Even Ricky bagging on the track 90 degree no pass turns. Good thing he’s the GOAT or he’d be sacked.

Looking at eli thats a guy that should wrap it up, its over, but kenny absolutely is still at the top of his game and could win again next year. 

People said the same about Eli first 6 races this SX season

I think Eli is kinda where Windham was at the end.  The spirit is willing but the head says nope.

Yes but that inside is janky.  It's getting better though.

Watch the McGrath invitational on youtube instead... it will blow your mind how bad today's track is at the very same venue...

This SMX series is broke. Being the best in both SX and MX gives you a bonus of spectacular 25 points... People seem not to care, this little soccer stadium isn't even sold out while it isn't that far from home for Haiden Deegan. The "hype" won last weekend and claims to bring loads of new eyes...

Not going to take the Deegan bait, but I think this needs to be re-assessed.  The series scoring is a bit of a gimmick. ChatGPT estimated attendance at 15k based on videos.  Who knows? Think fan burn out may be a factor.  Not sure a 3 round “play off’ is being well received.  If it is going to be a hybrid race then have truly hybrid tracks. Parts of the concept I like. Implementation is weak so far this year.

Does Johnson wear eye liner or is that just how his eyes are?

edit: Serious question. Not trying to be funny at all.

One-Malinoski is a modern faster Hardy Munoz(sp?) and how tall is Johnson? He makes his bike look tiny

Love that Roczen won! Keep racing Kenny. Interesting that Deegan had the fastest lap time in Moto #1. Deegan continues to show he'll be a fixture on the 450 podiums.

Lol Kade Johnson looks like he uses the same eyeliner as JD Vance.

My wife would say that his blue eyes highlight his dark lashes and brows.  I ain't gay...any more.🙃

Should someone sign Kade for a 450 contract, with his size he could build a career like Bloss, Peick, De Dijcker (MXGP), ...

Looking at eli thats a guy that should wrap it up, its over, but kenny absolutely is still at the top of his game and could win again next year.

Elis heart and head were still in it then. Since his injury where he was nearly paralyzed while having another baby he lost the fire. Once its gone its almost impossible to get back. Same happened to forkner after his near paralyzation too. Once the illusion is broken and you realize youre mortal the cats out of the bag and cant be put back in. Cant blame him, everyone loses it at some point. Hes had an epic career, its just his time now. It could happen to ken too, but at the moment he is still able to ride in a way conducive to winning.
