Romano has been a pleasant surprise. Hope Mitch keeps him.

Seth has decided to employ the risky "holeshot or take out half the field" strategy this season it seems1000131637.gif?VersionId=KhcsYKSPcDmDZfcX7pK1JhcEZK

Should be an easy moto win for Sacha. Say should as you never know when he is going to lawn dart.

Thunder Valley is an underrated track. I really like the layout this year.

It's so funny how we all said Sacha is either winning or crashing and this is the prime example why 😂

How does hammacker crash out everybody in the first turn so often? In one of the interviews I remember him saying he held it on long and tried to force it in, I wonder how often he does that. Whatever hes doing its dangerous.

He's dipped his toes in the 450 waters but never gone whole-hog whole-year in the class, so this certainly seems more substantial than any of his other 450 dabblings.  Looks repeatable now w/ minimal mistakes.

Outdoors only -- and not the whole-megillah full year in the 450s.

As a fan of American motocross racers. It’s a tough time and probably will be for a long while

JS7 in the booth is a laugh a minute. Soooo much better than the crap we get in supercross

No doubt he will win races, but if he wants championships team Deegan should consider moving to MXGP, specially with the Coenens moving to the US aswell.

Good strategy from Romano - gunning for the overall with 4-3 scores.

Hymas is so weird, he literally put a straight up beat down on Deegan last year here, said skipped sx to focus on prep for outdoor championship.

Man I was wrong about Romano. He’s been pretty solid since joining PC

Sasha has a physique and riding style reminiscent of Ricky Carmichael in his 125 days.

These 250 overalls are like watching Steve's LCQ race with the reversed field.

Kitchen's charge has stalled a bit. Some very quick guys in the top 15. Is his recent fitness is anything to go by, he'll keep moving forward until the last lap

Let’s go Romano! 

Holding off Shimoda is a tough task but this overall would be insane!

I genuinely forgot he was racing today. I really expected him to be in the championship hunt this summer.

Wondering if Kitchen has "bonked" he was moving so well through the pack, now at 12th, he has stalled. He should easily be getting bay the 3 to 5 in front of him...which would put him on the podium btw. Perhaps he used up his energy
