Nobody should consider Malcom's race as any sort of disappointment. Consider for instance his pace over the last 10 laps. Mookie was cleaned out by Marv on lap 12 of 22, which left him with 10 uninterrupted laps to finish the race. A detailed look will surprise many. I had to check the numbers twice....

Average Lap Time and Std Dev over last 10 laps (Laps 13-22) of the race:
Musquin: 60.747 / .601
Stewart: 60.832 / .362
Webb: 60.853 / .562
Sexton: 61.127 / 1.024
Barcia: 61.406 / 1.155
Tomac: 61.428 / .507
Savatgy: 61.476 / .862
Roczen: 61.570 / 1.067
Plessinger: 61.572 / .503
Anderson: 62.728 / 2.309
Ferrandis: 66.050 / 7.098
What is more stunning than the sheer speed at the end of the race (fitness) is the consistency. A Std Dev of .362 is something you would expect to see in elite level kart racing, not in Supercross. That is ridiculously consistent. That means he can go faster....
This is probably why Mookie was so furious with Marv. That take out cost both of them a ton. Marv probably had the speed for P2, but he got impatient. Mookie could have been P3-P5 even with that bad start.
Big picture...did you ever think you would see Mookie be one of the fastest guys at the end of the race? While P7 is not the goal, you can bet Aldon looked at his speed at the end of the race and told him everything is just fine. All Mookie needs to do is get starts, race smart, and charge hard in the 2nd half of the race.

The stewarts had knowlege about aldons program since James days and still Malcom have turned up over weight (for a pro athlete) each season, being fast at practice and quali and then faded like a stone in the main.
It’s good to see him finally rise to his potential, he has always had the speed so it has been frustrating to seing him lack the fitness that is way easier to find than speed.

Right now it looks like Webb, Marv and Mookie are set for good seasons. We knew to expect that from Webb... Barcia? If he does not get a start, he will inevitably end up in some sort of mayhem, which over the long run is why he will never win a title.
