Did anyone ever say if he was having issues? Either bike or body related, im not used to seeing him fall back like that so maybe it was just not his night again but I thought he'd hold his own better than that making me think there may have been an issue. The stream I was watching froze for a bit but the audio said he pulled off the track, can anyone verify?

I don't think he's comfortable on the blue pig. I think he would be doing much better on any other color. He got stuck on the bad years at Honda before JGR. I think he would be running with Seeley if he was on the new Honda.

It's just the blue pig. Not many have been able to ride that wild thing...

Go watch phoenix 2013... Same thing. Couldn't pass for the lead and then went backwards hard... He's good leading but sometimes he seems to mentally blow up a bit if he can't pass or loses a spot, maybe he starts overriding again? The first main he looked really great!

My mom likes him, for some reason (I think she has him confused with someone else) but we were sitting in the stands every few laps she would say, "What the hell, Justin?"

He really shit the bed, tonight

He won Phoenix 2013. I think you mean 2014; he took out Roczen then started going backwards

The "blue pig" as you call it didn't seem to hurt him outdoors too much...Peick would punch you in the head for saying that.

Looked like he got arm pump . I honestly think he will win races , but he is hyped for something he will never be imo a 450. Championship contender. There's too many races throughout the year he will be off the pace of dungey , k rock , etc

LaughingLaughing I feel like the whole Peick thing is going to stick around for a while and I look forward to it!

He's not very good at driving motor bikes and leaping off the ramps and taking the banked turns

Thanks! haha. Was that the one where he got stuck behind Brayton? That's the race I mean.

Was there any issue at all with the bike? In a couple of instances I thought something looked unusual about his rear wheel, but I figured it was caused by glare off the rim.

That was really bad if there wasn't a problem with the bike or if he somehow got hurt..

Yeah his rear of his bike looked like it was sitting low or something odd. He went back fast and then crashed and went back again. Something didnt sound good.

Given how hard he went back I think it must have been a case of bad arm pump, first race jitters. It happens (hopefully that's what it was). Regardless he can't afford too many of those again.

He either racked himself real bad or his arms pumped so bad he had to slow down. No way the guy forgot how to ride in 10 laps
