man.... the off season long.......for the bench racers
KC made a mistake plain and simple. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. End of story!
But as already mentioned, it had little effect on the outcome.
but for the outcome, who knows... there were many times during that race that bubba passed and gapped reed by a second and reed reeled him back in and passed back.
being a second behind bubba is like an eternity.
Personally, I like when a guy talks a little smack...and it did "get good" when Roncada challenged him for those few laps in SX and MXHangtown. I think James coulda been more of a sport about the Roncada challenge, but that fight in him might be what makes him a legend of the sport.
It had no direct effect on the outcome really though. I think we can all admit that. It's like watching your favorite football team and getting a call in your favor and lose, or out of your favor and win.
Pit Row
hold the phone... the entire main event in vegas and both motos in entirety in hangtown certainly qualify as more than "a few laps"
just sayin
The corner it happened in, tell me, what followed that corner and by the riders own quotes was the longest and toughest set they had seen all that year. A long ass whoop section. What do you have to have to carry speed in that whole section? Entry speed. If someone hangs you up in a corner like that, even for a 10th of a second, at the level JS and CR are running, what could that do for the entire next section? Make you lose more time. And yes, at that level, a 10th of a second delay is a big deal. They drill washers out for fucks sake to save .01 of an once chasing those elusive 10ths and 100redths of a second. You get jacked in a corner before whoops, it turns a 10th second delay into a 2 second delay.
if that had happened before a triple, it wouldnt have factored in as much.
Do I think it determined the outcome, no, I do not. CR was fighting hard for it, but JS had just that touch more so the next 5 laps would have been interesting but I do think JS had CR covered. But all the crap that it didnt actually hurt CR's drive? bullshit You guys are thinking in terms of what it would do to you based on YOUR experience on the track, not based on the level those 2 run which none of us in here can even come close to.
That said, I was thrilled to see it "get good" even if it was for such a short period of time.
I never bought the team orders conspiracy.
Kyle was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Mistakes happen....
