Vince pulls amazing starts, is racing with "fast company"...& he got 10th at A1 & 14th at STL &...somehow...supposedly...he's suppose to "move over"...or...get out of the way...?

So, for those of you making these silly comments...uh, yeah...

You know this is a race, right?

Am I reading things correctly?
Vince qualified directly from the heat at both races:
3rd at A1 Heat 1 (10th in the Main)
7th at STL Heat 1 (14th in the Main)

How the hell is anyone complaining or ranting about him?

As others have stated...there's been ALL SORTS of on-track carnage during the 2 night programs: has Vince caused ANY of it?

I think the problem is that people cannot let go of the past, so past 'indiscretions' by Vince somehow means he is still labelled a 'bad boy' even though he is far from that imho

Brayton, AC, Webb and more all got around Friese just fine at A1. I think that is one of Kenny's (and maybe Tomac's) weaknesses. He just can't seem to get around people sometime, even if he comes from way back and is considerably faster.

Nobody making the Main in the 450 class this year is anything short of incredible.

He’s known as one of the best at doing this, especially on lap one. Go watch Millville from a few years back.

But agreed. The comment was lame.

Never been a fan or hater of Vince. He makes the show and busts his balls trying to get results. He owns every bit of track he's riding on (unless he's getting lapped). If anyone has a problem getting around him...it's their problem...not his. If he is getting lapped...then get outta the way...same goes for everyone out there.

Once upon a time Friese was a maniac. He would be very much like Eric Sorby and intentionally take people out, especially those who just passed him. He would immediately square up the guy who just got around and torpedo them from behind in the next turn. He had all kinds of antics he shouldn't have and has been DQ'd, fined, and black flagged for it over the years.

But with age hopefully comes a little wisdom and perspective. His run-ins seem much less frequent and he found speed no one thought he had. He's a top 10 guy now. While you never shake all of your old demons he has done the most of anyone I've seen to repair his image and get better at his craft.

I feel the same way.
He's pulled some really sketchy moves in the past and there are a lot of guys who remember.
The fact that he has improved his speed drastically has not overshadowed his past. Evident by the Kroc comment.
Hopefully, with time, he can gain respect.
Apparently, I'm guilty as well. I still pucker up a little for the guys around him on the track.

Agreed. He deserves where he’s at now. Like others I cringe at times when he’s mentioned, I got to get over it.

He should have owned it and doubled down on his comment by naming the riders when Daniel Blair gave him the chance or kept his mouth shut from the beginning. Not a good look for a rider of his level in my opinion.
From the guy coming back from serious injuries talk about safety issues.. How dare he ! Right ?

Friese qualifies for the main----every race.
Friese is a recognized holeshot artist---against the best riders.
Friese has a reputation of being a worker. He busts ass during the week. Does a lot of testing.
Friese isn't known as a yapper, but rather a hard worker with a quiet demeanor.
Yet, some of you come on here repeatedly and put the guy on hyper-blast.
And, you are the same blowholes that will shit your pants when Tony Alessi is named Captain of Team USA for MXoN. 🤙
This right here.

The amount of heat this guy gets blows my mind. Last week he finished in 10th against the best in the world, ahead of guys like Hill and Osborne, and people treat him like he shouldn't be there. I don't get it.

You have a point. I was at St Louis SX and it was almost comical to watch every rider shake their head when they finally passed him. Like "thank God I got around him" It was almost a drinking game, "drink every time a rider shook their head passing Friese".. If it was, I would have been drunk by the end of qualifying before the night show even began

They would have to be racers to identify with an actual race, so no, they didn't know it was a race. No big surprise here Manny.

its like everyone forgets this because he hasn't torpedoed anyone lately...who knows maybe he grew up...sure he races hard...but his closet is full of boneheaded moves that people don't forget (except guys in this thread).

ricky touches on this mentality every race. you'll hear him say "he won't have issue if he can get around (insert rider here) as he races clean".....no one has ever said that while calling a pass on vince. Zacko races wide and hard...but his moves still ain't on vinces level...as zack can hang the whole race when hes on it.

if tony alessi manages anything MXON for us, i'm out. ain't watchin that circus. no offense...just absolutely not a fan of that rodeo.

Tony has come along way from the “believe the hype” days..
Look how much every rider on his program has improved!
Friese is a solid rider these days
Mookie looks amazing, physically and on the bike
Brayton got a win with them last year
Hill is already improving too.

kkawboy14 stated, "I would take his motorcycle career over mine!" That's a fact for sure.

Maybe if Feld \Dirt Works quit with the excessive track grooming. Don't forget, "Timed Practice" makes a one-lined track as well.
