Any word on why we're doing both the 250 and 450 guys at the same time? I used to really enjoy these come Sunday morning but having 6 guys up there getting interviewed at once has really killed the flow of the discussion for both the 250 and 450 guys.
Suggestion: If you're going to have all the guys up there then focus on the 250 guys first then transition to the 450's. No need to have 6 guys ping ponging back and forth talking about 2 (or more) different races during the same discussion.

I do miss that a bit, but if I was a rider I'd like this new format better I imagine.

Shame, I really enjoyed getting a small glimpse of everyones personality in the old format. This new format has really tightened everyone up a bit. Hard to get into that flow when you have to wait 5 minutes between questions.
Oh well, better than nothing.
Carry on.
Though I have enjoyed the 250 press conferences, but having them all up there was not good.
End of day does not really matter, I just was not a fan of it.
Problem is, when they've done the 250/450 separate, the one that is done first, those guys usually duck out quickly or are over it and don't really want to wait in their gear for the second presser to finish and to answer 90 more 1 on 1 questions and duck out.. Same goes for the guys that go second, they've now waited sometimes quite a while for the presser to get going, the first class to go and when they're done they duck out. In the end, these guys have raced mains, done post race questions from the stadium and NBC sports, had podium celebration, done a press conference and answered 1 on 1 questions from media and just want to get out of their gear, shower and relax a minute. It's hard to blame them.
I have not been at the last two rounds since it changed, but I like it in concept. In theory, the 450 guys now don't have to wait for the 250 guys and are likely more open to doing some 1 on 1's because they haven't answered 100 questions.
I can think of 5 really good interviews, they would have come from the crashes in the 250lcq

You'd think it would be one or the other
