Anaheim 2 SX - Practice Discussion

Holy shit Lamay!! I was watching him close all race; looked like he was riding so uninspired back there in 5th. Didn't think he was going to do it. Then final lap he reals him in, and as soon as the camera turned to CR22 getting the checkers I thought "fuck, if Lamay makes it happen I wont see shit now!" then BOOOOM

Ok Reed qualified. Looked pretty close though. A poor start and he's probably watching the racing tonight.

I dont recall a track where so many riders had such fast times.

In practice there were 14 guys within a second of the fastest qualifier. Its ridiculous really. In years past weve had guys who were around a second or so quicker than the next group. RC. Bubba and Reed commonly were in a group.of their own.

AC looked like he kind of waved, “I’m good” to someone off the back of the mule.

He certainly was hanging it out.

Think they cut the whoops down to increase the chance of a surprise winner?

Probably happened once Marvin confirmed he was in.

Non challenging track will do that to the times.

I remember really liking A2 last year. This is a pretty lame track. Small whoops, too. Meh. We'll see, though.

Feld, AMA, FIM this is a joke. How can they approve of such a shitty track?

And back then people wanted tighter racing.

Now we have parity, 14 guys with in a second, if you threw the 250 and 450 class together 20 riders are with in 1 second!

The starts might be key, or it might make for some great bar banging action as riders have to force the issue to make moves.

Guess we will have to wait till race time to find out.

The first 8 minute main is going to be hectic

Roczen’s comeback is so interesting. Wonder if he gets right arm pump from it being overworked.

Cool down heat up is a big factor, and how are those shoulders......really?

The Bellator card is honestly better. It's also free.

Can someone tell me why all these guys flip their goggles around before they put them on?
You never had dirt in your goggles??? That’s the most annoying thing ever, and anytime it happens the dirt invariably goes in your eye over a jump. So gotta get that shit out before the gate drops.
