Pumped for rj. Well deserved and can’t wait to see him on a 450.  Congrats to Kitchen. He just tripped his career earnings….

Honestly, it’s better for the sport for RJ and Tom to win. Get them to the 450 class faster and give Haiden and Levi one more year to build and learn.

High stakes, high pressure but was solid. Got a good start when he had to and sealed the deal.

I gotta give it to him. Never been a fan of his riding but i like his personality when he is on Pulp Mx etc. 
 

I was pretty sure that we would ride him self to death last night but instead he pulled off some of his best rides ever so hat’s of for a awsome ride.

Happy for RJ and bummed for Levi...both are good dudes. RJ did a better job when it came down to a winner takes all situation. 

My humble commiserations to Mitch at PC. They came so close....

Tell me you werent thinking the whole race,  rj dont blow it.  Hes always had the speed and talent,  but the self inflicted crashes have really held him back.

I was absolutely waiting for it lol! RJ stepped up big time. I still don't see him as a real title contender outdoors. An abbreviated 250 sx schedule versus 22 outdoor motos. He's going to pull an RJ in a couple of motos. I'll be happy to be proved wrong

Honestly, it’s better for the sport for RJ and Tom to win. Get them to the 450 class faster and give Haiden and Levi one more year to build and learn. 

You're probably right, now Haiden and Levi can continue to learn and maybe eventually win a Championship against kids who were still on 50s when they turned Pro like RJ did.

I don’t think you can make a comparison when one is in year 2 and the other year 3.  

This class has always had straggler veterans in it because they go where the most money is. Stop blaming and hating riders for doing what’s best financially and within the rules. 

Im sure RJ isn’t going to care who he beat this week when them fat bonus checks start clearing and he can set his kids up better for their future.

If they were faster and smarter then they would have won this year. Bubba figured it out. Villo figured it out. The new kids are just soft.

I should know this, but I am assuming he will be on a Husky 450 next year right?

Very happy for RJ - well deserved!

Also credit to Levi who had a standout year, and I'm sure will be a favourite for many yrs to come. As said above both seem like good guys.
