Free practice. Most GP guys don't throw their best heaters in this session, sometimes like you said though they save it right until the end but for the most part they wait until the qualification and motos.

RV has my money to win any ways you can read the how RV will place thread and will see me saying he should be on top this week.

My point was RV actually has always qualified good (usually top 3 always) and the GP guys tend to not throw it all on the line in Free practice.

Go AC222!!!

Guys keep in mind that this is the smoothest the track will be all weekend. The track will get worse and the other riders will turn it up. Let's not hand Ryan the overall yet.


But yeah this is awesome.
RV is use to riding on real rough tracks with whoops and shit! Only going to get faster

I want to believe...just get a start and stay upright. But again, its just free practice. If Ryan is smashing people like this in the actual motos I'll feel a lot better and will likely run around high-fiving randoms on the street.
