Haven't heard. He went down in front of me while leading, and had tons of dirt packed into the left side shroud. I'm not sure it didn't tweak the radiators, or fill them up with dirt.

I would like to know this also. I seen the crash and turned the TV off. I watched the replay later thinking "you know what, its BB4 he can catch up". Than I see his bike broken. It sucks. He has been clearly faster in my opinion since round 3. Just can't get a break.

1 DNF mechanical
2 crashes with lappers
This crash was all on him. But than the bike quits.... Darn it.

I don't wish for Jmart to have bad luck. But he has had none. He gets good starts and that's all he needs. When he doesn't he doesn't do to well, but good enough.

Lastly I know we have seen strange things happen. But the championship is over. Grats to Jmart.

See how Bagget does next year on the different bike....

That's how you win a championship. You put yourself around great people and minimize your mistakes. (Not saying Mitch and the PC crew aren't great, because they are) Like you said, Jmart wins with a good start and when he gets a bad start he still does well enough. He hasn't had those crashes that take him out. Also, that yamaha team obviously has their shit together this year. If the fastest guy always wins championships then Stewart would have won a bunch more. Typically in the amateur ranks the fastest guy wins, but that doesn't always hold true for an entire professional championship series.

Yeah your 100% correct. Hard not to be biased being a Baggett fan. But in the end the better man is the one who keeps it together all year. If Baggett didn't start the championship so badly he could of made a few errors. But being so far behind Jmart at the beginning he has had to be flawless and he simply hasn't been.

In his championship year he made almost the same mistake same moto same track. It is weird, he flies there but seems to crash there also.

Jmart had a few bad races with a couple of crashes and bad starts.

He just minimizes the bad starts.

He hasn't had any bike issues though, the PC bikes have had more than a few issues this year.

Blake just hasn't matched him when he has needed to. Golden chance to make up some points this weekend but wadded all by himself.

That's what it looked like on TV. Radiator packed with dirt doesn't do a bike like that any good.

Factory Husky 450 if the rumors are correct. Nothing official has been released of course.

Yup, and Justin Hill on a 250. I can't remember who the second 250 rider is though..... (All rumors at this point.... just put it in your pocket and don't put money on it)

I was rooting for Bagget to grab his second championship too. Unfortunately it's not looking so good. By the way, does anyone remember the last time someone won 2 consecutive lights MX championships?

I figured RV had won 2, never thought it was 3. That's damn impressive.

Anderson, Bagget, Hill, Davalos, in addition of the MXGP riders (unlucky in MX1 this year but 3rd in MX2!), that looks good !

These riders have are so talented that I would not be surprised to see them lock a championship & many podiums, it is rare to see such a racing effort which more & more makes me a fan of KTM/Husky.

I have never been a fan of the orange color but I really like blue & white ... Their market shares in off road racing should top at 45-50% in 5 years !
