It's mental for him.

 

He's usually the fastest guy throughout the week. Webb even said he can't go any faster to keep up with him some days. It's totally a mental issue and we've seen it before when he had to put a random red light on his handlebars as some sort of reminder to breath. 

 

Aldon even said the smallest things can bother him and absolutely ruin his day.

Ah so it is white privilege. 

Yes

Very stressful having a rich dad who handed Christian multiple factory rides when he wasn’t really that good… wish i had it that bad. 

He's won a 250 regional title, finished top 10 in the 450 class, finishing 5th overall in 2022 Nationals, which is really good when you look at the competition he beat (Dungey, Plessinger, and Barcia), and is currently in the top 10 in Supercross.  If a rider is able to win a title, finish top 10 and make a good living racing, then they are fast, not just average.  When has the standard changed so much that if a rider is not finishing top 3 they are average?  

The competition is stiff right now.  Tomac, Webb and Sexton are on it.  Anderson is always a threat, and then you got a bunch of other riders in that class who are no slouches!  Christian hasn't had the best season, and I'm sure he's aware of that and wants to improve, but give some credit where it's due instead of acting like a miserable jealous person.

Maybe time to bring back the red blinking light. Laughing

I personally think Christian Craig is one of the most, if not the most overrated riders out there. He should’ve stayed blue.

They didn't have a 450 ride for him.

Thanks for the education. I guess with Tomac & Ferrandis…they have the 450 bases covered.

RJ comes and does one race and shows way more speed and promise than CC has all year.
I dont get it, last year he was head and shoulders above RJ 
Justin Cooper jumps up and is faster than him too. 
Savatgy said he just couldnt get used to the steel frame on the KTM so maybe thats it, but its strange to me how average he is right now considering his last years supercross season and outdoors on the 450.

Would he be beating himself on his STAR Racing 250?   I think he would have been 

I wondered that as well, and I can guarantee you he would be beating himself if he was on the star 250, as crazy as that sounds.

The way you guys slander this dude online is shameful, you should be embarrassed. It's fine not to like him but stop acting like he broke your moms legs and trash talking him and his family. Pussy move.

Christian is just being who he truly is… an average dude who isn’t anything special. Someone who stuck around for 10 years in the 250 class to get a title. Don’t expect too much from this guy. 

Average. 😂

For everyone salty that I’m calling this dude average just look at max anstie in the 250 class right now. Literally the same exact thing. You move him up he’s also going to get 10th-15th.

And you invite slander on yourself when they have whole segments during the night show about how “hard” you had it when you had a rich father in law and really haven’t worked a real job hardly ever - I mean wasn’t his “real job” through his father in law? If you want people to feel pity for you it’s not going to happen with those circumstances. Especially a blue collar sport like this. They just looked like a bunch of cry babies. So of course the dude is going to get shit on.

Right, the guy has suffered enough. I saw that feature about his difficult and tragic life. 

Im only kidding though, I don't know the guy personally at all and have no hate for him.

I think it's more a testament to how weak the 250 class is, than Craig not jiving with the bike or being off.

Yeah I guess you have to say he brought some of this on himself. I wonder how he feels personally about that segment, like if he regrets it.

Bro why would I be jealous of Christian Craig when I could be jealous of Eli Tomac instead. That would make more sense. Maybe I just think he’s a bitch.

Seems to me the ktm is the worst factory bike in the field now. What a turnaround from the 22 chassis.

This is clearly a CC problem, not a bike problem.  Webb was battling Tomac, Barcia was fast, AP looks great, etc...

Thats how you know it's the internet. You would never talk about anyone like that without your screen name.

Christian won on a pretty weak coast last year. Vince friese got 3rd…hunter would have beat him had he been ready for the first few races. He was also on the best bike. Kinda like all those years anyone on a pro circuit bike could pretty much win. IMO, him being a top 5 guy is unrealistic until the top 7 guys retire

Can anyone quantify the amount of money his "rich dad" gave him either? Or how long he built houses? Or is it just par for the course to assume the worst?
