You're right but to me I want to see good races each weekend with a title fight that goes down to Vegas.. we have not seen that since 2011. IMO having a close championship race adds to the series in terms of a story and it definitely effects the way the riders go at it. It's just more interesting.
Me too.....my guy is Tomac!

You guys are missing the point here... Do you really think we're going to see the Dungey we saw at San Diego going balls out to not give an inch to Roczen? Hell no. Yes, there has been good racing but my point is the odds are slim that we're going to have the excitement of guys pushing the envelope week in and week out for a championship. Instead we'll see guys dice it up and have their nights but to me that doesn't compare to a close championship battle

The guy in 2nd place in 450 standings, who is already down 17 points to Mr Consistent, has a mechanical and that's exciting ??? I swear some of the people on here are slow. I'm excited for 250 East but 450 and 250 west are done and if that doesn't disappoint you then you're missing the point of "racing"
So don't watch the rest of the races then. I swear some of you guys could fuck up a free lunch.
Clearly he would be singing a different tune if "his" guy didn't finish poorly tonight. Cry space, puppies and rioting are likely in his future? Relax folks, it's racing, enjoy that and the unpredictability that comes with it.

Four winners in six races is good racing.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, and Im an outdoors guy. By a long shot. Until proven otherwise, because of his overwhelming track record, there is no reason to believe that the outdoor championship race will be any different as long as Dungey is signed up. Future predictions are best made through recent results. So, can outdoors have a more interesting championship race? Yes, but it would be an exception, not the rule. I hate it when mechanicals have a big influence on outcome. However, it is an added variable that has made supercross less predictable so far. Finally, I think brimx153 summed it up best with the following copied and pasted from his post:

"how can you say tonight was nt exciting . Did tonight F you both Championship s . Yea 'MAYBE' . But look , we have on vital gone from .

Kenny will have a perfect season
to thats it , dungey has it in the bag .
to Tomac might have a chance yet
to no one can leave with Tomac he ll have the points lead in 5 races
to there s something massively wrong with Dungey (when he got second and extended his points lead) (ken is in his head )

to well it deff over now ,bring on the outdoors .

WHO THE HELL KNOW S WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT WK

#there no crown yet"

The supercross championship landscape has looked different every week, so far.

The races are for the title. The excitement of tomac closing on dungeys lead is gone because of a mechanical. 450s are boring in the title hunt assuming dungey keeps being dungey.

250s is kindof lame for the title if you arent a pro circuit fan.

Mechanicals really screwed the title chase for both classes. But with that being said, at least we will have everyone next weekend to batte it out and a new 250 division.

Such a disappointing night for an exciting championship run in both classes. Props to Shane and Eli for finishing and congrats to Marv
"disappointing night"...? Wow. That was one of the most exciting races of the year. Mechanicals and crashes are a part of the sport.
What was exciting? I thought it was boring, Marvin got hole shot and rode by him self

No, it is gone because Tomac crashed all on his own and broke his bike! That is way different than a mechanical.

Marvin did run away with it but it was exciting in the bigger picture of the season. The top 5 has been changing week to week and the series is still very much open.

i thought the track sucked tonight, it broke down very fast. Can Feld not afford to bring in more dirt for the track? Track was down to the floor in many spots, very slick and that was after only the first few races. I felt bad for Shane tonight, he was the clear winner until his KTM took a dump, but shit happens. Now the championship race is over, Hill can just mail it in from here. Maybe Forkner will be out of control and take Hill out and we can have a championship race again. Dungey just being boring and steady and racking up points like always. Bring on the outdoors!!!

How can you say the race was exciting?? Musquin stayed in first the entire race, Webb and Tomac got bike issues while in podium places. They were basically following Wilson and Dungey for 20 laps. Great passes.... Dry

Couldn't agree more. Respectfully, I feel that calling this a signed, sealed, and already delivered title is refusing to believe that anything could happen. That mechanical that happened to Eli tonight? That could've been Dungey. I don't wish a mechanical, or a crash for that matter, on anyone. The point is, next week could be an even crazier mix up in points. Eli could win 3 in a row. Marvin could start a hot streak and catch up in points. Mind you, just last week many of those posting were saying Tomac could make up 17 points on Dungey. Marvin is only 18 points down. It aint over til its over. A big congrats to the #25 as well... Happy for Marv!

I'm totally an outdoors guy but I'm really enjoying SX this year. Loads of good stories with Webb and Wilson doing great, Musquin getting his first win, Canard back, Reed in the mix, Stewart chasing a top 10 etc.

It's been really interesting.

Done? Musquin is 18 pts down, I don't know what are you talking about.
