I can’t get over how good James is at announcing what is actually happening on the track

Fuuuucckkk.  Hunter.

Yeah, Jett answered, but AP brought the heat in a way that I don't think any of us expected. 

What a race!

Jett just dropped the hammer. He's got nearly a 3 second lead now over AP. 

ANNNDDD Hunter just went down!!!  Not a hard crash but lost tons of time, he's back in 4th now. 

Tomac sitting back in 3rd about 4.5 seconds back.

Never expected AP be the first guy to pass Jett in a moto 😂

People dont like Ricky but he and James are real good together.

Yeah that was weird. He had a good battle with Hunter for a few minutes but then he just fell off a cliff.  I don't really understand wtf happened but that was weird to see.

I may not be remembering specifics, but I thought Jett crashed or Roczen holeshot?

Ricky might be one of the worst announcers.  He’s never said anything I didn’t know.  And im just a random Spode

Did Hunter drop it that last lap? I see him finish 22 seconds behind Tomac.

I'm gonna watch in the morning, so it's off the bed for this ol sack of bones. Cheers ya all.

Yeah Hunter didn't look too anxious to get going again lol.  

Just weird what happened to Tomac. We all know it's not a fitness issue and bike didn't seem to be having a problem. Maybe needs to make an adjustment but that was very disappointing.

Yeah, looked like his front wheel missed the rut and he high sided. Luckily he had like 40 seconds on 5th!

Moto 1 I think Kenny was leading and then stalling his bike at the end of the moto, Jett got by and Kenny was kicking his bike for like 30 seconds. Moto 2 was a pretty close battle until the end of the moto when I remember right. I think Kenny was the closest to Jett that year and only raced one race

He's no spring chicken but he has experience.  Take what you can get...let it come to ya.  He's doing just fine.

JS is about as biased towards Tomac as JT is to Jett. 

There was possibility to pass on this track, AP and Jett did it. Tomac just needs to stop milking those outsides when they don’t pay off.

Eli's been known to back it off if something with the bike isn't feeling right. Maybe he made the push and realized something was off but hopefully he can make any adjustment needed and go beast mode in 2nd moto.  If he can get the start ahead of Jett I'd imagine we'll see one hell of a battle.

I think today is the day Deegs gets beat. I'm probably wrong but the way the track is forming up, I think it's a good possibility.
