Everything came together for KRoc just the right way tonight. Better pace early, no battling, and a track that seemed to suit his best strengths. I was paying very close attention to his body language throughout the race and he still looked totally gassed at the end. If Webb was close and made it a fight I don't think Kenny would have had anything for him.

He also looked and sounded absolutely miserable during his podium interview.

Don't be surprised if Kenny he has a less than stellar performance on Wednesday. People who just want to hate and think he's lying obviously have been fortunate to have never been seriously sick or injured in their lives. Congrats, dorks.

Maybe Kenny just has a comprised immune system. Too many surgeries, too many antibiotics.

I’m a Kenny fan, he’s been through a lot.
Buuuuuttttt, excuse after excuse when we as fans don’t even need it as he has nothing to prove to any of us at all is kind of weird considering he just had a medical miracle and beat asthma, shingles , covid, fever, uneven tire wear, poor fuel mileage, low voltage, and just about anything else this week.
Strong performance and keep up the good work but please , enough with the excuses man.
It was obvious he had a real problem in the other races.
But if you would prefer he was just a robot that just said "oh man i dont know what happened out there tonight, i just wasnt riding well." after every race i guess the excuses are annoying

The problem is, if riders comment on their problem they are whiners, if they dont they are robots, and people complain about the lack of characters and the lack of transparency in the sport.

Shingles is a nasty thing. Once you get a diagnosis and some medication things get back to normal pretty quick. Shit thing is the symptoms can come back real quick as well, if you get them real bad just wearing a t-shirt hurts. Go Kenny!

Really happy for Ken. It's been a shit show the last few races for him.

I still hope he wins out the championship. Above anyone, he deserves it with all he's done to get where he is.

Why is it that everybody seems so negative about people that are pointing out the obvious facts about what's going on here? I'm one of the biggest fans of Kenny there is but if you can't see that this is extremely odd and misleading and seemingly unrelated To how he performed tonight then I guess those of us are skeptical just must be jerks.
And y'all are gonna have to group RC in with the 3 of us that are commenting like this because hes just as baffled as to why this happens but has to hold back on the broadcast you can hear in his voice..... I can't believe only a few of us are raising an eyebrow over his performance since the salt Lake rounds started and we're getting trounced for pointing it out.
What is your explanation if Kenny hasn’t been telling the truth? If he was finishing 3rd every race behind Webb and Tomac and he couldn’t run their pace I could understand the ‘excuses’ line. But he has had their pace at every race apart from 1, and he’s been getting beat by guys who he’d normally beat with his eyes shut. It’s clear to see that he isn’t right physically. Him winning doesn’t mean that his medical issues are miraculously gone.

He came into this stretch of races with genuine hope of winning a title, and he’s ended up not really being able to even challenge for through no real fault of his own. He deserves enormous credit for having the mental strength to keep fighting and putting himself in a position to get results

Medical miracle?
I wish he’d stop with the hypochondria and just say “I wasn’t feeling it/good enough” tonight when he does badly.

An interview with KR on the dreaded MX Geoffs website covers the early pick up on the Shingles diagnosis, with Doc Bodnar being part of it. It does deal with the initial finding of a blister on / in the vicinity of KRs tailbone, and, the quick use of appropriate medication / antibiotics.

Said interview may well be up on other websites, for those that can't / won't click on MX Large.

As many have observed, so many 'fans' bitch about the lack of info from riders, and, so many bitch about when it is given, then labelling it as excuses. And ever do the the snakes devour their tails.Whistling

I've had shingles. It erupts from either the lumbar spine or from the cervical spine. Lumbar eruptions cause painful rashes around the midsection while cervical eruptions typically affect the nerves in the scalp and cause rashes in the scalp, forehead and sometimes affect the optical nerves. I had the cervical flavor and I can tell you there's no way you'd be able to put a helmet on. This leads me to assume he has the lumbar type but I'm curious...as often as Kenny posts shirtless and general anatomy & injury photos on IG, why haven't we seen the rash? This is out of character for him.

But whatever...That. Ride. Was. AWESOME! I kept pointing out to my budding motocrosser of a Son how perfect his form is and how he manages to be silky-smooth and frightening-quick at the same time. Just a great example and a pleasure to watch.

