Bench Racing | Anaheim 2 Supercross Night Show

Imagine if Ando was training like Sexton, Lawrence and Tomac…. The guys that can literally run their fastest lap on the last lap.  He can’t and that’s why a podium is going to be very difficult for him.  I’m still a fan, but…

Well, he did get knocked down by Friese on the first lap and was 22nd for about five or six laps before he caught anybody!! 

Not surprising.

The surname Friese is of German and Dutch origin and derives from the word "Frisian", which means "health hazard". 

It's also an occupational name for a ditch digger.

Looks like both are accurate. 😄

Smx results page shows friese being docked 5 points tonight

If this keeps happening and they add license penality points on top of that Friese might finish this season with negative championship points. 😂

From what media and industry people say Ando puts in the work. Isn’t he dealing with a thyroid issue like Webb?

AP update. I don't think anything got better in the off season.

Ryder Malinoski posted a video update. He’s awake and alert. Dislocated his hip and has bruising on his forehead. That is legitimately one of the scariest crashes I’ve seen in supercross. These guys are built different. Hope he has a speedy recovery. 

Forkner basically blocked Hunter for 3/4 of the last lap. Putz

Personal observations:

Sexton - Good night, got the monkey off his back for the first win with the team. If he can avoid the dumb mistakes like in the heat and the start last week, he will be a problem for everyone else. 

Lawrence - Good night, he is being consistent, he will get a win sooner or later. 

Tomac - Good night, he kept the podium spot, he is going to need to stay consistent to take it to the end, he cant afford those disaster nights further back than P5. He didnt succumb to Webb's late race shittery that usually happens.

Ando - Good night, stayed up front for a while, fought with the guys he should be fighting with. Faded a bit at the end but capitalized on Coop's mishap. 

Webb - not great, but could have been worse. He showed fight, but hes usually the one capitalizing on others mistakes, not the one making mistakes.

Kenny - bad night, but fought back. Can't afford to have nights like these. He'll get a win soon.

The reason I’m here -

Thank Christ. Have been seeing all these angles from the crowd and legit thought he was either dead or a quadriplegic.

WOW. I can put the phone down now and get some sleep. So happy to hear it 

Does he have beef with Hunter, or did he just not see him and was trying to see if he could learn the pace from Chase? I'm not sure what all the downvotes are about from anyone pointing this out.

I think forkner mentally is still not at a place where he can accept he's the guy that has to pull over for the leaders now and not the other way around. 

Not possible, his dad chimed in on the previous page, and said he didn't block anyone.

L Home Bray had a good ride.  What’s the L stand for?  Larry?  Lawrence?

He needs to rewatch the race then . Did not respond to blue flags at all when Hunter closed in . Cost him 2 secs minimum. 

I was critical of everyone saying Hunter was a threat at the beginning of the season. He's proven in mx and people were really projecting that to sx, where he hasn't produced yet. Well Hunter has arrived. He looks phenomenal. Especially impressive how he seems to get better as the main goes on. So his fitness is obviously on point. Hunter is indeed a threat. I enjoy being proven wrong when the rider is also a great guy off the track like Hunter is

Similar here…. I had him firmly on top of group 2, probably a race winner, possibly title contender, but less likely than group 1.  He has replaced Webb in group 1 at this point.  Most likely a race winner (multiple?) and certainly a title contender.

Yea brian is very smart in a lot of ways but a complete moron in other ways in my opinion. He thinks you absolutely have to divide the fan base in half so half love you and half hate you. Thats kind of a dumb strategy when theres 100% of a potential fan base to go after. Look at tomac, plessinger, jett, or the older guys like reed, stew, rc, mc… Tomac is able to have everybody love him same with AP. Idk if brian knows but 100% is twice as much as 50%. Jett just signed the largest deal in motocross history at over 22 million with potential earnings up to 60 million. You dont have do be a complete knob to make money. Theyre actually leaving money on the table by purposely creating so many “haters” as they call them.
