I said last week how much his American has improved.   He's says "Ummm" and "yeah" like he was born here.🙃

Davies and Beaumer look to have the momentum going into the break. 

Rough day for the PC Kawi crew (yes Kitchen holds the points but the others are right on his ass now)

Shimoda and Kitchen really surprised me. I expect more from some veterans of the class.

As someone who watched Prado in MXGP a lot, it's so weird to see how scrappy he is on these first laps at the moment

In 2022 the Hunter brothers also battled at High Point from start to finish on the 250. Let's see if we can get that again

Watching them sky the triple on the top of the hill is so damn cool. This track really makes for great camera work when the production team isn’t stuck on the wrong riders.

I'd love to know how much of is is them and how much of it is HRC having the technical stuff nailed. I don't remember either of them being this amazing in the 250s off the gate

Hunter on pulp once said it's both them and HRC testing and doing like a million starts together, it's all happening for a reason

Deegans making a push. He’ll catch Prado this time. Too far back to reel in Jett though.

Watching the riding style of Deeg and Prado side by side is pretty wild

I don't know that he'll stay in front of him if he gets around him.  Jorge style is so economical.  He doesn't waste energy.  He'll be there till the end.

Watching the Lawrence brothers suspension work compared to every other rider on the track is wild. Theirs wheels never leave the ground in the chop.
