Ken is strong tonight. But Eli looks hungry.

Now that Ralph's back, I feel like a lot of mistakes and crucial passes aren't mentioned because he winds up these long-winded talking points with Ricky and he doesn't want to cut himself off short.

And trust me, I hate the constant bitching about the commentators. I don't think Ralph is terrible, it's just that the differences are a little more apparent after having Leigh over for a few races.

I have no idea if Leigh would have caught it, but I was very surprised that it took 8 minutes before anybody mentioned that Ferrandis was quading out in that one section....

Ken is defending everywhere. No bueno.
I think Eli is being smart and realizing he doesn't need to go 1-1-1 to win, he'll open it up when its do or die time.

That’s not a slight on Kenny at all. He was hauling ass. Not worth it for Eli to throw it away in the first main.

Huge mental victory for Ken. He has a history of folding under pressure. Not today.

Really? Sometimes he drops off when passed, but generally he is brilliant at defending.
Nah, he was Webb`s and Tomac`s bitch last year. Not today.

I really appreciate how Tomac isn't a dirty rider in the slightest. If he doesn't feel like he can make a pass cleanly, he seems to hold back, he doesn't just prematurely send it and potentially endanger himself and other riders, and I actually appreciate that. Really good rides from our top 3 qualifiers. Kenny held strong.

15-20 mins after finish of the "last main". at least that's what the schedule says.

Damn good racing so far, but what I'm happiest about is that I've got NBC Gold and I don't have to listen to ANY STUPID COMMERCIALS. Oh yeahhh.

Dude! T-Bone & Earls is like 10 miles from my house! That was a cool makeup2mud. They're very friendly, down to earth, honest people. They're also a TM dealer, fancy bikes! Earl is also a fast A class hare scramble rider in a local series. Good for them!

After watching that Replay there is no way Craig should be in the top 5 .
I like Craig.
But this sport needs help.
The Rules say you can't gain passes,
So you can completely F up.
Go off track.
Even if not on purpose or however.
Still your off track. You not only don't gain spots , you also Lose spots.
They really need to start making these guys get back on where they got off. Or with in , 20 feet of it of something.
What's the argument, that they would have to stop?
Yeah so be it. If they have to stop turn around whatever.
Do you all think you should be able to miss a whole lane and get back in your spot????

How does that matter?
If you get bumped and go off track it's ok to Catch back up?
I'm not seeing it.
I think even if it means falling back to dead last. They really need to revisit the rules.
And make it so you have to Re enter eithin A certain amount of feet of where you went off.

Did you forget his attempts to take Dungey out in Vegas?

dude he cant just ride around outside the track until he feels for enter again, if he rode half track like that ofc he would get docked. he entered as soon as he could now, while loosing positions. what else do you want.

Yeah, not going to make the makeup to mud highlight reel. Out of all the girls that ride the best they could do was "after I got out of rehab"?

Bike has to be cleaned spotless, suspension changes made, taping to tweaked fingers, knees, whatever.

The triple crown format is the best format. Change my mind.
Boring first race as they don't want to blow it, boring third race as it's already decided. Middle race is the only one that's mildly entertaining. I'd rather end on a climax than a dud.

He lost about 5 spots it looked like, 1st-2nd to about 6th
I saw that, and I am a fan Of Craig.
I'm not saying it because I don't like him or anything, but under the circumstances he should have lost a lot more.
Seriously you can run alongside a whole lane basically at race speed and jump back on. It makes the sport look like a Joke.
I really hope the get this fixed at some point.
If they don't it's gonna get worse. These riders are gonna keep taking advantage.

Dayuumm. I don't remember the time between motos being this long last year. Seems like it's dragging.
