There are guys from 20th to 40th place that if you put them in a factory team and gave them a year they would be top 10 guys.
Regarding the lappers and the battle at the front, this is the one downside when tracks get ripped deep and become super-rutted like High Point. The lappers are battling too, in the case yesterday many of them inside the top-20. High Point is narrow as well, so inevitably the lappers end up in the best lines and like Eli said post-race, it becomes a bit of a chess game. Not much can be done, although I think ripping the track just a bit less might be OK. It was a better track for the 2nd motos, the line options were more equal.
Weird as you always here today’s 450’s are good out the box, they have too much power etc, so what is it that’s missing from the privateers????
as is obvious, some are better on smaller cc bikes.
nearly everyone agrees the 250 races are often much better races than the 450s.
the fact that 125 racing was killed off is a travesty to this sport is so far as rider development, close racing and as above, some riders being suited to a smaller size bike
organisers being in the pocket of oems is obvious and lame.
Pit Row
So, he's got nothing to prove / no reason the make an effort ( well, other than finishing bonuses, but he might have just signed for a shedload of money, and doesn't need / have bonuses to work for) . What's that Mitch Payton quote they run on Matthes' pod cast ........?
Doesn't try (incredibly hard) now in the 250s - does try hard when on the 450, that he's got a contract for. He appears to have worked it out really well for himself.
But, I recall a good amount of 'privateers' doing well in the 500 Nationals, years ago. I think, mainly when the 500s were a short series, but even when they had a decent amount of rounds. Big bikes, are a better bet / cheaper thing, for Privateers / small teams, than the little bikes, be it the 2t era, or the 4t Handicap class era.
I thought High Point was great, and have made a mental note to never ride there as that track would destroy a rider of my skill.
you can bet your bottom dollar is say Barcia started winning every single race from now on then all the Barcia/Yamaha fans stop moaning about dominance, and then the ET/Kawasaki fans start moaning...no one will ever be happy
