Adam Bailey must be bummed. Their ‘champion’ isn’t even coming back to defend his title. I’m starting to think WSX just isn’t going to work.

Actually it had more to do with how much he would have had to pay WSX if he backed out of the contract with them.....

He has the propensity for immense speed, but I think tapping into that speed at the moment is a catalyst for AC yardsales + injuries. Judging by the dozen or so interviews with him that I've seen recently, it sounds like that's the general sentiment around his camp as well. He was transparent going into sx that his focus was going to be centered around creating a base to work off of. It sounds like (based off of his emotional interview after the other night) he wasn't all that proud of where that base was until Indy. BUT he seems...

The Jett nut lickers will tell you that if he doesn't do it this year, then it won't happen.

Dunno- majority of us thought Kenny was done and we were all on his nuts Sunday morning!

One of the worst things about our sport is how apparent and obvious it is when an athlete isn't performing as well as they formerly did. If a star wide receiver in college went up to the NFL, showed flashes of greatness, dealt with a string of injuries, and came back from them and was still a solid enough WR to be a starter on a high-level team, I don't think many people would be sad or upset about their career. It's accepted that becoming and staying elite while remaining healthy is something only a select few can do, and...

I hope he can just to quiet the doubters. Great personality, good guy and great speed. If Roczen can win on an outdated Suzuki surely AC has a chance.

How many 450 races has he completed? 18… that’s one full season IF they were consecutive and we know they were 3-4 at a time. as far as 450 games experience he’s barely past his ‘rookie’ season… he’s capable of winning…but not this year. Finish and build. cheering

Roczen did it, no reason AC can't pull one off.

I think he's capable of winning if he can find a way to get across the finish line before everyone else

Trust the process.

I think he can, needs to stay healthy for a season to get that confidence back… dude has the speed

Agreed that 47 is a lot. I’m not saying they would be championship contenders but their increased speed (including AC9) will make getting a start all that much more important. Already a great season could become epic.

More winners is only good! Next up: Sexton, Anderson, Barcia…AC?

8th place, looking back many times and simply letting people pass him that he can normally lap or almost lap is not a champion's ride. But I do get your point. Coker is learning now what Kawi had to try and manage.

The 250’s really struggled with the woops unpredictability. The 450’s did a little better through them but everyone put it on defense mode to survive for points. Barcia seemed to find a good line on the right side .
