...of the weekend? For me:
"Biggest surprise": While it shouldn't have been a surprise considering Joey Savatgy has won a moto in his career, I thought his 1/1 performance was pretty notable, especially considering no one seemed to be able to put together two good rides in the 250's. I did think Webbs 4-5 was gutsy as hell considering his injury.
"Biggest letdown": No, not Tomac. I keep waiting for Marvin Musquin to break out. I had him pegged as a title contender this year in SX and MX. Granted, it's only been one race, but he just doesn't look ready to compete with the big three. Not sure if he's still dealing with that hand/wrist injury, or if he just can't get comfortable on the 450, just expected more from him.

Biggest letdown: Stew. Fuckin, Stew..
It's been one race and nothing shocking occurred. The top riders were all expected to do well and aside from a few crashes nothing seemed out of place or was very far from believable had you been told the results a week prior.
J-marts 3-9 was about as surprising as A-Marts 8-2.
Letdown: Stewart ... I was really excited to see him line up for the outdoors, was hoping to see him get some results in and build on it, bummer deal ...
The Shop
His results were awesome for a guy that is/was as sick as he is.
Biggest surprise for me was Amarts 2nd moto. Holy shit he was absolutely flying. I reqlky hope he's stepped up his game and becomes a serious title threat. How awesome would it be to have 2 brothers fighting hard for a championship?
Biggest let down, honestly it's Tomac. Hes my favorite rider and I really wanted him to be up there racing with KR and RD. I have no problem with him taking 3rd overall, I just have a problem with how he didn't even compete with the fast 2
Biggest let down would be JMart. That crash in the second moto was costly.
Mitchell Harrison would be a close second. Good starts all day but crashed multiple times. Hopefully he will get the nerves out and rip soon.
Is he injured again, he's had a few terrible years to say the least. I know he's had injuries that has affected his results but i thought he would of been better.
Plenty of fast guys with overall finishes in the teens or low 20's, in the 250's that i would say had a tough day.
Cole Seely was a pleasant surprise for awhile in moto 2. I would love to see Cole have a good season.
Letdown : need more of those podium girls
Letdown: AC.
Letdown: Arnaud Tonus
Let down: J Mart
Really hope Jeremy steps it up, because I want to see him win a third championship and head into the 450s on a high
I was hoping for a revival of the Chupacabra but now he's out with a collarbone. I hope he can re-light that same fire later this season.
Letdown. The Suzuki trifecta. Bummed for Baggett and both Stewart's. Ronnie endo'd at high speed in the up hill rollers. Hope he can heal up quick.
Pit Row
Letdown: I wasn't there
Biggest surprise - AC: to me, he completely underwhelmed. I honestly thought he would do better.
Biggest let down - Blake: I was SO pumped on his first moto, and I just had a feeling he would be a front runner this year, so I was really bummed to see him crash out.
Tristian Charbonneau
Austin Forkner
RJ Hampshire
Alex Martin
Jordon Smith
Blake Baggett
Jesse Nelson
Let downs (if you want to call it that)-
James Stewart
Arnold Tonus
Christophe Pourcel
Justin Hill
Ciancauraulo
Martin Davalos
Honestly can't say exactly what happened, but he hit the berm like he was trying to jump off of it. Maybe cross rutted or I've read some saying his hand came off... Either way, he hit the ground HARD, I'd be surprised if he lines up anytime soon. Too bad, I was hoping for a descent finish, he has the speed still, but his timing is horrific !!
Ive seen some disappointed with AC. With the great amount of success and hype from am ranks it isnt too far of a stretch to expect better. If he had something to compare it too.
This is first race he has even completed in a while. So that is a surprise. If he stays healthy he will get back to it. He is elite, elite!
Let down carnard...n biggest let down pourcel -tonus
wanted to see Pourcel and Craig up there. I love the way those guys ride.
Let downs.....Factory Suzuki
Flip side, I thought KRock was toast when he had the back issues last year.
Who returns to being top dog after back issues?
