Saying that Malcolm is in a tough position not wanting to pass Webb bec he doesn't want to interrupt or mess up the title fight???

That goes against everything they run the races for. So Malcolm shouldn't try and pass Webb even though they're not teammates?

I disagree wholeheartedly

He said that Malcolm doesn’t want to get too aggressive and cause an issue where Webb goes down.

Yup that’s what I heard too. I thought it was a valid point.

Doesn't seem uncommon. I remember Anderson saying similar about the Dungey/Tomac title that he didn't want to "be that guy"

Yep. In other words, doesn't want to pull a Marchbanks.

That was horseshit that they interviewed Kroc who finished 7th or whatever before Mookie who just got his very first 450 podium.

He shoulda punted webb into the cheap seats and made the championship interesting imo.... I've been. Waiting for somebody to punt him, but I'm convinced every is afraid of either webb or Roger decoster

Ya Marchbanks ruined Mcadoo's shot at a title. Definitely didn't have anything to do with Cam himself pulled the eject lever ever time he got on the track

It takes a certain sort of rider to piss off Malcolm to the point that he will do that. Cooper is not that rider. We know who is though....

Mookie was busy celebrating hence them doing the quick interview with Roczen before moving Back to Mookie.

Roczen is a much bigger story than Malcom taking a 3rd. It is cool to see him up there having so much fun. But Ken really is the story of the night.

I wish Mookie raced outdoors...

Sexton is the future of the HRC team, but would I love to see Mookie on a factory Honda while Sexton matures.

I’m a Roczen fan, but if Kenny keeps dropping anchor like he did in these last two races - how’s he going to do outdoors?

That track was too damn tight with few good places to pass cleanly.

I really dont get that ”tip-toe around the points leader” mentallity. Coop deserves to be raced just as hard as the other guys on the track.

If you want to be the champion, just earn it ffs. Not saying that Mookie should have taking Webb out but a normal aggressive pass just to make it happen ffs..

I disagree wholeheartedly
Supercross season starts out and most the field is "racing for position" and riding hard and aggressive, as season progresses the top guys have backed down aggression and are cautious around the points leader as well as other riders. This sport used to be more of individualistic racer mentality and less business mentality.

Regretfully this ^ as well as small-one line tight track venues that make passing harder combined with poor broadcast production geared for the general public (not rider fans) makes for boring racing and series by the time we get into later part of season. The .general public fan gets excited about the spectacle, riders want to see racing.

"I wish Mookie raced outdoors . . ."

That door may have opened last night
