The 10th he got after an eternity(in MX terms) off speaks volumes of his skills and character.

I can't remember when he last ran a supercross after his '06 championship.

I was close with the 14th place prediction.... but we had some riders drop out, so he ended up 10th

All I know is he didn't look good in the 1st practice, then he looked a little better in practice #2 , then when he got in the heat race he started kicking ass, jumped everything he didn't do in practice and started railing corners.

it was literally like someone flipped a switch.

I felt bad for him during the first practice. Glad to see he got it together...

I guessed 15th, but I knew Langston was a gamer. Glad to see him back on track.

I was trying to find the post where we were all guessing his finish, but I failed. I think I guessed him 8th. But I'm still impressed and stoked with his finish. Go LL Cool G!

I think and hope Grant Langston will only get stronger and better as the season moves forward. He had plenty of speed/skill before his medical issues. Great to see him race again.

I was wrong. I said he wouldn't make the main.

Well done to GL. It was a great comeback, incredible really!

Hopefully he will only go up from here, as he seems like a good guy.

Before Grants health problem/injury..... what was his best SX finish?

I didn't predict a GL finish but if I did I would have never guessed top 15 after that much time off. This guy has the heart of a lion and proves it time and time again. He is the ZuLu warrior that his fans have labled him.

I wouldn't rule out a few top 5's by the end of the year!

I just said i hoped he finished so I am very impressed with his race. Coming back after so long and dealing with his shop theft on the morning of; the race must have been an escape for him from that issue.

Somebody predicted he would finish in the ER. Kind of lame to make that prediction, but worth a chuckle. Awesome ride..

I don't think he's had that many races on the big bike in SX has he?
