People wouldn't even hate on him if he wasn't this good and wouldn't make their favorite riders look like amateurs. Older or not, he stepped it up tremendously this year.
The Craig racing Jagger in the future joke was funny as fuck though. 😂

He should teach rest of the 250 field and at least half of 450 how to ride a whoops properly.

Very good ride but,

The average laptime for him was 50.458 and the top two did 50.099 and 50.116. The 4th and closest to these three was Vince Friese with 51.299.

The class is really weak and an elite level rider like Craig (especially on this track with these whoops) should be able to do that.

He taught hunter and jett to ride whoops. Back on the geico days. I believe he was even paid by the Lawrence's to stay back and do sx lessons after he finished his motos.
Now he is helping deegan

top 3 and the next one comes in 30 sec later and almost gets lapped

Craig is another level right now. Can't believe how many injuries the West coast has had so far.

Craig would have nearly the best whoop technique and speed out of all 250 and 450 . he is riding so good putting everything together he has always been awesome to watch ride and very fast . These come back rides aren’t that rare though once field thins out , Colt did exactly the same last year fell big on lap 1 and came from last to 3rd . This is Christian’s year though he will take this championship .

The guy is insanely talented on a dirt bike. It’s unfortunate that his luck has kept him on the 250’s.

I like the dude but it’s really hard to cheer for him. Imo he’s completely sandbagging the class

Funny, this was my initially thought at round 1. With the exception of 3-4 the lack of depth is quite sad.

He did what should be expected given the circumstances. Wasn’t some heroic ride

From dead last to 3rd.... that was impressive.

I especially love that he dispatched Friese after the lame move he threw down.

Ya he's made the rest of the field look like amateurs every year. I've lost track of all the titles he's won. What the count at this point?

If hes going to punt a red bike it should be Mosiman's. Watch the start replay again.

Class will always be weak when you split 22 of the fastest guys between 2 coasts. Get rid of regional championships.

I was told once by a promoter that the 250 class is split between East and West coasts so that young, upcoming talent like Christian Craig, Vince Friese, Jeremy Martin, and That new kid Phil Nicoletti can get some supercross experience without having to do the entire series...

Blink

Time for the 23 and out rule like MX2 is using?

He was in 6th by like 5 minutes in. Insane. I don’t see any way he loses this championship.

Wtf does it really matter how old Craig is ? He is getting paid to win a championship. Instead of piling on the guy for being 30 look around at some of the guys he is racing. Not sure how some can even be called pros.

Craig will continue to throw it away. You can tell by his attitude already it’s in his head

My biggest beef with Craig is that he’s giving his “haters” a lot of his attention. It has come up in several podium speeches and interviews. Shut up about your haters. Get tf off of social media.

I don’t particularly like the rules of the class. But he’s playing by the rules. I’ll hate the game. Not the player for that.

The only people that can beat Craig this year are Craig and Friese. If you know what I mean.
