Of course the 250's delivered, they almost always do. But, when I hear talk of boring in the 450's, I really wonder. Is it? Was it? A day later, I'm absolutely in the NOT boring camp. What Webb and Tomac did last night was a study in mental and physical fitness. They were absolutely putting on a clinic. Other side stories like Barcia moving up, etc. were certainly quelled by the battle up front.
Yeah, I like great racing and passing like everyone else, but throw in a race like last night where 2 champions are laying it all out there? Anything but boring. IMO.

And also what Jeff said, entertained everytime supercross or motocross is on even if it's a boring race just to watch those guys ride its amazing.

At just about any point in the race, Webb could have made a mistake that would have allowed Tomac to slip by and Roczen to catch him. I figured it’d be the whoops.
Everyone knows podiums are achieved by a good start. There's also a huge separation of ability from the top riders to the middle pack riders. After the start, the "racing" becomes more exciting once the top riders meet the lappers because hyper awarenes plays an important key in maintaining position and poise.
Plus there's a disincentive for riders to race because if they get too "aggressive" in block passing, stuffing or rubbing the AMA gets all bent out of shape. Along with the Announcers saying, The AMA isn't gonna like that...and its gonna be reviewed. On Saturday's race, Jason Anderson executed passing was a perfect example...He was racing! Even at Tuesdays race he was putting the hammer down.
A) Coop and Tomac had a different rhythm from each-other almost every lap
C) inside/outside, both lines used
D) same as C
E) to send or not to send, that is the question
F) Kenny was tripling on, Tomac caught on, then Webb started. They then slowly moved back to doubling when the outside got too rough
G) perhaps the biggest factor in the race. All night the outside was the hotline. Webb made the inside work, and pulled from Eli every lap here
Pit Row
A nice chunk of change is due any sports psychologist who can accurately tease out a Webb Achilles heel.
The bad news: It's for a "racing incident" involving his dick "teammate" Freeze
Meanwhile, my least favorite rider wins, and my favorite "championship guy" basically neuters himself live on the air.
It kinda sucked!
There are 22 riders on the track, there are always good battles somewhere, it’s up to the producers and camera people to catch and film them.
You get to choose what screen/battles to watch. Kinda like Netfux....pick and choose what you want to watch when you want to watch.
yeah...the logistics might be weird.
Just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
