Bench Racing | Glendale Supercross Night Show

They seemed all good straight after the finish. Jett congratulated Ando and they fist bumped.

There was plenty of passing going on during the race seeing it in person.  All kinds of action.  Have not seen the replay of it.  Yes KR led start to finish all day, the dude was on it.  But behind that there was plenty of action.  My wife even said it was one of her most favorite races to attend.

They all smacked Jett down on the gram and he got some boos and he put his tail between his legs and just raced for a couple weeks and all is good. No big deal. He's ran away and beat them and come through the pack with no drama and guys are going to respect it as long as he isn't giving them reasons not to. 

Not sure if there are any comments on it, but JuJu Beaumer has a ton of talent.  That dude is going to be super fast when he gets more experience and refines things in the whoops.  On the triple in to 180 with a triple out after the start line gap jump, the dude was wheel tapping the middle hump with his rear tire then railing the berm, and seat bounce tripling out.  He was the only 250 rider doing the seat bounce triple out every lap - not RJ, Kitchen, or Smith.  He's going to be one of the top riders in the class next year.  That section he was ripping was so insanely cool to watch live in person.  That kid is legit.  

Agreed, I was there, section 107. Damn good racing. It seemed uneventful because the first lap leaders tended to win, but the racing behind the leaders was great. And that was an amazing track!! 

Anyone notice how squeaky in person all the star Yamaha’s were? Eli’s especially could hear 3 lanes over in person. 

Sorry if you have already mentioned it, exactly what city are you living in?

Hunter finally had a solid race, didn't go backwards and pulled a gap on the guys behind him.

Well done mate!

Cape Town, South Africa.

First time I picked Hunter as part of my fantasy team and he throws down his best result so far. 

I'm hoping that he gets better as the season progresses but man, this field is deep and without a good start a top 5 finish is difficult to achieve.

Wonder what caused Webb to drop anchor??

Shimoda needs to hook up with Alessi to learn how to start.  He has the speed to win but his starts suck balls.

Webb looked OK until he got a bit stuck behind Friese. Eli also had trouble clearing Vince quickly and that's why 94 and 21 were long gone. Not that I think he had anything for either of them.  

Didn'tt watch live, watched the replay once I got home tonight.      Honestly, I fast forwarded thru all of the 250 racing and LCQs....dullsville.   I FF'd thru some of the 450 main too.   What a snoozer. 

Best thing about the night, is the "dinosaur" Suzuki puttin it to the factory teams once again.  Other than that....2nd week in a row with a shit ass track. 

Bring back the rained on tracks.   

The racing wasn't as good as the past few weeks but the results were good, especially in the 450s, to keep the points chase close going into the break. 

Ever since he out qualified Deegan at the first futures race last year, I started paying attention to the way he rides. I completely agree with you he’ll be a multi time champ and wouldn’t be surprised to see him get a win at any moment. 
 

If Trasher is capable of winning, Juju is as well.

Jett was ninth at the end of lap 1.  He passed Sexton, Hunter, Webb, Tomac and Friese.

Hunter passed Webb.  Ferrandis passed Webb and Sexton.

Webb passed Sexton.

Lets say that Tomac gets a shitty start (10th after the first lap or something similar) instead of the good one he managed to pull out, does he finish better than 7th-8th?
 

Gotta say pretty happy for Karen Roczen.

Off night for Jett in a way but now he has red plate back likely for rest of the year, biggest points lead yet.

Ok. So besides a top 3 guy starting outside the top 10 and a top 15 guy starting 3rd..  yes technically there were more than 4 passes. I don’t count a 15th place guy getting a good start then dropping back to his normal finish. I know I’m in the minority in my opinion and a lot of the core moto dudes love tradition. I just think the times have changed too much to rely on one single race to decide the fastest guy. That’s why there’s 2 motos outdoors… it’s not enough to do it once.. line up and show me you can get another good start and beat the guy that didn’t get a good start last moto that did this moto. Idk. I’m sure it’s all on deaf ears anyways. Feld doesn’t really care if the racing sucks as long as there’s $$$ coming in

Loving AP's raw speed this year

More like Liston vs. Ali

I think Jo has won one supercross in how many years racing 250 class, four maybe more? Did anyone really expect him to be better than he is this year?

After tonight I think Kenny has a legit shot at this title. He's been so much better than I expected in almost all rounds.
He's had so much shitty luck and also some mistakes of his own but still "only" 15 points out. It's not like these other years where he's decent and may get a podium or even a win if things go his way. He's been legit among the 2-3 fastest riders in pretty much all races.

A1 he was among the fastest guys, maybe second only to Jett. First lap crash, last to 10th.
SF same. Stalls bike first turn after holeshot. Last to 3rd.
SD crashes out of the lead. 12th (that's 15 points lost right there)
A2 is the only round where he didn't seem to be among the 3 fastest guys. Even despite the first turn crash in the 3rd main there were others better than him that day.
Detroit comes from midpack to 3rd, fastest lap time
Arlington wire to wire, fastest lap time.

If you haven't been paying attention, Anderson is over it. He talked about it on Gypsy Tales, all of it, why he posted what he did on Instagram and is over it now. It seems to live on with Vitards though.

Down goes Frazier 🥊🥊

But not in a gay way, right?