All of this other bullshit aside, when Kenny rides like he did on this night, it is effortless efficiency. RC was so right, he put on a clinic. Great bounce back ride-after getting beat down like a rented mule the last 3 races to a win like tonight-wow. Very impressive.

Congrats to KR! Just when he convinces everybody that he's running on empty, he pulls off a ride like that.

And now who has the best Racecraft and is winning the mind games?

Why didn't CW try harder to stay with him? Because KR had convinced him he didn't need to. KR is just going to fade & hand him the spot, so why push?

And the result is a win with no drama - even looking effortless, almost.

Also, back to 2nd in the standings - a place I hope he can hold onto.

Wonder which Kenny we'll see on Wednesday?

There’s only mysterious medical ailments when he races poorly. Otherwise everything is great and never felt better. But if he shits the bed Wednesday we’ll hear a resurgent of some issue. I got respect for all he’s been through but he’s always been full of excuses even before all the arm crap.

The guy got lapped twice a week ago, it amazes me that people can watch what’s happening to him on the track and think that there is nothing wrong with him

I honestly don’t want to hear a riders excuses why they’re off the pace. That kind of stuff usually gets leaked or can be gleaned from others.

Now if you win and you want to tell the world just how effed up your health is then have at it. Otherwise speak in generalizations.

Kenny is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. I don't know what to think other than his ride was a thing of beauty yesterday Smile

And appthe asthma is too....for today's race. I'm no medical professional but I know enough common sensical information to know that if he was just diagnosed with shingles a couple days ago he doesn't come back and have the strongest race he has in 2 weeks, he didnt fade at all. The races he went backwards in where where he was in traffic and/or battling with Eli and Cooper. He also mentioned more than a few times that they've gotten the bike much better as well and that sounds to me like he wanted to blame the bike but didn't for some reason.

I'm sorry but a race like he had tonight makes me even more skeptical about what hes been saying has been affecting him since he got to Utah and starting in November before the season but didn't rear its ugly head until 7 or 8 months later. Don't get me wrong I'm super pumped that he won tonight but hes straight up out of it as far as the championship is concerned. Eli would have to have the most epic meltdown since Damon Brad Shaw in order For Kenneth Or even Cooper for that matter to win the title. And in my opinion that won't ever be labeled as and history making come back as much as it will be labeled an epic meltdown by the series points leader.
Are you a flat earther?

I think it’s taken Kenny 3 weeks to get back into shape. I think he took the break a little too easy and didn’t train hard enough. You don’t go from fading to 10th to winning and still have medical issues.

When you look at the previous three races to the one last night yes it clearly looked like something was wrong. But watching the race last night it’d be tough to argue that anything is noticeably wrong. I’m not someone who thinks Kenny is lying or just making excuses or whatever some people think. There is no doubt in my mind that he is dealing with some issues right now but I can see why some might be skeptical.

That is what people used to say about Tomac just a year ago.

How many people have illnesses that are completely linear and have you feeling the same day after day? Not many, there will be days where you feel better and days where you feel worse, depending on a number of factors.

Yesterday was a cooler day, not a particularly difficult track in the terms of really having to push to make a difference (in fact probably the opposite) and he didn’t have to really battle with anyone and overly elevate his heart rate. He made a quick pass on Webb on was able to get in a nice rhythm with no drama. I don’t understand the scepticism, because the alternative is ridiculous

^ This!

I have often said it is mental with Kenny. Heck, it is usually mental with all of us including the pros. Some days we all feel better than others. No one wins all the time except Ricky. Wink

He reached a point where he had enough fading and fixed it. He was always capable of winning.

I think it was several factors that have already been mentioned, but I think those two flat turns and the long straightaway helped him a lot as well. Also, for people calling bullshit on all of it, did you see him on the podium? He had to be absolutely giddy inside after the win, but he looked miserable and just completely worn the fuck out.

You don’t have to convince me. The skepticism though likely comes from the fact that within a matter of days he went from some of his worst races this year to arguably one of his best.

I hear ya, but to me that inconsistency, being up one minute and down the next, only serves as evidence to back up what he’s been telling us
