I say dungey holeshots both motos and stewart spends the weekend as the shadow this time.

they get tangled up on the last lap moto 2, a full minute passes before the bikes are restarted. They still beat alessi and co by a solid 10 seconds.

Im just hoping for a good, 30+2 battle for the both of them. Lakewood has always had some great battles for the win

And he loved Freestone as well...

Rooting for JS7 to continue his 1-1 streak, but as long as I see these 2 guys battle it out, I don't care who wins. They both deserve it.

Dungey and Barcia BOTH stepping it up for the overall's!

Yeah, it may be a stretch... but I'm hopeful for some new blood on the top step of the podium!

I think Dungey will get it done this weekend. Just overall results I reckon...

450s......

Ryan Dungey - (Traditionally likes this track and imo is very close in speed to JS).
James Stewart - (Fitness clearly doesn't appear to be a problem with him. If he doesn't win then he'll be damn close).
Andrew Short - (Still capable of good results, still has top 3 speed. And of course a track he grew up on).

250s......

Eli Tomac - (I would like to say KR but I my instincts tell me that Eli is the new heavy weight of this class).
Ken Roczen - (Ken is riding awesome but it's a feeler year for him. With that said he has at least seen the track before).
Blake Baggett - (His starts need work. Even in the helmet cam vid Tedesco beats him to the corner. The speed is there).

I predict a plethora of threads created because a rider will do something that will piss the vitards off.

i'd go with rd5 this week so much closer last week and on a track where throttle control is important i think he will get it done.

On this track i don't see baggett coming through if he gets a bad start so its going to be between k-roc and tomac.I hope k-roc just edges it to give his confidence a little boost to help him step it up to where the other 2 already are.

really important for ken to get a win this weekend- i think he needs the confidence boost to take it to baggett and tomac for the rest of the series! same for dungey (even though he's been close to james i think it must be playing on his mind that he still hasnt beaten him yet)

hopefully they will both come out on top, it will certainly make the championship more interesting if they do!!!

Stewart will go 1 & 1 again, while cruising at a comfortable pace like the last 2 weeks, and Tomac will get 1, and Barcia will get the other in the 250 class.

And no, the "world champ" won't even win a race in the USA Whistling

The weather forecast is calling for overcast skies, high of 81, and a cool 5 mph breeze-- these are conditions Roczen can race a whole moto in.

Who knows? James and RD are a toss-up in the 450's. I'm just hoping for a good race, and that RD can get a race win to keep this thing interesting.

As far as the 250's, same goes, except there are 4-or-5 candidates for the win. I like the fact that Tomac is riding on his home turf, in conditions he's familiar with, so based solely on that, I'm going with ET for the win.

Iàm German, so i hope Kenny will win. It would be another historic win in his career.
But even when not Iám proud of him, we never had such an awesome rider in Germany. And he has the courage to race against the best riders in the world.

He is definitely an extremely talented rider and a worthy opponent for the American racers. And he is one of the most exciting riders to watch. I hope he stays healthy for the whole season.

I have a feeling there will be a Stewart on the podium in both classes. Tomac will win 250s, James wins 450s.
