All

The turns on each side of the start straight were different. Hard to say how different they really were though. The bikes can just do so much more now days.

That section was probably worth close to a second and he wasn't giving up time anywhere else.

Never seen reed just be flat out way faster than stewart. What a race.

I believe he's been trying out all the brands.

Yep A1 2001

It was a joke. It was an old cr250 with a 3 on it.

Barcia went straight in a sweeping turn! He didn't shut a door. He just decided he wasn't going to let anyone else pass him after he was in the wrong line in the sweeper so he went straight. I think Roczen was so caught off guard by such a move that he didn't have time to react. Can't say I...

I had a problem with Barcia's move on Roczen. He went out of his way, actually slowing himself down, to come up into where Roczen was running. I'm ok with some aggressiveness. Dungey could turn it up a bit, but not cool with Barcia. I just prefer hard racing where you pick a line different from the other dude and...

Proportionately sized everything? You lost all validity after that.

Played both again last night. I think Alive is closer to what it needs to be than Reflex. While Alive had some momentum issues on landings, Reflex was the exact opposite. Almost impossible to kill momentum unless you're going over the bars. The bike feels so light and super soft. It needs to be somewhere in the middle. The bike...

Goerke took a pretty good ride on the start of Heat 1 I believe it was as well.

I certainly don't think roczen winning was anywhere near as shocking as grant or millsaps winning A1. Most surprising thing to me was RV throwing it away and then not being able to keep up with the top 4.

Not too bad of an opener. Not an Anaheim shocker, but at least Poto didn't win.

Well James coming through the field and winning that race woulda been a huge shocker. Oh well.

I'm not a hater, I just can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would pay a rider enough to make a living just for throwing whips.

First full lap he crashed. It was a 1:40 something lap. Then 2nd lap he did his fast time and pulled off.

Actually with 22 spots now and some guys missing I don't think it'll be that dramatic. I count 17 guys that would be shockers not to get in from the entry list and 18-24 are probably close then a big drop off. So 2 guys will miss and it'll probably only be a partridge, friese, wey type guy. I think...

agreed it's a track with few options but last year's was pretty much the same way. It had the quad after the sweeper that not everyone did but other than that it was basic and produced pretty good racing. If they build big whoops parallel to the extended part of the start, that first section could be interesting.

Looks like a compression undershirt with a vest jersey.

Villopoto sounds sick.
