Official 2017 Supercross Thread

@Styx586 I'll See ya at A2! For those in OC, this friday, Huntington Honda will have Kroc, Seely and Decotis signing posters. I will be working at Berts Mega Mall in Azusa this friday 4pm-8pm for the D37 Dual Sport booth. Berts will have Tomac, Grant, Barcia, Bogle, Tickle, Ciancurilo, Peick, Forkner there signing posters.

 

Any opinions since Malcolm has sorta given us info for 2017?

 

He should make the main. Not sure what he will do from there. I guess it just depends on what kind of shape he is in and how prepped he is on the bike. He did well in the Europe off-season races, but that was on his old Honda 450. I think he will do ok though, if he is feeling good.

 

I was not sure what he was riding 250 or 450 in the Europe races. He was only a 250 rider for Gieco Honda so wasn't sure if the would give him and set up a 450 for him to use. That makes me feel better, since he was riding and doing well on a big bike, even though it's a bit different then Suzuki.

 

Is James coming back as well or just Malcolm?

 

He was racing his own personal Honda CRF450R in the euro events. It had some parts on it from Geico but it was his own bike. He did well and ran up front most nights. His body is more suited for the 450, so if he settles in on the RMZ, he should be pretty good.

Malcolm is racing this weekend. James is supposed to come back at some point, but I don't think anyone quite knows what is up. He wants a brand to step-up and help with parts, but I don't know if that is going to happen. So far I've heard if he does come back it could be on a Suzuki, Husky or Yam.

 

Ugh the Stewart bros.

I cant stand them... lol

 

I realize with time zones live TV is difficult, but I can't stand this 10pm race starts while they are out in CA. I will just be recording the races and watching tomorrow. I can't be up past 1 am for this.

 

Malcolm Stewart game to race. I hope JS7 comes back soon. People might not like him but he is sure
fun to watch. And I hate Chad Reed so I like to see Bubba whoop his sorry Australian ass.

 

Malcom was hauling ass. Anderson head punching friese just reaffirms how much of a punk ass tool I think he is, though friese deserves it. Man I want a new honda, I know a 450 would kill me but roczen makes it look soooo good.

 

I missed all the drama, what happened between Anderson and Friese?

 

Friese did the typical friese move, anderson lost his spot in qualifying, anderson lost his temper as typical anderson, swung at him in tunnel, disqualified for the evening.

Typical..

Hoping KR is alright after that crash. That was gnarly.

 

Just saw that. The one thing dungey has over him, consistency, every season. I told my buddies, Roczen will have it in the bag till he crashes then Dungey will finish it out. Sad. I bet though Dungey retires after this year, going out on top. Looks like Ken broke his arm.

 

Yep broken arm for KRoc. Super bummer. Haha I missed the action between Anderson and Friese too... What a night for Dungey tho! Horrible way to start the night and to come out on top just shows the guys mental strength. Love it.

 

Ouch that sucks for KR, I was looking forward to seeing him and Dungey battle it out for the title. I'm stoked for Seely getting a podium though!

 

Roczen rides on the edge like James Stewart does. Make for exciting racing but boy it leads to big
crashes. I'm not sure whey Roczen didn't try to hold on to the bike a little longer. Any time you fly off
full speed at peak height you are gonna have a gnarly get off.

 

Webb jumped on a medical cross flag. Wheres his penalty?

Here is a better video of the crash. Looks like he caught a nice kicker.
Explains how he catapulted off that
450.

 

This is where Dungey acts like more of a champion. Both have the speed and talent, some would say Roczen has a bit more, the problem with Roczen is instead of being smart and consistent like Dungey he will ride on the edge which cost him another SX championship and maybe a small ding in outdoors based on recovery time and guessing he wont be 100% at the start. If Roczen had taken less risks and even settled for 2nd or 3rd he'd still be points leader, still be in the hunt for the title and still in Dungey's head. I feel bad for Roczen but it is a little bit of humble pie too for him.
