I have a feeling Jett will have some strong competition tonight. Theres a few guys that seem to be on the gas. Tomac and Sexton look great. Start will be crucial as usual.

I just have a hard time believing that no rider can watch Jett in the sand every week and not manage to hop or manual through. Never mind not getting the triple in the rhythm, Jett isn’t doing some insane quad or anything. I feel like he’s riding great but we are also getting the biggest low energy competition against him besides roczen last week, it’s like everyone’s riding sedated

Why didn't they do a segment In Denver SX last year on when I gave Cianciarulo's massage guy the best Colorado CBD Muscle Cream?. Then he goes out that night and kicks ass?

I have this gut feeling KR will rip the LCQ and come out on fire in the main, gets podium and pushes for the win.

Tomac has some fight in him, crossing my fingers for a good start

You should give the best sx riders in the world a pep talk. Get them fired up.

Maybe, but he's been off all day. 

14th fastest in session 1 and went down. 

11th fastest in session 2.

Heat 1 goes down and finishes 17th.

Lol, when ricky gives up his job people will start to miss him just like they did with Emig and Ralph.

Ricky isn't the best yes nothing new, the sport hasn't had great commentary since Bailey.

Yeah, it was odd that he only made 3 passes against guys who are nowhere near his level.

Most likely mailed it in knowing he's heading to the LCQ, but still, he's not looking great.

Wrong place, wrong time for Roczen. What's that even mean?

Ok so we shouldnt try to improve and just have to listen to him struggle to talk each week because he was unbeatable on a dirt bike, makes sense…

I like RC in the booth. Yes he will be missed once he retires.

I find it hard to believe everyone is totally cool with racing for second. Just easier to accept what I see with my own eyes - kid is smooth and fast whenever he needs to be. Enjoy it - youth is fleeting.

I was just thinking the same thing. We may be witnessing a generational talent. He is damn smooth and efficient.

Like i said it's nothing new Emig and Ralph were just as bad they just had better voices, the amount of bashing on them two was real, now people miss them, just like they will miss Ricky when he's gone.

Commentators are llike room-mates you love them when they first come in but once you learn their behavioral patterns you start to get annoyed, a lot of people want AC9 in there it will be the same story.

That was the most risk I've seen Eli take this year.

Some observations from timing and scoring for those who are interested:

Looking at segment times from 450 Heat #1, Eli is absolutely destroying segment 3. He ran a 6.078 on lap 8(!), the next closest, believe it or not, was Steinke with a 6.863 through there on lap 5. For reference, Chase's quickest in that same section came on lap 6 with a 8.185, Hunter 8.810 on lap 2.

Can't really compare different heats as the track breaks down, but for reference in 450 Heat #2, segment 3, Malcom actually had the fastest time through that section, 6.925 on lap 3. Jett's quickest was 7.521 on lap 1. Plessinger's best was 8.351.

Is that a Blue KTM? Ralph would’ve had a field day with that one.

You never want to start to lead the first lap of the LCQ- 95% of the time they crash before completing that lap!

Lux Turner's (473)  AEO KTM in that light blue looks like a 1979 Yamaha IT-175...

RC did say Moranz was on an orange Yamaha twice last year.
