That 250 main was epic. 

Hunter’s pass was incredible. 

James was hilarious. 

“Yeah, he lost his balance alright…” response quickly followed by giving Diffey credit for the right call was funny yet smooth. 

Sign me up on the Deegan bandwagon.  Ran lead group intensity then showed great disciple in a position most rookies in his boots would have ended up on he ground. 

Webb is a machine.  

Great to see the cowboy hat on the podium too. Go Cowboys! 

 

RC, Diffey and James are

Stewart said something about their phone and Twitter when Anderson got into it with someone. Laughing

Yeah, I have to agree with the cowboy hat, wear one myself.  I thought it looked pretty cool.  I come by my county cowboy accent honest.  My guess AP accent did too.  His accent is almost as bad as mine.  Good to see him and a different look and sound on the  podium.  That sand made the race.  I’d fall over just looking at it!!  Great race!!!!

When stew said jesussss I thought to myself is he allowed to say that?  😂 man stew was fantastic in the booth. I’d like to have stew reed and RC all together in the booth. The knowledge these guys have is unreal. Stew just lets his thoughts out which makes him so good.

Don’t know that the 450 main was anything special? No real racing, just Webb following Sexton until he gave it away to Webb. 
 

The 250 main had some excitement thanks to Hunter being so much better than the rest of the feild, but again, it was one pass in the last corner that made it special, No real racing between the riders there either.

Delusional....^^^

Webb hunting Sexton the whole race.     Sexton crashed and still finished 2nd.      Nothing special....give me a freakin break.

I know that you got a massive hard on for Webb, but they never changed positions one time before Sexton threw it away, What was so special about that? I want to see good racing before we call it the best race of the year, not because your favorite rider won…

250 main was exciting. But I thought it was the worst track and 450 main of the year.

If somebody did not thoroughly enjoy last night's event, to the point they would be critical of it, then I'd say they should find a new sport to follow.

Completely agree! Most exciting 250 main of the year, but that track was a yawn fest. I will never say that a supercross race with 48 second lap times and leaders lapping up to 8th is the best race ever.

Agreed.

I think a big part of the "complaints" are the Webb haters.

 

Replace Webb with Tomac dogging Chase the whole race and won and it would be "such a great race....etc etc etc" celebration today.

Sexton crashed because of Webb's pressure. Webb had 9 laps in the 49's, Chase 8. Chase's best lap was less than a tenth faster than Cooper's. He was gonna pass him either way. It was fun to watch the stalking.

Plessinger had 6 laps in the 49's: it's getting good, the orange machines are now on par with the red and the swine.

Guess we will never know. i Was sure that Eli would pass Roczen and that did not happen.

A rider following another rider for 90% of the moto without a passing attempt is not exciting racing..

Speaking of Orange bikes, any word on when Marvin is coming back?

James actually brought a human being aspect to the show and it was great! It was almost like hanging out with my buddies. It would be amazing if we had those three and they could just talk smack and call the race without being censored.

Hunter's pass was incredible to watch. I felt pumped for Hunter and felt the disappointment for Thrasher all at the same time. Hopefully Thrasher gets a win this season. He rode great at Atlanta but needed to step up his pace by .2 seconds over the course of the race. I'm sure he's kicking himself. Hunter had that "shooter's shoot" mentality. Great to see.
