Looks like Baggett is being more mature this year and not panicking with a bad start.

Blake can't seem to buy a start... ever.

Gary Bailey did say James needed a Plan B. Bummer for the fans.

Try watching that from James speed and POV, and if you think that cant cause the crash you have never raced at a serious level of speed or you are clueless.

so because I have never been a National Pro I cant see that he was no where near the flagger, never even changed his line, didnt even glance over at him, and then he crashes more than 100 feet past the guy..... and im clueless? Really?

Maybe you are clueless because you cant see that the FMOTP made mistake and crashed all by him self.... again!

bvm youre an idiot!

The GoPro wide angle lens makes everything seem a lot farther away. The guy was a lot closer than what it seems on the video. Plus because you cant see the bike on the gopro, you dont get to see that James was probably leaning to the right, but had to steer the bike to left, thus being leaned too much over the right side. In such a long rut, its very difficult to get the bike back up if youre leaned to the side too much, Thats why he crashed so far down the track, trying to hold on.

At least thats what it looked like on the gopro..
thank you... i mean damn i havent raced that much and i figured that is what happened when your going that fast nd see something like that just pop up when ur coming over a jump will startle you. That split second of OH SHIT can screw you over. after he saw that within a second he had to choose a new line, change bike position, change body position, place the bike where he wanted, see how long the rut was, look ahead, calculate lean angle, calculate how much throttle he needed, calculate what he thinks the bike is gonna do, calculate all sorts of shit.....

so unless anyone has ever ridden that fast you cant say what caused it or what he shoulda done or what is happening. raise your hand if youve ever ridden that fast, after raising that hand gab a gun and kill yourself cuz ur an idiot. Smile

Why do you want to watch 2 guys riding around who aren't battling? When they start battling they'll switch to them. It's not that hard to figure out.

Eleven10 guys looking good. Phil in 6th, Alex in 15th. I noticed Hoss topping Phils fuel off at the start.....good boy! Hoping that little issue has been solved. And Phil did mention he likes the mud.

Track looks a lot like a GP track (or fucked up) ... No excuses for Roczen and Musquin ...

PS: Roczen using all his "Lommel"-experience going through some ruts!

Roczens not battling with him right now he's simply riding behind him. I can send a YouTube of follow the leader if you'd like but others are actually battling and passing.

Yes this track is 90% inside lines as the fast race line and you can see the line is to inside on next turn. Bummer

Didn't know Tomac went down too. Him and Baggett are on another level.
