As many have said the short sets of whoops make for a boring track. Last night had a decent stretch of whoops and it made for some excitement. Thumbs up and lets include them again.

PS. Do the Honda’s go through whoops smoother than any other bike? Don’t know if it is the bike, setup, or rider, but the Honda’s seem to track smoother, teeter-totter less than anything else.

Nice whoops, but way too short. It was so short that even a faster rider could not make a pass.

How many passes in the whoops did we see yesterday or this season compared to usual ?

Whoops were important in the past. Now they made everything to make them a non factor.

You have a couple of Honda riders with superior riding style. Its the riders, not the bike.

Same as Barcia can go trough a set of whoops on a KTM while Webb and Marvin cant..

Actually Kenny surrended the 2 previous corners, especially the one before the whoops. I was really upset to see that, Kenny could turn more in the inside to protect his lead coming into the whoops. I thnk Kenny's "problem" is more about fitness, if he can't really battle the last 5 minutes then his championship hopes are over.
