What's up with the new trend picking your bike up from behind, did I miss something? 😂

Yup lol. Steve was talking about it on Pulp this week. Apparently the facilities are the ones teaching them at a young age.

I thought the dude was gonna be the next ginger to dominate the sport but his pro career has been a disaster from day 1

Good comeback rides from kitchen and juju

Dominant from Davies

Impressive runs from RyderD and Bennick!

Wonder what the Moto 2 blender will have in store for us

What happened to Parker Ross? Was he down in the first corner?

Maybe the rest of the field should learn how to out start these rookies? I get what you're saying of course, but Levi for example cannot buy a start and Star has it on lock

At this point, I would be surprised if the entire field crashes in the first corner.

So, pretty sure Kitchen will get fifth.  71 Mumford went off track, so will most likely loose a position?  Jmho

One thousand percent! I felt the same way. That he was the guy out of his LL class. He spanked Davies at the Ranch and I believe most of the sx Futures races. Hes been hurt but where are the glimpses of speed?

Have the chain saws been successfully ridiculed from existence at the races or do some tracks not allow them?

To be fair to him, he's been right around the top 5-8 range in Moto 1 the last 2 weeks on the trot and been caught up in the mayhem. Even at the start of the year when he for a great start he would get caught up in the Hammaker crashes. If I'm Levi I'm starting I think that a 10-15 start is the safer option lol

It is probably too early to tell but he's starting to show the signs of an amateur phenom kid who dominated LLs but couldn't transfer it to proper racing when things got tough. I truly believe the amateur scene in the US does nothing to prepare these young riders for the real world.. not sure if he's another facility kid or not, but he doesn't seem to deal well with adversity 

I hope I'm wrong as he seems like a great kid

I honestly think a portion is that Star provides a whole program with everything needed to win. Does anyone know what Drew’s program is? Mitch has a good bike but it ends there.

A Pulp caller was asking about Levi getting better starts and what the problem was. There's no problem. This is who he is, a mediocre starter. We've seen a big enough sample size. And no, when he gets on a 450 its not going to improve his starts

Ya know Ive never even thought of that. I dont believe PC rides together as a team. Was Drew at the Dog Pound last year? If so, that makes his results even more headscratching. Riding at the Dog Pound helped Hammaker

Mediocre is an understatement. Also I think he passed more riders this year (SX aswell) than most riders do in their whole career lol

Levi reminds me so much of Mike Larocco.  Always coming from behind.

I guess we'll see if Deegan gets on well enough at this track to turn it in to a win.  I have my doubts.

Hannah was a bad starter, but was better with his mad dashes through the pack.

I was explaining to my wife because she kept hearing James say it's not Levi's fault... the problem it is his fault. If Levi got a great start and then he won't get caught up in the carnage.
