2024 Supercross Thread

I have arm pump just watching last weekends race. Darn good race.

 

Roczen has pulled out of the SX series indefinitely.

https://www.cyclenews.com/2022/03/a...his team and,he struggles with health issues.

 

I feel bad for Roczen, the guy has been through so much. Hope he can get well in time for the nationals.

 

I thought the track tonight at Detroit was boring. But it sure did eat up the
450's. Malcom Stewart cannot put clean Main Event together.

 

This should be a perfect example of why they need to track prep before 250 & 450 mains.

 

Why?

 

I wish they would have kept the 500 2-smoke. I used to love the smell of burning castor.

 

All I can say is I'm ready for the Great Outdoors at this point in the series. Perfectioncross is eating up too many good riders. Good on Eli tho.

 

Crazy part about tonight is it was all little mistakes that led to craziness

 

It may have alot to do with why 3 of the top riders crashed out. They prep before the 250 main but not 450s. Always seemed odd to me.

 

More like inconsistencies in track conditions.

 

I think Coop was at fault for his crash due to casing the triple. Anderson seemed like he lost the front end on his own, but could have been due to the hard pack / rut changing.

 

Detroit turned into a demo derby for most riders... Eli had his whoop speed dialed here and made a lot of time from that section to the finish line lap after lap. Mookie gets a 2nd without having to take out anyone...Friese stayed on the lead lap...what a night!

As said above the could've groomed the track a bit better between races but I feel it still would've broken down anyways in certain areas (like where JA washed the front). Webb cased that triple and Sextons back tire tried to strip his jersey off his back...ouch.

 

Chase and Coop have reported they're alright and will be riding next week. Haven't seen an update on JA21, but can guarantee he is in concussion protocol.

 

That good to hear, but Eli's going in with a huge grin.

 

I'm not sure I've ever seen 1 main event claim that many top 450 guys. That was wild

 

That was some tough dirt out at Detroit. Fine balance of riding hard but not too hard. 4 top riders in one night. Hope they bounce back. Tomac looking better every week on that Yamaha.

jett is finding his groove too.

 

This one made me laugh.

 

RIP all those visors.
