We are being spoilt with the racing this year. Look at the points separation in the top 6! It's awesome to have so many personalities at the top too

How does Ralph still have a job?

The racing was great throughout the night. I was hoping for a KR win over Eli, but Eli was really good tonight. Webbs pass on Ken was fine, just a little outside in pass. Contact didn’t look to bad, but Ken looked in pain. What is up with Osborne? He looks terrible this season. I didn’t figure him for a win this season but he has looked pretty awful so far.

Overall a pretty interesting race day. Adam looked pretty good for 12-15 minutes. He is learning and he will be just fine, he’s a rookie in a deep field.

I may be wrong (and I am wrong a lot) but to me it looked like the ruts in that last turn had a lot to do with the contact between Coop and Kenny. Didn’t look intentional or dirty to me, just the way they fell into the ruts there.
No way dirty. Last corner, for a championship. Even Kenny’s on board.

Ken’s bike looked off.. he was laboring the last few laps... clearly uncomfortable pushing as he started jumping the whoops. He lost a butt load of time, while Cooper on the other hand got better. Ken was off, but he’ll need to find another gear soon...these guys are coming.

I’ve said it many times. Webb’s got that mamba mentality.

Fellas I wanted Kenny to beat Webb but it didn’t happen. I had flashbacks of the pass last year. Webb’s hunger is something. Look at page one I had Kenny beating Webb and woulda had all 5 top picks. So I’m more bummed out than anyone but the truth hurts.

Bud I’m gonna say it. That was fitness and nothing less. If it was a triple Crown Kenny had it but webb ran him down. Sorry

His bike was fine and he looked great. He got beat straight up by both Tomac and Webb. Webb was coming fast, he was putting great lap times down. I never understood diminishing other guys performances just because someone gets beat.

Insane how much time Webb can make in those last laps.

Again Kenny started jumping the whoops mid race and that cost him a lot of time. Really weird to see Ken Roczen struggling there (when i say struggling i mean compared to Eli).
It's not the first time Kenny has struggled in the whoops this season!

Kenny's bike does not like square edge bumps. When the track and whoops break down he really struggles with harshness from bike, he's said that. Like first race he couldn't hold on to it. Glendale struggling massively in then when whoops got cupped out. Same way halfway through this. And let's be clear Kenny can skim whoops better than anyone in the field. Until they get chucked out, which is the exact opposite of Webb who is average till they go to crap and he's one of the best

Ya, really weird. The years before and also last year besides his fatigue thing he was THE GUY in the whoops.
Is that because he doesn't run such a stiff setup anymore? Could be.

Yes sir I heard the rumor Kenny was sick all week. You realize Kenny’s my guy. I been rooting for him since he was in the GPs. Just saying tonight fitness “flu” was the reason.

That’s a fact! I missed that one badly. I didn’t think Tomac could best Roczen on that technical track. I was wrong.

Agree. Irrespective of setup or fly or whatever, so far he’s been better when the tracks have been more like the test tracks and worse when they’ve broken down more...

Great night. Tomac and Roczen and Webb were on another level than everyone else. Great racing. Bummed for Roczen getting hurt though.

My take always for tonight was Webb showing that speed again and fire and Showing he belongs with Roczen and Tomac and ferrandis looking incredible.
