Tomac tomac tomac!

 

KTM is gonna steal another SX title from Deegs for the second year in a row

 

I think Deegan will end up winning once he calms down a bit and stops trying to win at practice and qualifying.

 

No comments from the last race?
Six main events and six different winners is pretty cool. Hope they keep it up and Chase and Webb win the next two. Maybe Kenny too.

 

I hope they get at least halfway through with nobody winning more than 1 or 2 races. End of the season 10 guys in contention in the last race. Wouldn't that be epic.

 

Final event and all the top qualifiers want to know where Friese is gating up at so he doesn't take them out like a bowler throwing at a 7/10 split...

 

I’m surprised the other riders haven’t got together and executed a Tonya Harding move to his knees. The guy is a liability on the track.

 

Is Weston Pieck still doing MMA stuff? Maybe Dean Wilson has a spare crow bar? Hell, just invite the ArenaCross guys...make it a party!

 

Talked to Weston at thunder valley last summer for the Pulp rider days. He can still do some damage.

 

One man's liability is another man's entertainment. No crashes usually mean one guy out front and the only interesting stuff playing out mid pack, this years tiny sample size aside. I love good clean racing, but first corner mayhem pileups make it interesting. Esp when they dont have 30 min to make it up like in outdoor.

 

Prado’s Supercross career didn’t last very long. He’s already out after having shoulder surgery.

 

The Kawi curse.

 

Wild night. I love the triple crown races. I wish Webb would have won the overall though to make it 8 different main event winners. I wonder what happened to Jett? Achilles injury for him too?

 

Think they said it was a hyperextension of...I don't remember, but also tweaked his knee.

 

Jett hasn't looked quite right all season, even in his win he had some sketchy moments. They blame the bike, but maybe its the other way around. maybe the old bike was really so much better than the field and the rest have caught up/Honda fell back into the pack. Maybe its fatigue hes won a supercross title each of the last 3 years 2 while changing class. Not everyone can be McGrath and just dominate every year even after moving up even RC took 2 years to dethrone him

 

It is strange that they keep blaming the bike even though they had months of testing and supposedly were using the new bike at the end of last season.

 

Even the commentators were talking about how great the bike was, and why they understood breaking it out mid season during a title chase. They should have half season of data and tweaks. Makes more sense to be the rider, or the rest of the pack catching up. KTM was new to Chase last year so maybe he figured it out, but Jett was Dominant when he was not injured over EVERYONE

 

Honda swapped to the new bike mid way through the MX season. MX and SX are different animals different settings.

 

RC was saying last night there is nothing like the actual race and racing conditions. I take that to mean you can test and train but it still won't be the same as what you learn racing...

 

I agree. I think it’s more likely that Chase has gotten faster and stopped falling and Tomac is now healthy rather than a bike setup issue.
