Honestly, seeing Suzuki winning on what is essentially a 10+ year-old platform should finally put this whole “bikes are constantly getting better” narrative to rest.

Dirt bikes hit a plateau years ago.

Roczen's bike is nowhere near a stock Suzuki. I think most people can acknowledge this.

Correct.  I just wish they would admit that.  Their stance is that it is all random.  If they said that 10 of them were random and 2 were invited I would be cool with the transparecy.  But to say that they are all random is a joke.

It’s quite obvious that Eli has an underlying injury….its not hard to tell.

It's wild that he doesn't say something about it. "Nothing is wrong, just an off night"....then he doubles the rhythm sections 4 laps in a row. 

It's really frustrating as an Eli fan.

Oh that makes it even better.

“Not stock” but still running factory parts from the James Stewart era… so what exactly is your point?

I'm guessing Roczen gains 5 points on Eli. At least. I'm on the fence on who wins. It's either Kenny or Hunter though.

If Tomac is hurt, it is wild he would lie like that. He doesn't seem the type. Maybe he has some kind of mental stress issue going on? Stress can ruin people. Whatever it is with him it sure was a sudden change.

If he was out there making mistakes, crashing, etc. I would call it throwing it away... but if he's just straight up getting beat (for whatever reason), its more of a missed opportunity

It’s a lot more stock than you’d like to believe.

He was never the same after Justin Cooper passed him and held him off in Indy.  Think about it.

He has even stated the transmission is not even available. Not that it would make a difference to average riders.

I'd actually say it's the most well attended St Louis Post. Covid but definitely far from sold out. Our section has few empty seats but there's completely empty sections in the nosebleeds.

Not sure what is going on with RC tonight,  but he's actually making me less interested in the racing tonight.  I feel like Im watching a childrens program...

Have to agree. Long time Eli fan here but it's these continual head scratching performances, after an incredible start to the season, that I'm just like, retire dude, and quite dragging us along so I can try and pick another rider as "my guy ."

The track is torn up and rutted already after the pre lcq  maintenace. The 450 lcq looks like a slow motion race.
