Really? Why? 

Anything to do with the Coenens wanting to go to the US and KTM needing a championship winning rider to replace Lucas? 

I thought I heard KTM has extended Prado’s contract for another two years?

Why? He had a classic choke job. I know in most sports he’d be getting major flack for that.  Why give him trophies

Huntas problem has been running 2nd to Jett and his mindset is he cant be a winner. Maybe now Hunta will believe he is the guy. But will he have another chance next yr??

Well done Kenny, its been a looong time coming!

Anybody else feel like that crash in the heatrace really helped kenny lock in? I was telling my pops that, that is what ken needed to knock the nerves off. Due to the level of pressure they were riding under.

I thought so too. In practice and in the heat race, he didn’t look comfortable. In the Main Event? He was a man on a mission, that’s for sure 👌

I thought it would have the opposite effect but I’m a neanderthal and wrong 100% of the time

Ive had a good feeling after the heat, not so much because he went down but cause Kenny was faster than Hunter. And it stayed that way all the way in the main. What a difference to qualifying

RC said "that crash might help Ken going forward" or something like this. I was like "what is he saying?" But he was completely right about it. It seemed like Kenny was fully locked in from that moment on. His first two corners in the main were absolutely clutch by the way!

When? Must be recently. He's currently on a 1 year deal just like Tomac and AP. I don't expect him to go anywhere else.

Depends on the rider, some guys are like "Hellyeah, that's out of the way..and i am ok, i can ride as hard as i can" others have the "what else is going to go wrong now" and tense up. atleast thats how ive viewed it. Also the subjective point is how hard you hit the ground as well 😅

Trying to think where I heard it now, it’s been a long day and it’s only 1:30pm here 😂

But it was today, so maybe in the pre show?

Both mains- awesome!!

No the mains didn't go down to the last lap, but both mains were just incredible with the scenarios playing out with the top contenders.

And no one on earth had Sexton, Cooper, and Prado for the SLC podium. That would be like a Powerball lottery ticket winning odds (not really but still pretty crazy).

I can’t remember who said it, but a few pages back someone posted it was like a 10 minute victory lap.
