Did anyone catch Eli try to triple out in that section before the mechanics area? It was in the bottom corner of the split screen. Came up short but looked crazy fast if he could nail it.

Saw the case, but he greased it countless of times in the session too.

It’s actually a quad and he only greased it 2x

Tomac was flying but that inside sand line was killing his time! He was half a second off Prado, Webb, Hunter, and Kenny in that last sector alone. 

S8 Times

Prado 13.435

Webb 13.520

Lawrence 13.533

Roczen 13.539

Tomac 14.047

If he was a half second slower in one sector and still throwing those times down I'd say yea he's flying lol

35 450SX riders? Yikes. I feel like it's been awhile since we've seen a field that small, and it's only round 4.

Almost seems like taking a page out of Guiseppe Luongo's playbook ...

I am wrong so often in my assumptions of this sport. But Prado is one of those things I was most wrong about. His behavior was piss poor, but yes, it was the bike. Sorry, not sorry. Can't believe I just said that either.

I think it’s been part of teching the bike for a while but just recently they’ve lowered the sound level and seem to be checking it more frequently beyond just the initial tech inspection probably as a result of that. The sound level is going to be decreased again next year as well. 

Sound checking is kinda gay.

Could be the next fuelgate.

I wouldn't say the bike just the way he and the bike meshed (or not for that matter, maybe team too...) Seems just fine for Sexton if he didn't have the Yips...

Did they red flag 450B for Miller?

Yes. They stretchered him off. Took a good while too. Neck brace & strapped down

Thanks Nic. 

That's a bit of deflating news. Hope the NW Miller is going to be ok.🙁

You gotta let your image upload before clicking post. Wait for the bar across the top to finish and you'll see a little green checkmark pop up.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion in our sport but honestly I don’t mind it. People always say they need to slow the bikes down, well this is a very small way to do that. It’s not making the bikes “quiet” but they will be quieter. 

I remember reading something a little while back that part of the reason some of these long standing tracks started getting sound complaints was because the 4-stroke exhaust tone/sound waves travel much further than the 2-stroke exhaust tone. I’m all for slowing the bikes down and if they get slightly quieter in the process, it seems like a win-win to me.
