He just said on the podium of 25+: "I'm not here to take anybody's title. If they want it they can have it. It's right there for everybody." He said it in what sounded like a pretty humble way.
I think he's posted nothing but 1's so far on the board?

Like I said, I don't know the answer.
On top of that there are many levels of pro riders so how can you say who can race or who can't. Dident Rc lose at his qualifier in the moe r stacked class? . Guys that have been retired for a while may not even ride that much any more. Obviously Mike brown is a exertion because he still rides really
Do you want to be the best 40 yr old or do you want first place except XYZ wasn't allowed to race?
There are 10 yr old kids there with full Factory support so that's a non issue.
Want a trophy get faster.
The support some of these kids get far outweighs the advantage of being a 40 year old national champ in the +25 class. Suck it up, buttercups.
Do you mind if I quote you on your last sentence?
It's an age class...if you fit the age then race if you want.
They've already adjusted a few classes to keep the x factory
guys out of them.
Do you really think there should be a class for 6 former pros?
Where do you draw the line....World champion? Top 10 in Nationals?
Top 50 National Number?? I think where they drew the line is fair enough.
Get over it.
Seems to me that giving the glory to people who never had a shot at any level of professional racing is a really cool opportunity for someone. You don't simply "get faster" than mike brown.
Having an ex pro class would create a class with tons of hype, probably bring out more ex pros and in turn allow some 28 year old kid you've never heard of to win a title for the first time in his life as opposed to mike brown winning his 40th title.
Mike Brown hasn't done a single thing wrong in my eyes, however. He's simply racing the class he ought to be as per the sanctioning body and I'm sure he's having a great time doing it. Happy to see him out there.

In many local races, you can drop a class with a drop in age. i.e. a 40A racer could race in 30B....
Following that logic, Brownie could be racing 450C...
But he didn't finish 10th. Be blitzed the field proving that something is still wrong here.
Explain to me again why some of you are so adamant that former professional riders should be able to compete in the vet classes at an AMATEUR national?
Mike Brown had his day in the sun. Why not let a true amateur have his as well?
