Man that was insane! Absolute chaos to start the main! So many crazy parts of last night and nobody is talking about them.

One thing I did notice when Jenny was talking to him, he seemed more concerned about the other riders that got caught up than the fact that he just wadded himself up huge then got slammed by Alessi. I like that he has concern for the other dudes out there. "it wasn't my intention" had me in stitches. I think that was pretty clear to everyone Bogs.

On another note, Dunge got the start and actually went backwards. Before Eli dropped the anchor (thinking those shoulder issues aren't cured by one win) it looked like Dunge might finish off the podium after leading the race. Marv, and Kenny were on the gas in a big way, but man, still wierd to see DUngey getting passed like that this year. IMO best track and best racing all season in both classes.

I'm not sure it was the best track of the season, but it wasn't bad. I think the carnage of the start in both races made the racing more interesting. The 250 main in particular was very interesting

Dungey was gapping Marvin before he went down, good ride by roczen, just needs to eliminate the bad days. It's hard to be in contention when the points leader's bad day is a third.

Eli rode strange to be honest. The first laps were like "I won last week like this ...Another win is in sight!" and after Roczen and Dungey passed it was like "ah no, I remember now ... I'm struggling with the bike and shoulders, nevermind this race ..."

Yeah I'd like to hear Eli's side, Eye of the tiger turned into eye of the kitten. Odd night for him. Although Bowers mentioned the whoops killed him. Maybe Eli tweaked a shoulder at some point

That was a bad place to get squirrelly for Bogle...felt bad for him after such a great start.

It is strange to see Dungey not get a win when he is out front but I honestly believe he is THE most intelligent racer I have ever seen. When he feels he is not on pace to win he settles for a podium and more points towards his ultimate goal. Race wins are great but the big bonus comes from the championship and he is on track for another one

Dungey looked a bit tight to me, but he would have had a tough time beating Kenny....he was on it

Roczen won In the corners

Was just saying before the gate dropped all Bogle needs is a good start to get his 450 career started and he holeshots...

Glad to see he isn't too hung up on it and was more concerned about the other riders. He's still young in his rookie season, he'll get it figured out

So he rode 20 solid at Daytona and then by lap five he was out of gas in Toronto?

The original quote is correct. Eli's problem is psychological. Once he gets passed he loses all fight, focus, and intensity. He may also be saving himself for outdoors. He totally threw in the towel after Roczen dropped him.

All I care about is that they all walked away.

Bogle is impressive with his character and his anility to tell it like it is.

Yeah that could have been a lot worse. Crashing after holeshotting is as dangerous as it gets really. Glad everyone was okay. Anderson was right there with the top guys before that. We may have seen even better racing had he made it through.

He really is such a well spoken and honest young man. Can't wait to see what he can do throughout his career, have been a fan for a while.
