Tomac, Dunge and Musquin were really good also
I know it doesn't always work out as planned, but Pro's are damn good about hitting the eject button.

Ken is just on fire. If he is this fast having less than two weeks riding the bike just wait till A1 or Outdoors. Plus the new HRC 450's look trick/exotic again compared to the other bikes.
huge improvement over last years SX where he couldn't get a start to save his life.
early on I was reading about the new Honda being fast off the gate.
Everyone has something good to use as a confidence booster after the MEC.
Kenny obviously showed that he could dominate.
But he also showed everyone that yet, he was not immune to a costly mistake when pressurized, which they can all capitalize on (only one such mistake can ruin a championship).
Dungey did his thing and made an important pass on Tomac, mentally-wise.
If it had been a championship, he'd be right there, where he excels to be.
That, a week after winning his come-back race in Germany.
Solid base to built a defending season.
Marvin went 4/3/2, the latter resisting to intense pressure.
Very positive for him, he knows he IS a legit race winner.
Tomac won.
For him and his camp, after all is said and done, racing the "meaningless races" (Charlotte, GH, Vegas) and winning every one of them appear like an investment in next year that money coul'nt have bought.
And he still got the money !
I caught live. Wondered if anyone else did. Sure wanted to take credit.
Bottom line Kennys amazing, the new Honda looks very good, but it wasnt a runaway over the course of the night. Is it January yet?
Pit Row
Dungey was definitely off his game. I know he's been out for a while but I expected more from him.
Kenny - hasnt been injured but allegedly hasnt had much time on the new bike (which would be totally different to the Zook), and we have no proof to say he hasnt had more seat time on the new Honda
Ryan - coming off injury but has a settled bike, would not expect him to be 100% yet at race speed (depends on how long he has been practicing for though, might be longer than we think) but was still fast
ET - fully fit and no change of bike, should be fast
MM - same as ET
When you put all the the above into context ET and MM should of been winning, ET did but only due to a crash from Kenny, although some have said he was catching Kenny there was still a 1.5s gap with only 4 laps left...I dont think he would of got near imho
Plus the 10 lap races mean they should always be fairly close unless people behind 1st have issues, which is what has happened a bit in previous years, this year there wasnt a lot of carnage behind 1st place in the 450 races.
In any case I think 2017 SX season should be great, lets all hope there is not the injury list that there was this year.
