He looked so good in his races. Mason Gonzales looked great too and was just riding a Rock River bike against a factory built Husky. I’m hoping he races next week too.

As long as it goes down to the last moto, I don't really care who gets the trophies.
We need a spectacle after this covid shit.

Ken might announce that he is skipping the nationals this year, he has a new baby due soon and I’m sure the last thing he wants is to bring the virus from the road into his house now.
Wouldn't he have announced that earlier instead of just keeping testing the bike a week before round 1? Maybe it's just me

For the 250, watch-out the LawrenceBros.

Maybe the "best" problem for Ferrandis this summer.

For race wins? Yeah, but a title? That means that they would have to stay on two wheels and finish every race
Yup. I think both Lawrence brothers are going to show flashes of brilliance, but the title is going to come down to Ferrandis, JMart and Cooper. All of the top 250 guys have ridiculous speed, but these three are the one's who've shown the most outdoor consistency.

true there was a ton of speculation before the SX restarted that he was not going to race, and look how that turned out...so I think I will wait for an official word than speculation by those who are not his fans

Pretty cool to see Barcia and Tickle at Fox today. Hoping Tickle was just having an “off” day as he didn’t look quite as comfy as what I’ve seen prior to going blue. Saw what appeared to be Craig and seemed like he did a 2 hour moto.
Harntraft on the gas all day. Harrison doing starts mostly. Tops today, goes to Ferrandis, dude was hauling.
Talking with some riding buddies that were at GH on Tuesday that said Ferrandis completely owned the place. By a bunch.

Can someone shed any light on "no Honda at Lorettas " comment above? We talking just the Amatuer Nationals?

Also all the Vital "insider" tid bits are pointing to a no show from Kenny, with Craig taking his place next to Sexton? Or at least preparing for that scenario. If Kenny races, where does that leave CC? He's been riding a 450 all summer?

Luckily being a slightly shorter season, it’s more likely we’ll see it go to the last round, even if it’s not that exciting and Eli has to get 19th to win or something. Lol

Honda (apparently due to COVID-19?) concerns stated that they would not be attending Loretta's to support Honda riders, but instead offered all riders who raced $250 ....I think that is the case

Ok purely speculation on my part, but is that why Craig was seen on an HRC bike?

This is an unfair narrative. He hasn’t had a perfect season outdoors or anything. Yes he’s been the best guy, but plenty of riders over the past few years have kept interesting be it KR, MM, or BB.

He won by 58 points last year. That's not exactly close. I think Tomac coming off the SX title will be unreal outdoors and everyone will be wondering where he went. I hope thats not what happens as great racing at the front would be much more fun for us.

In the totality of a season he’s going to win. You’re absolutely right. I do think this year is his least amount of Moto wins in the last 4 years. The field is too unreal. I think at least 8-9 people can legitimately win motos. Eli might get the most 2nd places of his career this year but I think he still wins the title and has at like 4 overall wins out of 9.
Tomac can run them down any weekend and he knows it!! He’s a damn beast outdoors period and they all better hope he gets stuck on the gate😝😝😝
