GM36 continues to impress…

Garrett is making Chase look like a fucking dick. There is zero reason why Chase couldn't have put that bike in the top 5 all season.

Yeah news flash, top 5 is irrelevant to a multi-time champion 

If Marchbanks can put that Kawi in 5th place Chase should have put it on the podium.

Garrett also had some pretty fast lap times. But lets keep blaming the bike.

Not true. Most of the posts are just about Deegan being a loser. He's asked for it, no reason to stick up for him. It fuels him to his 4th place finishes blah blah blah. 

He’s just a bedbud. His idol got 4th, maybe missed his nap, and now people are being “mean” so he resorts to calling people “fat losers” safely from his phone

Impressive. Noisy folks pausing for interviews. It’s a breakthrough

Self policing by the crowd? What's the point of watching a podium interview but making noise so no one can hear?

I’m a hunter guy, not that matters. Shocker you’re at home in the recliner banging on your keyboard and not riding yourself. Poser.

Only 7 Americans in the top 15. Can't have been many/any 450 motos where that's happened.

That must make you very happy

He's makin' it work pretty good.  I mean as a rookie to the class...against Jett, Hunta, Prada...he's doing OK.  (I know it's Prado but it's too funny).

Is JS7 continuing to say Prada as a joke or is he just dyslexic? It’s pretty embarrassing for him. 

I like JS7 a lot. I enjoy most of his nicknames for guys. But saying Prada instead of his actual name Prado is a little annoying. I’m surprised NBC hasn’t corrected him on this. 

What I find more annoying than James saying it is people typing it incorrectly online. Kind of like the whole Webb/Paul thing.

It's just a comment.  A lot of Euros chasing money.  Ain't nothing wrong with that.  Some of us just want good racers.

Let's be fair...Deegan chose his "persona" which garnered his core of fans but pushed a lot of us away.  That being true its also true that he's a very good rider.  I can still appreciate the talent.

I don't think he chose it, he was raised in it. He had no choice.

I don't think James is being malicious.  It ain't in him.

How long can they hold the gate?

Edit...never mind.  Red Cross flag holds the gate.

Pretty comical seeing them drop the front end from 12" up after she just pulled in from hitting giant bumps and jumps then her pointing to the bolts holding it on as we hear JT saying that bumping it won't work.

Agreed. I’m at the track and you can hear him from 2-3 turns away. Hunter Jett and Jorge sounded like they were at idle cruising past the crowd, yet deegan couldn’t catch up. 

He also took the inside line almost every lap on the uphill section before the finish, which looks super sketchy very it’s very dry with a ton of kickers. 

Deegan will learn one day but he’s getting smoked so far  for all the hype coming into this season.

van Drunen has been really unlucky with her machinery so far on this trip to America.

Such a shame Yamaha or one of its countless support teams couldn't sort her out with a properly competitive bike like the ones her competitors are on

Bizarre set of problems with that Yamaha. I’m interested to see how she handles starting with no start device.

I think a ratchet strap around the bars and hooked under the fork leg to pull the front end down to try to release it could have worked quickly. Or at least used to secure the suspension to remove the fork guard without there being a bunch of tension on the hardware

Any idea why Yamaha isn't supporting her over there?

WTF is with these mechanics…first using a hokey t-handle with removable tips and then the glug method for oil!! 🤷🏼‍♂️
