Anyone know if Anstie will be with that team next year.. or any team in the US? I've been pretty impressed with him considering he's coming back from a pretty bad injury. Outside of the guys winning races I'd say he's the "best of the rest" or at least one of.
I hope he somehow gets a factory ride. He's been great but you can see how he's struggling with the bike. The suspension looks pretty bad when you see him ride next to guys like Tomac.
He's just coming back from injury, has never raced a Japanese 450 before and is with a team that has never raced outdoors... Considering all that he's doing amazing. Looks like he will get 9th in points.

You have been drinking. He came in crazy hot and could have just destroyed Zach, but instead almost crashed and rode over the berm.

Yeah, the fact that they're not televised live has a lot to do with it IMO.

Still, I remember when these threads were an *event* and we all barrelled in with our 6-packs, hot takes, and feigned outrage. I pour one out for those of us who still try to keep that spirit alive.

No doubt AC could have hit Zach. Classy move that he avoided the collision. That is what we expect from him.

Good guy and probably the future winner of many championships.

What happened to Savatgy in the 1st moto?

I hope Broc Tickle is OK. He actually got a 6th place start Moto 2, so it kills me to see him wad up and DNF.

My theory on less live posts during the race is most of us (including myself) have to watch the race on the same device we post with to see it live, whereas in seasons past we could see it live on TV and post as we watched.

Not on TV anywhere in the world it seems and the NBC app not being open to international viewers (without using VPN etc) is a big miss.
The race threads are short because comparatively few can and are watching it live. It’s a damn shame.
Now I’m off to YouTube.......

I did. I thought maybe AC hit him or he hit AC. He's done in other motos, though? Interesting.

With the Twisted Tea sponsorship and Max’s results I hope Suzuki ponies up factory parts for the HEP bikes and Max stays put.

Brock rode around the track slowly after he got up. Not sure if he was hurt or the bike was.

Remember the (stupid) controversy that erupted after Broc Tickle thanked his dog on the podium?

I tend to agree, JGR, although a well financed big team don't................well we all know the answer.

Yes, with Kenny in it. Apart from that we fans can be really grateful! With beginning of the pandemic back then during spring who would have thought that we would get such a amount of racing towards the end of the year. Couldn't ask for more.

Let's see Roczen Anderson Webb and Ferandis next year. Might be a pretty deep field in 2021.

Maybe he has some kind of injury at his left leg that he is hiding?

Weird for Jett to go after Cooper on social media. Did they have a thing at some point? I remember something happening with Forkner earlier in the year, that's about it

Listening to Matthes’ interview with him it sounds like he will be with that team next year. He mentioned that he was excited to get 12 weeks of SX riding on a bike he’s already comfortable on.

Jett shoulda just said it was cool, because it is a really cool picture. That shows a bit more of Copper's personality and I like him even more now. I am sure most people do too as most consider their dogs as part of the family.

It is just a special occasion, he is not in the title hunt this year due to his wrist injury during his outdoor preparation, and after waiting all mx season to get his first win and with style he has all the right in the world to be happy !

Have to say Jett is right on this one. Taking ur pet to podium is unprofessional (and same goes to donuts).
He could have taken pictures after race to his own photobook or garage wall with dog but not in podium.
