With a big lead in the points for the holeshot points and no chance at the championship . Does he or should he gear his bike more for the holeshot than for the rest of the track ?

I Think I would

It seems to be working just fine now. Why change a good thing?

I agree it does seem to be working indeed but surely it could be geared just to make sure...just a though and wondering what peeps opinions might be
Surely it would be fair any one can run any gears they want they may work better on one part of the track or another

Super pumped for Wil. He's killing it on the starts.

They've got to figure out what Eli is doing wrong, I can't believe it's only the weight difference. He is unbelievable on the bike but won't be able to chase down the 450 class with midpack starts. Put some telemetry on those two and figure it out,

You have to manage power and wheel spin, you could have 900 HP in a 100 pound bike and get dead last. Holeshot engine? WTF

Example, Stop in the sand, pin it, hardly in go go, don't pin it, you have go go.

I'm right there with you. He pulls good starts from time to time on the 250 so it can be done.

Awesome to see Hahn getting the holeshot bonus. I don't think any other rider can catch him at this point can they?

Obvioulsly he has skills I'm not meaning to discredit that.
And it wouldnt be engine but gearing . Any bike could be made to have more take off and less top speed or vice versa . Prob as simple as a larger rear sprocket .
Anyway it seems he has it in the bag already.

Wilbur has always been decent at starts but I'm wondering about his fade. Eli, Roc, Mushy, Bagget are known for being strong all moto long but Wil is slipping even further than that group in the second half of motos. And speaking of Blakes...what happened to Wharton? As far as the quarter lites...Tomac is showing the same unbelievable mastery of the bike and tracks as Villo on the big bike...truly amazing to watch. (I know those two have had some bobbles but overall they are killing it).
