Eli getting out front has made this race a snoozer since no one can catch him. Sad edit: was angry over pulpmx fantasy...lost 15 points. It was a decent race, my bad boys!

it wasn’t a snoozer. barcia reeled him in after like lap 4-5 and so did kenny. the only part that made you think it was a snoozer was because tomac started first and won. the racing was great. don’t have to have passes for good racing

I’ll have to disagree. That was an exciting 450 main! Granted Tomac got the start & barely held onto it, there was a lot of passing & good racing going on the entire race. he even said he felt a lot of pressure the entire race. That was one of the better tracks & mains of the season IMO.

Honestly I was just buttburt because I picked Tomac to pull holeshot for 15 points in fantasy mx but switched to Anderson at the last minute because i figured “He’s not gonna go all out with his shoulder how it’s been .” Lol LaughingTongue

36 behind Anderson. 12 behind Roczen. 1 behind Musquin. That's 12 points gained on Anderson.in two weeks.Seems to me his chances for the championship are very much alive at the moment.

I was hoping for more excitement from this track
I guess I shouldn't
When it's hard packed and slick it seems it's always like this
But what a boring race
... high light was seeing BARCIA up front
And Kenny was riding well

I still don't believe we can count any of the top guys out at the moment. Sure, Tomac has almost no room for error but after last season I'm finally convinced that anything can happen. Don't count any of these guys out yet, it'll make for a great season.

I was gonna bitch about the heats and LCQ's, which were a colossal waste of time compared to the 3-moto format.

But I was pleasantly entertained by the mains tonight. A rare one in which there was lots of passing and position changes.

I think Tomac is 24 points behind Roczen.

I thought it was decent. The broadcast was able to find battles. Not every race can be Seattle or Salt Lake like last year.

Nor sir, tonight proved why old school is the best, just solid racing tonight all over. TC needs some heavy tweaking first, it was just bad, not horrible but defiantly not great.

How many times has this come up? The more technical the track, the more likely Tomac or one of the other top guys will win. The less technical, the more everyone else has a chance and better racing (IMO).

It's races like that which make a case for the triple crown.

Everytime I see Barcia battling out front its (still) a breathe of fresh air. I think it was exciting. At one point Kr was over 10 seconds behind eli and barcia 7 or so and it was cool to see the lead shrinking lap after lap. Bummer the pass didnt happen.

I thought it was a great night of racing. If Tomac screws up one section in the last 7 minutes Barcia gets him. They all had to hit their marks perfectly. Track was a beast. Barcia and Kenny were equally impressive.

Even though there was no lead changes I still thought it was pretty good because of the track and there was some decent racing in the top 5. When Barcia and Roczen got within 3 and 5 seconds of Eli it seemed to hover right around there and though it was pretty close on the last lap I never really got the sense that Eli was in danger of losing the lead. He managed the race well.

This was a tough and technical track. If one looks at it from the riders perspective, racing is never boring. The riders had to be near perfect on this track, and we did see some great racing both up front and in the pack. Just one example would be Anderson, The fade.. the regroup and the charge. It was a tricky track.
If one watches from a fans point of view, it was probably boring and Triple Crown would the answer... But to me this track delivered and was fun to watch.
