I think this could end up being one of the most exciting 450 championships in recent years!

Osborne on a roll, Musquin getting stronger, Barcia still lurking and Tomac looking to move up the points standings every week!

I'm not a Tomac fan, but my god I feel bad for the guy
I’m a tomac fan as well but at some point he deserves some of the blame on the bike blowing up. It happens too often for him, so when the conditions are like this he needs to realize he’s gotta back it down a bit to conserve the bike

That's what I thought. Adam finished both motos on the same equipment. You could see some guys (e.g. Ferrandis) clearly back it down a bit to save the bike

Man the rest of this year is bound to be amazing! I hope we get to see all 9 rounds play out and everyone stays healthy! ZO16 is on it and confidence is at an all time high. Marv picking things up quickly from race to race and bam bam and ET1 are bound to be done with bad luck hopefully just making it a hell of a fight til the end!

3rd 4th and 5th in points all with DNFs after only 2 rounds! Crazy day of racing, nothing like a good mudder to shake things up.

Congrats to Osborne but if last weeks top privateer had the same problems qualifying he would not have been allowed the same concessions

You're probably right but it didn't play out that way so we can't know. If they play a double standard in the future the AMA will burn for sure. Remember this day fellers.

The weather forecast for next weekend looks better than this round.

Rules are posted in the qualifying thread.

We can repeat it 20 times. It is within the rules. Rules are 3 sessions +lcq ; due to weather, exceptional measures can be taken, here only 1 session and the director can adjust. It is not like Osborne ran a fucking twin turbo jet ski or an helicopter. It was a very good call by the race director so I can't understand why a few people are stil crying.

Also, a B rider is not an A rider, a B rider has never qualified to ride with the A riders so I would understand if the same concessions would have not been made to a B rider.

Osborne just got very lucky with the schedule and that the B group was riding afterwards though, because I don't think he would have been allowed to ride with the 250A for instance.

If NBC doesn’t get their shit together this’ll be the last year I buy the gold package. They miss all kinds of shit or jump to their bs interviews. Then weigant channels his inner Shaheen to try and create drama. We get it. He barely qualified.

I'm all for pointing out the many, many flaws in Ralph Sheheen's SX announcing, but trolling Weigandt seems like a bridge too far. Sheheen is an embarrassment to the sport while Weigandt adds a ton of value. Weege and Langston are so far ahead of the SX announcers that nitpicking like this comes across as petty and just plain stupid.

I thought it looked like he backed it down both motos. Moto 2 I don’t think he had the option of riding any easier for the first half atleast

I changed goggles twice watching on tv, kidding. Drove from Palmyra Mo. cute waitresses at restaurant to north of Atlanta. I-24 across Tn. Had just a tiny bit of rain. Track is south and west, of where I crossed Tn. Time to run tile under the track, like farmers do. To keep there land productive.

I went to grab something to drink and when I came back I noticed that as well, but he got second. The results sheet shows that.

He was probably handed the 1st place trophy by accident because he got the red plate.

He looked a bit confused himself when he noticed it was the 1st place trophy.
