Alternate angle.



Kenny was living dangerously, keeping his inside foot on the pegs. Check out how far up his boot it goes.

That's one bad ass rut.

That's a shiftier, foot peg grabbing rut.

Is that the one before the drop off that quite a few times Kenny was standing on the pegs through?

Pretty sure it is! Right after that uphill double.That rut was by far the gnarliest on the whole track.

That is what i figured, just hard to tell because we were getting it from such a different angle.

Gibby, what did you think of the whoop section this year? I didnt really like it as much as in years past...though by the end of the motos watching them try and get through it made my lower back ache!

I'd posted this in another thread...

Talking with a few riders today, the whoops were apparently a lot further apart than usual. Skimming wasn't an option, doubling was only available occasionally. Mostly it was slamming face-to-face-to-face. That was taxing.

The rider I saw do them (at least the first half) the best? Marvin Musquin. He was catching a double really early (in the corner leading into them) which set him up to double through a lot of them.

Looking at those two pics, you can see the difference in aggression.

I think the term 'rut' here is used too loosely.

What they are really doing is railing a war trench.

I mean, they are at war with one another, right?

I bet every other 250f rider wishes they were in the rut Baggett's stuck in.

I thought the track looked very narrow and small with only one good line to take. All the passes happened in the whoops apart from one I saw Baggart make on Tomac.
There are a lots of ruts in the pic it was all very follow my leader on tv anyway.

And that gentlemen is why foot pegs spring backwards.

Maybe, except this was some very heavy clay.

Obviously photoshopped from Europe. Ruts don't develop on any other continent.
