Tomac stayed in the 2:20 for a few laps, his hammer down style isn't the best for this track I don't believe
I try not to read into Pala results too much as it's so different to the rest of the tracks on the circuit and first race of the season is always weird anyway, but it already looks like it's gonna be hard for anyone to beat Jett this season
He's coming off a significant shoulder injury and was quoted as saying he's not coming in 100%. Add that to the other factors already mentioned above, I don't think it's much of a surprise.
Agreed. I think 7th is a great result for Prado.
Sextons head : 💼
So, absolutely no coverage of Justin Cooper 😏
Jett seems bored
Lar’s has outdone JT with the hair
RJ almost top5 ....good stuff
Jett still seems a little bummed/rocked by the whole Mirtl video thing. Hope he gets back to his chirpy self
Hunter Lawrence had a shoulder injury and surgery and hasn't been back riding as long. His was ligament damage too. Hunter Lawrence is an elite rider of course but Prado is someone I've watched since he was a teenager, a prodigal talent out of the gate held in much higher regard. This performance is unacceptable
I like Jett but I really hope we're not in for a holeshot and 10 second win summer from him. It's just so boring.
However, this is easily Jett's best track and probably Eli's worst so we'll see what happens in a week or two.
Chase...yeesh, that was not the way to start the series. Can't really imagine what could have happened in one lap to make him toss his goggles.
Cooper was impressive.
Hunter, meh. Not great but not remotely bad.
I think it's pretty clear who are the lead group; Jett, Hunter, Tomac, Cooper, Sexton (if he's okay). We'll see if Prado can turn it up throughout the season. Clearly no one else is going to have anything for the lead guys unless something really silly happens.
Oh well, one moto down, 21 to go.
Jett doesn’t even look like he’s having fun, seems over it already.
When I read "fresh off wrist injury" I didn't think he would race the first round and beat Prado, that's pretty good
Pit Row
Possibly a hot take but while Prado's great and a 2X MXGP champ, I never felt like he had the raw speed of a young Cairoli or Herlings tbh. An incredible talent but not generational on their level imo
He wins by getting great starts, putting in consistently strong laps, and not riding over his head. When he isn't feeling it, he rarely pushes and risks a wreck, and he's never been massively comfortable pushing outside of his comfort zone. Personally I don't think I'll make my mind up on how he's doing until about the midway point of the season when he begins to find his comfort zone. I imagine he'll do better on tracks like Unadilla, Washougal, Southwick, Ironman
Hunter follows the textbook. 😉
Hunter was great not sure what you're on
Chase crash seems like he got on throttle and bike just revs and he lunged forward expecting acceleration. Would think they'd be in high enough gear to not be flirting with neutral there but I have no idea?
Yes
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. I will say that I see Eli and Chase getting better. But they have a hole to dig out of after just one moto.
I think fair enough to say he's a little off those 2. They probably make up the top 3 all time euros with Everts. But I do think he is the talent of his generation in MXGP. An elite professional at the front of the field basically right out the gate
I think his doc told him there was some loose screws and an unattached piece of bone. Option was to reattach the plate and bone or remove both and see how it goes. It goes pretty good.😉
Thrasher being taken to hospital. Didn't he finish first moto?
They'll all get better.
It’s almost like RJ should have been on a 450 a long time ago
That was not the moto I envisioned before the gate drop….
