But “vulgar display of power”?
After KR 1-1?
No. It was a good moto win.
And everyone gets conservative closing a race with cushion. KR won moto 2 last race by over 8sec, and coasted home.

I'm going to have to breakdown and buy the sports pass. Cable doesn't have moto 2 on until 7pm tonight and I tried not to peak at the results, but couldn't help myself. Doh!

I really thought Tomac was mailing it in due to differences with the team. I guess not.

Sure vulgar display of power is a bit extreme . But he dropped a couple of 2:03s to take the lead and cruised. It was vintage Tomac.

But not near as decisive as KR at Thunder Valley.

Wasn't expecting KR577 to be lapped in moto 2 but I think he and KTM will take top 15 in moto 1 as he's far from 100%

He's learning, having his brother take most of the spotlight should help him to focus and he still have enough chances to fix it.

The most frustrated should be RJ. Put him on a goddamn Star Yamaha.

What cable do you have? Might be included… Cox and xfinity both include the sports pass in your cable subscription.

A little surprised by Adam fading…. Just got done watching on replay. Ferrandis is on a roll, fast AND consistent.

I can’t see the race, taking forever getting loaded n. Of Salt Lake City. Then a air bag blows. Sounded like a great race, by all the great comments. By members doing the play by play, good stuff.

Watching Tomac when he is on is the best moto to watch. Period.

I am surprised he is fading too. He had a lot of time to prep for MX.

Few observations from being there:

1. Swoll rode awesome. Bummed for RJ but regardless Swoll rode well both motos
2. Hunter Lawrence needs to stop crashing
3. Forkner looked better and battled through the end the 2nd moto to edge out Mumford
4. Justin Cooper needed to beat out Jett in that 2nd moto to grab some momentum back so I was glad to see it happen
5. Nichols rode well
6. Roczen was flying in moto 2, like Millville flying. I think they said he came from 16th to 4th really quick. Early on I thought he was going to push all the way to first.
7. Ferrandis is the real deal on a 450 regradless of rookie status. Fast and consistent.
8. Ac rode well, wasnt surprised to see him fade in moto 2 but hopefully he can keep improving, he did ride really well
9. Hoopng that Eli Tomac is back and out of his funk. Saw a good sign the 2nd moto
10. There has to be something wrong with Cooper Webb. Im not a fan at all but its kind of mind blowing. About the same as seeing Tomac struggle

I think he went 7-6. Bad starts/mistakes hindered him. Hes got top 5 speed, hopefully we will see it soon.

Also he started I think 5-7th in moto 1 and tried the uphill triple before the quad and cased it and went down to about 20th or so on the first lap.

No doubt,Factory head 😂As soon as he leans with his head , you guys know what it looks like… He has his own head lean and it kinda goes up too. Its “lets get it on!” 🔥💪😂 i swear you can see it. Hes the only one that does it.
