I didn't notice, because NBC only showed the racing from 2nd place and back. They followed Roczen for maybe one minute total, if that.
Roczen finished nearly 15 seconds ahead, which means he must've been doing something or some section really well, but I wouldn't know because they never showed him.
From a TV coverage standpoint, how is NBC's method (only following the battles) at all beneficial to the teams or sponsors with a rider who absolutely dominates like Ken did in Atlanta?
If I ran a team, I would make sure my rider always ended up in the LCQ. By far the best bang for your buck. The top four in the LCQ almost always receive more screen time than Roczen and Team Honda did on Saturday for dominating the best SX racers in the world.

I'm guessing Honda is having a talk with Roczen this week to slow it down so he can get on TV.
I think a lot more people would've been pissed about missing everything that happened just to watch Roczen ride his own race up front. I'm sure Honda was really upset about having their bike on the top of the leaderboards fifteen seconds up on second place, lol
What they did catch...was Tomac with a monkey on his back....

Also would be nice if they could wait until at least all qualifiers (top 9) cross the finish line in the heat races before breaking for commercial.
"If I ran a team, I would make sure my rider always ended up in the LCQ" (insert slow clap here)
Hey, Bobby Regan Jr... newsflash - you don't own a team. You aren't financially influenced by who is or is not on TV. So how about pouring the rest of your Mountain Dew on your keyboard to stop you next week from being "that guy" who has to find SOMETHING to bitch about after the most action packed main event of the year.

Most positions were given to him. He couldn't pass injured Webb and both got dropped by Barcia and Anderson till he crashed. Think he only gained 2 sec on Roczen too.
