Gutted for Ando, he definitely was on the gas tonight.

Tomac no doubt was smiling/laughing.

However if this happens again, its gonna be something all the keyboard warriors are gonna be all over. Bike probably needs more oil capacity to help with cooling for professional use.
I wonder if he was smiling when he got passed too?

I can't really remember Anderson's 2018 championship year too much but I felt like he raced from the front a bit? He is on it right now, going forward fast and pace to burn, combine that with his "ability" to pass people haha, I think this smells like a 'chip again...

I don’t think he was smiling when Anderson dropped him

Not sure if anyone talked about it yet, but when Roczen went down when he tried to cut down and Anderson came up the inside, did Roczen hit him? I can’t remember. But if he did, wondering if that’s what caused the bike issue.

It has almost twice the oil capacity of the Yamaha 450 already.

I wouldn’t be smiling over a mechanical when the guy just went by me pretty easily.

1. It was clearly not a clutch and was a coolant issue. 2. He left husky after three years of every rider on the team having major mechanical issues which hurt multiple riders.

Everyone doggin on kawis coolant systems like its a wide spread issue with the thousands of other kawis people own…

Coolant cap got damaged when he hit kenny. Loss of pressure = boil over.

If I was Ando, I would’ve made damned sure Kawasaki had the cooling system issue bulletproofed before I signed the contract.

I hope one of the crack moto industry journalists get to work and let us know what happened.

Anderson was flying! Almost Stewartesk, Hope this doesn't affect his confidence in the integrity of the bike. Confidence is a fickle thing in this sport. Not a good look for Kawi.

That was funny to watch... el hombre passes et3 on his old bike.... then, it starts smoking.... just like it used to for eli.... then et3 motors away for a podium on his yammerhammer.....

Makes et3 look smart to get away from kawi.... he's been there, done that, and got tired of his bike costing him championships...

Love el hombre.... but until kawi figures their bike out, good luck ....

Watch the pass again…the only contact between Jason and Ken was back wheel to front wheel…nowhere near the cooling system

If Wedge’s hunch is correct, I sure wouldn’t want to be the mechanic that forgot to tighten the radiator cap!

Is this the new Honda curse? 250 team has been on the struggle bus, they lose ET3, AC9 is a shit show, Mechanical Failure may have just cost El Hombre a title hunt…..part of me can’t help but think this is Karma for ditching the MXDN a few year back.

PS.... it was a coolant hose issue not clutch

I say he wins the title hands down. Nobody has the speed Jason does and mentally he is ready to slay the competition.

Really disappointing, the 21 was looking great. The radiator cap doesn’t sound right, reminds me of the old fallback “electrical issues” we used to hear a lot.

Do the riders give the bike a once over before lining up? I’ve never seen it if so.

Don’t come in here with actual video evidence now 😂

Amazing that the radiator cap/cooling hose/water pump got damaged from the impact to the swingarm area. 😂😂😂😂
