Yep. Tomac has to win next weekend or it's going to start to fall apart.

As far as I can recall this has got to be the most boring 450 main this year

Everyone from Freddy to Moranz should be black flagged. Being 2 laps down, you’re nothing but a hazard at that point.

I’m ok with lappers, you can get lapped and still be involved in a race, but if the lappers are lapping you, you’re not racing anyone and so far off the pace, you’re more of a hazard than anything else.

KRoc could have run with Hunter, but not starting behind him like that.  Hunters consistent starts are still the biggest story in the points.

And it doesn’t appear that it’s going to change anytime soon.

Kenny was so dialed with his bike pure poetry in motion. The way he was sliding the Zook in the corners. Bummed he got a bad start.

Hes down 34 points to Hunter. Thats right in the hunt? Not to mention he's got nothing for him on the track. Stop it

Kennys run in in the first half of the main is exactly why we need GoPros back. I would pay to watch that shit man.

He looks like Jett out there right now imo. I always thought he had this in him in MX, but doing this in SX is insane.

I agree he looks totally in control like Jett! I just didn’t know if he’d ever unleash that potential. Welp it’s here and I’m all about it.

It doesn’t matter if he gained an advantage or not, if the rule says you can’t go *inside/inside on a split lane, he broke that rule just like Marchbanks did. 

*corrected from outside/inside

Whether its one or two laps you’re still penalizing the leader, when it should be penalizing the lappers if they can’t get out of the way their pocket book needs to get real light…

AP crashed mid rhythm section right in front of us on the side opposite the finish, right before the whoops lane.  

Track worker couldn’t get his bike shut off and it was pegging rev limiter with the throttle in the dirt.  He looked hurt but walked off.

If the rules say you're not allowed to cross a marker and you cross it, I'd guess that it doesn't matter whether you gain an advantage or not

What was Deegan busted for? And what’s with the AMA slinging penalties everywhere?

had a feeling if Hunter won 1 race his confidence was going to soar…….hopefully it goes down to the last race of the year……I don’t care who wins the title, long as it stays close…..

Eli was pretty humble on his night / nice hat tip to Kenny and Hunter. Seems like if he has a sketchy moment or two through the day he tends to not have that fire and goes into manage mode. Regroup for next week.

Hunter is incredible pivoting those slick dry turns and that is Eli’s biggest challenge IMO. 

Webb and Eli begging for some wetter tracks with more traction.

Man, what an absolute shit season for AP. Hopefully he can put it together outdoors (provided the limp isn’t a bad one).

34 points with 7 rounds to go is nothing.

Hunter, Eli, and Kenny could die in a plane crash and Webb would be right there sneaking into a 4th 450SX championship.

He's playing the long game.
