Good ride by Jo to catch back up but man, he really is his own worst enemy sometimes.

Gawd. I guess no one wants to race Deegan but Forkner. Incomprehensible

No hate at all to Deegan and I know they need to show the leader winning but I felt like we missed out on great racing with kitchen and shimoda?

The live timing is bad.

Waiting for official results? Just get it on camera. Pathetic.

Highly frustrated by this bullshit directing. Going to commercial before showing at least the too 3-5 finishers?!

how many times has Shimoda crashed while trying to force a pass in SX, i swear almost every heat race you see him picking up a bike after getting over eager trying to pass. See nashville sx 2023, as well as Anaheim 2022 when he broke his leg trying to pass Marchbanks. He needs to calm down.

NBC probably wanted commercials right after the race ended. Which would make sense

Spent the last three minutes following deegan around while we had no idea what was happening behind him because of live timing being broken. Literally have no idea where Jo finished in the end

To be fair, Shimoda only finished 6 seconds back after picking up the bike in 12th down 18 seconds.

The race was only over for one rider.

Definitely didn't need to force that one so early. Has so much talent but doesn't seem to have the killer instinct or wheel to wheel racing intelligence of a Deegan

It’s too bad they don’t sell a premium version where we could just listen to the bikes and maybe a little analysis from James 

Just try to enjoy the racing 

I am enjoying watching Dangerboy Deegan beat up on the rest of these nerds

Hammaker looks back sees it Deegan and says “Oh Sorry, I was in your way”, and then moves over 😳😳😳😳

How hard do you have to race when everyone just gets outta the way. Even Deegan looked like “Wow, thanks bro!”

So no penalties for those jumping on flags and creative lines? Just as long as that is their consistent ruling going forward…

It is incomprehensible how bad this broadcast and live timing system is sometimes. The dirt Late Model racing I watch is head and shoulders above in so many aspects and they broadcast from the middle of no where most of the time. I don’t get it.

Yes I think he had the best ride of the race, unfortunately everyone who wasn’t there missed it.
