Seems like Aldon + Webb is indeed a dangerous combination.

He did the same thing at A1 last year. Not saying he’s not better this year, but A1 is always crazy and you can’t take this race for how the rest of the season will go. 

His start and his position in the first lap were totally different though.

Peacock replay is up. Time to rewatch the 450 main.

You obviously didn't watch MXDN.

Watched it from the other side of the fence boss. Check the part where I said SX. Not a one off MX team race where they did a single moto together and Tomac got stuck behind a downed rider on the start then did his part to win the event.

Did Malcom’s bike hit neutral or stall?  Looked like the Reed crash at Cardiff. 

Someone said Reeds fuel pump failed so that couldn’t of been what happen to Malcom he got up and started riding again if it was fuel pump failure wouldn’t of started

Not hype if ya getting  the results. 

People are saying he would battle and beat Tomac for 450 wins in SX. Comparing him to RC. That’s excessive hype.

It was a good ride. Just pointing out that he had a great A1 last year too then struggled. No doubt they’ve made improvements to the bike and his program.

I thought for sure Tomac would back down after he went down. Boy was I wrong. What a ride, and I'm rooting for him to get that 2nd all time in SX wins.

Would also love if Webb could continue to be a contender like he was tonight.

Looks like they are rolling out the Webb Wagon already.

Same as last year. Webb has done well at A1 and I hope he keeps the momentum this year...

Nice to see my assassin Pchop getting some play. Cool

 

I loved the presser yesterday when Coop was asked about being a 2X SX champ and being stuck in the back row....   His comment was "I'm washed up".     It was then I knew he had the fire again... I genuinely hope he's back this year as he made 2019 and 2021 very exciting seasons. 

What an incredible 450 main all around.      Some great passing/battles.   I hate to say it, but I just knew Mookie was going to wad up...again.      Nice to see a zook be competitive again...but I think the weak link is Kenny now (fade).    DF and CW moving thru the pack was awesome.  I'm still shocked Coop passed Sexton.   Anderson just had nothing all night.  Barcia looked spicy tonight....I like it.      Tomac....what else can you say....he goes down and still wins the race, he is truly a legend.

 

250 main was boring as hell.      Not a Forkner fan....but damn sure hate to see him go out again like that. 

 

Broadcast quality was pretty good overall.    I hate the "leader" lines they used to identify riders.

That was a crazy good 450 main tonight. Hoping the guys who took big hits are OK but I'm a bit worried for Forkner and Brown....

Last thought before I try to sleep, but with how rutty and technical the track was and with how well he rode in qualifying, I thought Marvin would be up there tonight. He struggled a bit in the heat, and his start in the main was not good and he basically sat 10-12 all race. Weird.

The way Forkner was riding I am surprised it took until the main event for him to be carted off the track.

Was he cutting down the corners last year? He genuinely looks much faster this year already. You can tell the bike is working

Jett would work Eli and Sexton tonight, change my mind

Haha ya no. Forkner was faster during qualifying and Hampshire was matching his lap times while coming through the pack in the main.

I was watching the races at a buddies house and one of the girls mentioned how long Jett's neck was. She then compared his neck to some guy off the internet and shared some pics of them. I now can't get that image out of my head. Obviously Jett's neck is thicker, but it is long.

This is hilarious because I’ve heard many people mention how long his neck is. I hate you for now burning this comparison into my head. Grinning

Once she said that I was like "holy shit she's right." The wifes and girlfriends who could care less about the races notice things we would never look at. But when she said that, all the guys were amazed how right she was. Chicks look at things differently than guys.

Ya it's a shame to see him crash out before the first turn. Especially since he was way faster then Jett in the qualifiers. Forkner has horrible luck.

I agree about hating to see him go down but you must not have watched qualifying. He was .04 out on Jett with 4 riders inside .17. lol.

The thing that stood out far more than the time was the several near get offs.

This thought has never crossed my mind but now every picture I look up I feel like it must but photoshopped because dude’s neck is huge and I never even noticed. 36AD0CCE-E706-43F3-A66A-A936DC843492.jpeg?VersionId=0b0u2KGm

That photo makes it look like he doesn't even have a head, just a face that grows off a neck

Roczen getting tired of riding that 300 pounds old Suzuki is not news to me.
