Marchbanks is hurt and hasn't been on the bike since Salt Lake, except to do a few laps for a photo shoot. Plus he's racing a 450. I'm guessing you meant someone else?
Doh!
I meant Seth hammaker.

For some reason I alway get those two mixed up…

DC said it wasn't a press day. ML said he called it a press day for SEO and views.

It doesn't bother you when media companies don't tell the truth in order to get more clicks?
Maybe grab a ladder so you don’t have to reach so far next time.

Dungey doesn't even look like he took a day off, let alone came out of retirement. Super excited to see him out there again.

Who was on the 2 stroke? Stanky?

I think the guy on the 125 was Patrick Evans.

Very solid. I felt like Anderson and Sexton had a little more top-end speed in a few situations. But Dungey did a ton of laps and just looked like his old solid self.

Someone who looked visually rough today was Cairoli. He rode very few laps, rolled around a lot and seemed to be pulling in quite a bit and actually exited one of the sessions early. I only have a few clips of him due to this. Crossing my fingers he's feeling it more come race day.
A few things Tony is getting used to: the shorter American frame and Dunlop tires.

When you’re multi time world champion, at his age, he knows how to set up a bike. There are no points paid on PRESS DAY, and nothing to prove. He’s there to have fun, but at the same time set the bike up to his liking.

I’m not stressing him cruising. I could tell from the video he didn’t look like he was ripping. But again, no points paid on press day.

Something that will play into his favor: Tony has seen every shitty soil type across the globe and won on them all. Pala has especially shitty dirt, plus the insane ruts, never mind the jumps people acting like the dude doesn’t know how to jump all the sudden, I think we’re going to see world class speed from one of the sports most dominant racers.

As Iverson said: we’re talking about practice?

I believe on the new gen bike comment, he’s only been riding a production chassis at home. I’m not even sure on this gen bike if there is a long frame anymore.

125 was Patrick Evans but there’s also a 250 2-stroke out there. GasGas, not sure who.

That's because he hasn't taken a day off.

Hmm, judging by my arm chair. His front tire pressure looks about 1.3lbs off, the front end rebound seems too fast, compression is soft and he looks fat. He will be lucky if he makes the top 20.
3/10, would not bang.
