to me.

I am for from xenophobic. But there is something weird about having an American race series full of foreign accents. I wonder if it helps or hurts drawing in new fans.

I have been wondering when that one was going to get mentioned here.. Grinning RC has to pick up the slack for Ralph with talk about rear ends and tailpipes.

BTW, I am one of the two people happy to have Ralph back this weekend Cool

Lately It feels like , if this Rider is shown. Insert this phrase
If that rider is shown insert that phrase. Just very predictable.
And reminded me of a rider hitting his marks lap after lap.
But at the same time it's been good, good delivery etc.

I wonder how RC feels about Ralph coming back, compared to working with Diffey.

Of course Ricky sounds better! He hasn't had to deal with Ralph's all-over-the-place ranting, and can actually get a thought out!!! Ricky - improving greatly Diffey - A breath of fresh air and a professional Ralph - same annoying jackass as always Management - If you're listening....PLEASE give Ralph the boot! (my 2 cents)

Clearly you don't actually think...

And you clearly don't understand what "Excellent," means.

Ralph is awful, amateurish, and the broadcast is far worse with him than without. Back to our weekly scheduled Amateur Hour on NBC Sports Gold App.....

Rc has been amazing with Diffey. U watch Ralph comes back and RC will sound awkward again and not gelling together ..
Diffey absolutely killed it and so did Ricky , they are a great combo

Yep, I much prefer listening to RC when Ralph isn't next to him.
