This is just a great class. I can't think of one moto this year where it hasn't delivered excitement by the bucket.

It's the reason why BB12 is riding the way he is riding. Smart strategy if you ask me and of course JW doesn't get it and thinks there is something wrong. Let the Geico boys, who have nothing to lose, beat up on each other with the odds of one of them having a bad moto which has been the case for both Eli and Barcia of the last several races.

Is it just me, or do the 250 motos feel like they are twice as long as the 450's?

Action packed from the drop of the gate to the checkflag! LOVE IT!

Seems like Tomac usually has pretty meh 1st motos and turns it on in the 2nd...bad news for the comp. Smile

Also I've never seen anyone take off their helmet three seconds after the finish line.

Yet they continue to show the boring 450 class on TV...

How do you know what Bagget's plans are? Did you talk to him?

He sure didn't say he was holding back on the podium.

Said he would go back and make changes for moto 2...

smart really dumping 7 points per moto means the championship slips away again.Smart would be showing them a clean pair of heels and extending the lead.so going into the last round the pressure was gone and he could cruise to 4th or 5th

That's how I feel. Does not fell very common sense like to drop 7 points per moto.

Smart is riding the moto you got and not over your head. If your not feeling it, your not feelin it. Go back and regroup, make changes and have at it.

So basically the same thing he's done all year... Kind of what I'm getting at. Does not seem to be much of a change to "ride any smarter" than he was.

The Honda guys have nothing to lose, they have to go for it and get max points each moto. Bagget has everything to lose. He has to pick and choose when to go for it and avoid major mistakes.

Maybe he likes the idea of throwing down at Pala more than Steel City. But wait...there is no Pala!

If he sits back and takes a 4th or 5th in moto 2 then I agree that is not the way to go. But we still have another moto to see how the day unfolds. Kind of like Washougal. Underwheling in moto 1 and steels victory from Barcia in moto 2.

Its not as if he isn't turning the fast laps thou as he was the fastest on a few laps,if your going to lay it down for a few laps why not the whole race maybe he had their speed just couldn't find his lines in the first few laps and after getting dropped decided it wasn't worth riding over his head to close it up
