Yes it's only first race, but who were biggest disappointments for h1?

I would say Bloss, he did awesome at the end of 2020 and now didn't even make a main event

Quite suprised with Webb, I thought he was a sure thing for a podium..
Silver lining is tomac, Webb and Osborne all had average finishes so the points will be tight for a while

The number of spectators in the stands.

Me in 2019 would be so bummed seeing this.

I agree the track was disappointing- there was only a single top ten pass (Marv on AC) in the last two-thirds of the race.

J. Lawrence and Anderson.

Wonder what's up with Anderson? If any of you watched the interview that Ralph and RC did with the entire RR Husky Team, Anderson seemed so disconnected and uninterested. He wasn't engaging like the rest of the team members and you could just see all over his face that he wasn't into it. Maybe just a bad day for him that day?

Tomac. That was a horrible start for a guy hoping to defend a title. It’s gonna be a long year if he can’t figure out how to holeshot a race.

Anderson was loyal to Bobby Hewitt. Now that Bobby isn't around, the team probably has a different feel, and he may not enjoy the new team culture.

Because Tomac didn’t win.

Track was fine to me as well.

the track.

but I bitch about it constantly. When the LCQ guys are hitting the same lines as the top 3 in the 450 main, there's something seriously wrong with our sport.

No fans. They make a big difference. Was still great to have racing to watch, but can’t wait to hear the crowd cheer again when something cool happens. It’s all much more exciting when there’s fans

I watched the races on Peacock even though it was on NBCsn and the dead air between races without commercials was just annoying. At least on the MX races, the announcers would continue to talk about the race the entire time. They should find something like interviews or anything to fill the time.

Top 15 riders qualified in the same second lap time. Same line around the track. Passing opportunities were terrible. Previous champions sat in the same positiion the entire race. Whats the point lf going 20+2 if the onlyt thing that matters is the start

The audio guy at NRG. You couldn’t hear most of the podium interviews but the commercials were blaring loud. Then they’d get some echos going followed by screaming feedback. Horrible job.

Those bitching about the fans weren’t there. The riders most definitely appreciated having some butts in the seats. You could see it at opening ceremonies and with the podium speeches. We couldn’t hear a damn thing Craig said but the emotion on his face was clear and the crowed cheered him heavily - and he heard it.

Track was ok. There were places to pass but they are all so good it takes a mistake usually. No one was really forcing the issue being round 1. You could see guys let up instead of blasting someone. That will change as points race gets tighter. Dirt was very good.

Im not sure why they deem it necessary to make a new track all the time....go back pick out the best layouts and stick to them.

Obviously Tomac. He was like 7th or 8th after the start then drops back, gets in to it with Freise of all people twice, and then cruises around in 14th for half the race.

1. Tomac, obviously.
2. Plessinger. Out of the three 450 Star Yamahas, he finishes the worst with an eighth. Looked great in the heat race, but he just doesn’t look comfortable on the Yamaha 450. Reminds me of Steve Lamson; awesome on the small bike but not-so-great on the bigger bike.
3. Sexton. A lot of hype; fastest qualifying time. 14th in the main event is underwhelming.
4. Jett Lawrence. Should’ve been on the podium.
