SX isnt a team sport. 

That's why I'm hoping Max cleans DBD out next week.

Going to be nonstop talk about sexton and Prado but what about webb? Invisible. 

Prado needs to complete all season... Some nights are going to be good and others like that but thats the process.

Webb this years looks a little more slow than others. 

Tomac and Kroc looks the best and Sexton tonight was strong. IMO the Championship is going to be a this three men battle

Great race!!!

Hunta massively impressive in those last 5 minutes.

Lots of Chase criticism, but he salvaged a solid finish considering the bone head gate hit.

And Eli getting it done.  How many will he get this year? 8, more?

Great race from Hunter. 

Phenomonal. After getting passed by Kenny I never thought that he would come back again and almost win the race. He will definitely win races this year.

I was scared for a moment that Kenny would drop even further down after Hunter got him back, but luckily he stayed on his rear wheel the whole time.

Tomac is looking absolutely scary. He looks like he has his speed from last year, but without any mistakes and good starts on top of that. I still hope Kenny starts winning soon, but so far Tomac is looking as good as it gets.

Webb went 3-4 to start the season last year, finished worse than 4th one time last season.... 

This is not like that.

Respect to Hunter for backing it down and not running it in on Tomac in that turn.

I think it’s clear that it’s 4.

Advantage Eli, but Roczen, Sexton and Lawrence are going to be in it.  With Chase needing to make up points pretty quick.

I’m not hating. The guy is unbelievable and very capable of winning any race he enters, but the little mistakes keep adding up, and at one point in this race, he was in the same rhythm section as the leaders only 6 seconds back. All of a sudden he is 10 back. I think it’s fair to comment on it. 

If it’s so easy go show him how it’s done. No pressure right?

It looked like he may have got tied up with Lappers. There were two green bikes back there for a while. One being chase and the other being Friese..

Haha it seemed Hunter realized halfway through he just said he shot his load early on TV.

You don't smoke a guy you plan to battle for a championship in the second race of the season for a race win. 

That can end up costing you a lot in the end. Play it smart. Play the long game. 

You should be Secretary of State 👍

I'm looking forward to Steve re-explain on Pulp how Eli is too old to be a contender.

Webb’s having a tough start to his defense. JCoop is getting terrible starts on the 26’ and he’s normally solid on the starts.

Impressive ass ride from all the podium guys. Did not know Hunter would uncork that kind of speed this early in the season. So happy for Tomac.

Webb needs a win next weekend to ignite him. Fun racing this year thus far.

To be fair, Sexton even said it himself on the podium ....In his words he had "good flow until he lost it [at the end]"

 

He didn't back it down to play it safe
