I wondered why Osborne wasn't racing this week, felt it was a opportunity lost. Then hearing his comment that I never thought about, the age rule, he would have to race 450s and doesn't make sense with his prep for MXdN.

Tomac rode great, but the people comparing FIM and AMA motocross, myself included, aren't doing so on the basis of last week's race alone. It's the previous 6 years of MXoN results, the fact that European riders, who began their career in FIM, have won so many championships recently, and the overall speed of the top FIM guys. And I can't speak for everyone who has been in this discussion, but personally I'm just happy that AMA riders are no longer expected to win everything! It feels like a genuine competition now. Watching riders like Carmichael kick everyone's ass was fine as a display of unbelievable skill, but the quality of the racing when the two series meet has been brilliant recently.

Roll on 2nd motos! Hopefully Cooper starts near the front, I like that guy. Also want to see Jonas and Sewer get a good start!
Oh My.

Herlings isn't actually unbeatable. US doesn't have to re-learn how to ride outdoors. Supercross suspension settings work just fine on a GP track. And there are a lot of fair weather US MX fans on Vital but they are all back on the Tomac train now.

And SodiPop jumped out the window.
Yep!

Did anyone recognize JH84 had a XC tank on and AC222 did not?
It's been mentioned in ptibits before, JH rides more aggressively and risks running out of gas with the SX tank. So they run the XC tank on sand tracks.

Prado needs to start training in some warmer weather, I know he's young and still goes to school I guess? so he has time but if he's going to live up to the potential people say he has then he can't DNF at every race that's hot. Feel bad for the kid, though he's one hell of a rider.

I was surprised when they said Alessi was going to be in the booth. But so far he is doing a good job. Informative and the right level of input

Yeah like you say, he is 16 and still in school. He has time to get fitter and better.

I wouldn't worry, yet.

Funny thats the only part you take from my post where i clearly say "no excuses Tomac beat him straight up'' but since you wanted to bring it up as an excuse, at Ironman he didn't have this much resistance coming through the pack and you know it he even blew by Bagget like he was standing still...
APLMAN99 wrote:
When you throw out an excuse then follow it up with "no excuses", it sorta nullifies the "no excuses".......
BS because thats not an excuse its a mistake by Herlings not getting a good start it sure wouldn't have been a 28 second gap if Herlings got a good start.
