The PulpMX.com ShowShow Notes
Jo Shimoda pulled off what almost no one thought possible, he defeated DEEGS for the SMX title in a truly impressive two motos. Justin Cooper had to pickup the reigns for Team USA aboard the 250 with the injury and exit from the team by DEEGS. He's on to talk about that and his 2025 year as a whole. Mitch Payton needs no description because he is a LEGEND. Chris Betts is on because, well... because Adam is in studio. We also have a chat with Justin Brayton. The incomparable Adam Cianciarulo is in studio and the most negative man in the sport, Filthy Phil Nicoletti is as well! Great show!!
