Davies won't be denied today, unless something crazy happens again.

Kitchen has to be the worst starter in the game

To be one of the top guys, yes he is.

Levi’s starts are driving me crazy 

It’s been 7 races 

Put a jet engine on that thing Mitch

Kitchen has to be the worst starter in the game

His best lap time through 3 laps is a pathetic 2:22.. leaders are 2:18-2:19..

Kitchen doesn't need to be lookin over to see where the leaders on. .hes so far back he's gotta put the pedal to the metal

Levi will lose this championship purely because of his starts. Rooting for Ryder D to win this but I think Davies has more speed and pace. 

Starts have been terrible but I think if you put kitchen and Davies up front together that kitchen will shrivel up and get beat just like he has his entire career when someone with a little confidence and aggression is racing him. Doesn't have that dog in him..... Plenty of evidence at this point.

This is the best Washougal conditions we have seen in a long time. Overcast sky makes all the difference apparently.

I agree. I thought Joe would have been the guy but is what it is.

You can really hear the 4-strokes screaming during this moto. Bllaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh.  I miss the sound of the 2-strokes wound fully out so much.

Deegan dropped another 12 seconds in 2 laps.  Still learning!

He’s chilling bro. Relax. I’d bet he could have caught prado, but the amount of effort to get there, then to battle him and potentially not even get the position would have left him spent for moto 2. He did the right thing 100%

he was not catching Prado....that's why he quit charging

Davies gave kitchen a HUGE break last week and one week later it's all gone again...

Also does Davies have the best first full outdoor season in a while? Assuming he wins today and maybe 1-2 more overalls this year I can't even think of who did that last. RV in 06?

I just don't understand why Thrasher is being lined up for a PC ride. I know SX is more important and he almost always manages to grab a win but PC is desperate for a little consistency after recent years and there has to be some fresh talent out there. Thrasher is an absolute mystery

RC was different? Uh yeah he was 27yrs old and in his absolute PRIME when he retired. 😂

He retired leading the points having won every National in 2007 he lined up for. You gotta think he would have won at least 2 more mx titles. Thats being conservative lol

I don't remember anyone looking this good in his first mx season in yeeears. He is far exceeding both Jett and Deegans stats. Probably a little hard to compare because the field is a little different and both Jett and Deegan raced animals in their rookie season. Imagine what Davies would do to this field now if he didn't get landed on right before outdoors last year.

Pro Circuit? Is that true?! Is so, its signings like that putting PC in the positions they're in. Let go of Macadoo but sign Thrasher? Take a shot on a young guys like Timmerman or Romano.
