Official 2017 Supercross Thread

Agree... I feel like a lot of people don't give Dungey the credit he's due. He may not be as fun to watch as some of the other riders, but you can't deny his pure professionalism and mental strength. Seems like everything he does is calculated.

 

I agree, he makes it look easy out there and is so consistent. I feel bad for Marvin Musquin living in the shadow of Dungey all the time though. After the race last night during the interview you could tell Musquin was a little fed up coming up short to Dungey yet again.

 

He'll have his time to shine after Dungey is done racing lol. Musquin just moved to the 450s not too long ago so he's got plenty of time to get in his wins. Dungey had to live in Villopoto's shadow for 4 straight years and its paying off now. And Musquin seemed really concerned about Roczen during that interview too...

 

Not shocked at all by KRoc destroying himself (2 times in 4 events, if you count Monster Cup). Dude can't handle pressure. That is why Dungey doesn't get flustered when Roczen wins a couple, early-on. It's only a matter of time until Roczen gets a bad start and feels the pressure to make up spots, then boom. Hope he gets well but dude needed a reality check. The season is going to be a bit more boring now though, as I don't think anyone has enough to challenge RD. And you know he isn't going to make dumb mistakes. I thought Webb finally looked like he is coming around. Hope to see him improve each week.

 

Some pretty exciting racing tonight! Lots of good battles and a tough looking track... When Anderson took out Webb I was cracking up. Haha bet he felt like an ass after the way he acted last week. Good to see Dungey make a few aggressive moves too... But Tomac straight Villopoto'd the whole field haha

 

Good to see Tomac get his mojo back for sure. Thought it was gonna be the Dungey show and another boring season with Kenny out.

 

I'm kind of wondering if Tomac needs an open track to win at this point, or if the track was just to his liking last night... I was a bit miffed by Anderson and Webb's get together after last week also, and then Webb running to the officials...kinder gentler world I guess. Was (admittedly) rooting for Malcolm for some reason at the mains starting laps until he got freight trained off his line in that fitted turn.

 

Last nights track was boring to watch. It was fast and not very technical. Tomac always does better on a fast easy track. He got that hole shot and checked out.

 

Was great to see Reed up on the podium again. Overall, I didn't think the track was boring or not technical enough. Plenty of good racing last night, just not after the hotshot.

 

@MadTaco461
Was about to make a thread for this glad I searched first

 

Seeing Reed make that pass around the 8min mark was awesome.

 

I thought this week's race was 1 of the better ones. Tomac can fly when he is feeling it. It's almost like head games with him. I loved seeing Reed work for that finish. It made it that much more impressive that he had to pass some heavy hitters to earn that. So cool. I thought the Anderson move on Webb was pretty lame. He does that all of the time. That was why when he got taken out by Freise, I didn't think he made much room to complain. Freise's move wasn't even that bad. But Anderson went ahead and showed why he has no room to be mad. I didn't mind Webb talking to officials over it.

 

I actually kind of disagree with you on that. Obviously it was fast, no arguments there (football stadium), but I thought it was still technical and not boring at all. For me, I like tracks where there are sections that can be comboed a bunch of different ways. I liked the long rhythm sections and I think it separated the top guys from some of the guys who weren't willing to do it. Maybe it is just me. I liked this track the best so far. Hopefully Oakland is good.

 

I thought it was a good track.
I was so happy to see Tomac win. I was terrified that the season was just going to be the dungey show. Nobody had showed any speed besides him and roxcen. I still expect Dungey to win, but I want it interesting at least.

 

What a night of racing in Oaktown! Webb really starting to get in a groove. Rut city. Love watching Tomac charge at 110% on rails. Wonder what happened to Musquin. I thought Bubba was supposed to be back. Tomac and Webb battle, hucking quads. Tomac moving thru the pack and getting by Dunge!!! Now he's only 17 points back. A stringer in Seelys sprocket. And what a night for Hansen. First he uses Forkners helmet for a launch ramp, then that mid-air clip with AJ and takes himself outta the race.

 

Good night of racing. Tomac was a monster. His quad line was so cool. I'm really happy to see Webb improving every week, also. That track looked so hard. It is amazing when a track like that makes even the best guys ride a bit cautious. A lot of casual fans might not realize how brutal that was for those guys. Just amazing how they handle it.

 

I loved that race. Tomac was a beast out there. Annoying I don't have fs2. Now I have to wait for it to show up on YouTube Sunday morning. Really technical track. People were doing all sorts of different lines. Think dungey was keeping it safe and clean lines.

 

^^^^ I don't get FS2 either and was bummed, and i do the same look for it sunday morn, but Sat night it was posted up on Youtube! Then yesterday after Super Bowl i went to look for it again and it was taken down.

 

My cable provider doesn't even carry FS2, but they re-ran it on FS1 yesterday evening. I DVR'ed it and watched it after the Super Bowl. Luckily only a couple are on FS2, but it is super annoying when it is.

 

Yea I've got the same FS2 problem... But yesterday it was on FS1 at the same time as the super bowl so I watched it instead. Haha. Some great racing for sure! I love the fact that some of the other guys are stepping it up and making it an exciting season. Webb looking great out there. Pretty stoked to see Hill killing it out there too.
