This is the second time today that they started talking about Tomac when the camera's on him while he's on a lap, and then it's a quick cut to Deegan "on a hot lap".  What the fuck are we doing Bondo?

Unpopular opinion

AC is annoying AF.

I was going to say this last week, but I figured it'd get downvoted to hidden. There's just something about him, and his delivery on RDL and the AC JB show thats nails on a chalkboard.

Huh?  Thought Juju had best time in Q2?  Did they take away his time?

Vital going to be ok if this comes down to Deegan and Prado? Both guys weren't supposed to be inside the top 5 this season, with the exception of some flash-in-the-pan rides.

Well credit where it’s due… they cut to the rider that just set the fastest lap of the day. Not very often we even get to see the fast lap.

Dang.  That lap by the #38 wasn’t even that clean.  Probably could have been in the 1:12’s.

AC has become somewhat cringeworthy on some of the pods. Still one of the nicest dudes on the planet.

Lol...This is the only place besides the broadcast that I hear/see anything.🙃

I placed him somewhere between Ryno and Windham.  That's where most folks fit I reckon.😉

Juju gets the spot, that is a good choice. He'll be good, and he is in form.

Its because they have their favorites .Its like Rydet D the only reason they even mention him is because hes 2nd in points.. ..to open tbe show they started with kitchen and JuJu  then went to Ryder .they skip right over him all the time ..I hope Ryder wins this title for himself and Husky plus he will be making the top guys at kawasaki look dumber than they already are ...Go Ryder D

Vital going to be ok if this comes down to Deegan and Prado? Both guys weren't supposed to be inside the top 5 this season, with the exception of some flash-in-the-pan rides. 

If anyone thinks these two were the best riders this year, they need to take their rose colored glasses off.

Not even remotely close to what I was saying.

Deegan dominated SX on a 250, finished 3rd outdoors on a new bike in a new class, started and finished every race of the year, won the first SMX round, and is clearly in the hunt tonight.

Not saying he's the best rider of the year, but on numbers the only one close was Hunter.

Vital will be okay as long as Deegan doesn’t win, lol

But this is what we want - a genuine battle of the top 4 guys in a winner take all slugfest. Prado’s got the edge in points. If he can take it home, great.
