Angry Tomac vs confident Marvin should put a show tonight and I bet lurking Anderson will be up there too.

Savatgy is looking stronger than I️ would have guessed.

Early surprises from 1st practice...
Savatagy on pace.
Barcia not on pace.
Reed 15th Sad For some reason I thought he was going to be better than 2018 SX season on the JGR bike.

Big props to Savatgy, he was catching a boatload of hate. That’s impressive, hopefully he can carry it over to the race.

Yeah, kind of surprised about Savatgy, but glad to see it.
Was expecting a little more from Barcia, but he's not too far off. But I bet he sure hates to see Villo up in front of him, on what's probably a much closer to stock bike. It's going to be a fun night!

Reed has traditionally never shown his true race speed in practice.

Savatgy took his chance to get on the 450 team, he needs to show he can do it in the top class now. No reason to think he wont, but he needs to be a solid performer. Top 5's rather than just top 10's

RV looking very respectable, and seeing the track, it is a shame a few Euro guys didnt stay over.

Sure hope Savatgy can find his place on the 4fiddy. Looking good so far.

And yes, I SURE wish some of the Euros would have stayed for this one. Would have been interesting to see how they would have done.

I’d say if Reed doesn’t pick up the pace, any chance of his getting a ‘19 ride of any sort with JGR will pretty much evaporate.

I expected to be a bit more upfront, I hope he does well.

Oh great, first another MXoN win for France and now they are taking over the All-Star race... (:

Pretty impressive time for a French rider (who is not on a muddy outdoor track).

French rider on top of the Amateur All-Stars timing so far. Interesting.

Quick question.

Does anyone know if Tre Fierro is eligible to race the amateur all stars class? He's listed on there but he rode for team Mexico just last weekend at MXdN. Isn't that a pro event?

Edit: WTH, my phone just did a double post, and with about a 10 minute gap. Gotta luv this new technology
