The sand pics are awesome! Great for the fans but I am sure the factories hate sand like that.

James Stewart even commented that the back and forth Barcia did against Tomac was not smart racing in his opinion. Justin are you listening??? Guess we will find out today because odds are ET will have to make a pass on him again.

I think they all do this. Some more than others but it is the nature of SX. JA gets it better than others. The tracks are so tight, very limited places a pass can be made and short races...so it has to happen or there would be no racing.

Only ET, KR and CW have a legit shot at the title now. Unless all three of them get hurt or have a mechanical. I would have to say odds on favorite is Cooper.

I hope Kenny does well. Was just asking the question for discussion's sake since the very first week after it happened Kenny did not do as well. KR needs to get a good start. I would love to see the two of them battle. We will see. Cooper does have the ... more »

What about a media guy asking Cooper the very question! How about that??? The guy did great at A1 considering being sick so it seems there must be something more to this.

I don't really agree he was getting good starts. He snuck around the inside (As RC4 was telling him to do since A1) but his "start" was still not good in my view. I feel bad for him actually but it is inexplicable that the fastest guy (for many years ... more »

Yes, he should! And if someone buys a ticket to the race they have a 'right' to boo anyone and anything they want. That is part of being a fan. Big deal! Let them boo. Get over it people.

Passing quickly has always been a problem for him unless he was in beast mode on a track that was good for passing. So he needs to be aggressive. The fastest rider on the track should pass people with authority. Plus, we know (and the other riders know) ... more »

I think getting over his sickness is the biggest thing. I am not sure about the DeCoster story being real. It does not add up. Cooper's struggles at the beginning were from being really sick not lack of desire. I seriously doubt the guy with the #1 plate ... more »

I mentioned exactly that last year

If you were betting KR94 might be a better bet because of his starts. That is a huge advantage for him over Eli. But ET3 makes the races so much more exciting. No one else comes even close. Will be a sad day when he retires.

Eli looks to be MUCH better this year. Winning two of the last three and a second. A1 looked troublesome but apparently he got it fixed quickly. He even looked fast when he got fourth. Just some tracks he can't make up for the bad starts. Kenny looks ... more »

Maybe it is the rider liking one surface better than the other instead of the bike? That is what I think.

Cooper does seem to own Kenny in SX as far as the mental game. Can't wait to see what happens between them next week. If you recall, a year ago when Webb did this to him in the final turn KR was not the same again for the rest of the season. I think ... more »

Almost seems like the late battle with Eli messed him up some allowing CW2 to catch up and surprise him at the end. Cooper may not win the title as he is pretty far back in points but he is going to a factor Eli and Ken will have to deal with. Still ... more »

1) Except for A1 Eli has been the fastest guy IMO. So it is not surprising that he passed KR twice. The difference was he got a good start. If Eli had his normal 12-15th place start KR would have probably won leading every lap. 2) Cooper Webb is getting ... more »

Find this hard to believe. I have spoken with him before about moto and he talked a lot about it. He has some great stories. Yes, he still has the same type of personality as when he raced but I think you are reading him all wrong. He is a good guy and ... more »
