I think someone is just a wee bit upset that Trey made his BEAST rider look like an amateur. At the end of the
race tomac dropped faster than a prom dress.....Smile

Canard has been out there all season running with the top guys and busting his butt. Tomac walks in
half way through the season fresh as a daisy and with nothing to lose. Wait and see when they are on
the same page what happens. Trey will own the beast rider...lol.
So what you are saying is that if he were in the championship hunt Tomac would be slower because the pressure would do that to him.....

I think it was a figure of speech.

As in, damn he goes diiirrrtyyy for the next couple of corners!


Maybe I'm off, but it did come from "Dirty Mike"

He certainly fights the hardest after he gets passed. I don't think I've seen someone make a pass right back as many times as I have Canard. It's interesting that he can get passed, then immediately pass that person back and make it stick. . . Usually when a pass is made, it's because someone is faster but not when it's Canard.
After my many long nights spent researching using advanced physics and some quantum theory, I have noticed that if a rider gets passed and doesn't come right back with aggression, he is quickly put back a few seconds. Trey is making sure he minimizes the damage of being passed so he can quickly get a shot at passing back. If he didn't, he would have to spend the next lap or two catching back up.

I'm pretty sure he means it as Canard goes beast mode when he gets passed and a majority of the time, he passes them right back. I don't think he means dirty as in he's turns into a dirty rider and knocks people down. That's how I read it at least.

Kids these days be using words all crazy.
Yeah I think that is what he meant. Canard is the type of guy that has pretty much no haters, and for good reason. I compare him to what Windham is. Everyone loves to see him do well and would go nuts if he won a 450 title. I absolutely love the fact that when he gets passed he comes firing back even harder. He has no quit in him that's for sure.

Too bad that pass didn't stick because Tomac sat on the rear wheel and never let off. That was some incredible style for sure. Canard just wasn't going to be denied that day.

It's like when Tomac came back and beat Roczen and there were guys saying all Roczen has to do is beat Dungey, but he hasn't even done that in quite a few motos.

Actually I saw his original post but he changed it. He meant dirty as in take people out and that he tries to "break their neck" but he realized that would stir the pot a bit so he changed it.. good for him.

I wish he would've realized it would change the original meaning of my post.

Does anyone have a photo of Tomac and Canard drag racing down the the mechanics straight at Unadilla? With the way the sport has evolved and people "jaded" by how incredible these rider are, its hard to get surprised anymore. That pass was so cool to see with the front wheel up. Reminds me of the old days how rider were just full out.
Not a great shot, just a screenshot, but awesome still. Go Tomac!

That's the shot. Thanks. Steering with the rear wheel at high speeds just says moto.

You didn't say a word about Canards pass on tomac at the bottom of screw-u.
You didn't say a word about Canards pass after the mechanic's area.

Now I ask you...who gets it? Think about it for a minute.

I guess that's what I mean by jaded. Canard made that pass at the bottom of the hill so fast and sharp that it looked easy. There was no stopping him that day. I wasn't trying to make it a Tomac vs Canard thing. I just loved the way it looked drag racing and fighting for position. I'm a fan of the sport and as a rider myself I appreciate every rider out there. The sport is in good hands with the talent it has. I've been enjoying this season like everyone else.
