wonder why ET never caught on to the quads JH and AC were doing? Seemed way faster.
I'd have to think that his thought was "what for?"

Imagine those two go at it all of next year! I hope Cairoli can be as strong as this year. At some point his age will be a factor. Would be awesome to see him go out with 10 titles

He's prone to mistakes, we will see! I think a healthy Gajser will be close.

Good racing but lappers are in "suicide mode" especially on a track with so many big jumps. Time for a 107% something rule and to kinda reduce the jump size. Last week was pretty gnarly too.

Oh, right. Just wanted to confirm that you were, indeed, making an outrageous statement. Thanks for the clarification.

Impressive ride from Drew Craven, running 3,05's 5 laps behind leader. Someone pull that guy off :p

I don't see anyone able to do it. Herlings, AC and Gajser are the 3 fastest in GPs.

AC is going to retire soon, Gajser might go to USA. No one in MX2 looks to be a generational rider(maybe Prado, he is the closest).

Roczen wont be coming back to GPs anytime soon.

We will live in a world full of Herlings 1-1 days.

Eh, I think AC and JH are faster than Tomac. Had either of them gotten Tomac's moto 2 start in moto 1 they would have caught and passed him in my opinion. Tomac is a beast, no doubt, he's just not at those two guys level outdoors.

Herlings had a stomach flu when Cairoli beat him in a heat. No such problems today.

Vitalmx is going to have a hard time deciding who's FMOTP with so many guys out front. And remember that Roczen would beat everyone when you argue about it Grinning

I still have Tomac going 1-1 at Glen Helen.

I hear this all the time, but really, how many mistakes has he made since steppin on the 450? Like close to none.

No he is not... he almost never makes mistakes... he just had quite a few serous injuries which basicly is bad luck.. look at TG, he had multible crazy crashes, but no Real serious injuries..

I disagree. I think he got the speed but maybe not the same level of consistency as those two(and Roczen).
