looks like team KTM Marvin and Broc aren't trying to win practice.

How much longer can Ronnie Ford keep trying. I mean, if he was remotely close to the cutoff point, maybe, but cripes, the only way he’s ever going to make the night show is if he finds a round where less than 40 riders are entered.

It's cool to have a smoker out there but he needs to find some serious speed

You know, when Vicky Golden tried, she was much closer than him, and after that season, I think she knew she needed more speed and just didn’t bother to come back. Makes me wonder if Ronnie is delusional or if he’s getting solid publicity for trying and that’s paying him something.
^^^^man I agree with you on this one, at least grab a 450 and see where your times are. Right now he’s below what an intermediate rider would place I’d think ? I commend him for doing it I really do but like Matthes even said he’s gonna get hurt or worse hurt someone else!!

AC and Anderson are the guys to beat, Hill has some problems, Tomac possibly out. Musquin is off the pace. Whoopdiedoos seems tough. Carnage in the 180°s or the rhytm sections...

DV may not admit it now but he absolutely loved being a Vitard. I caught him in the pits at Thunder Valley one year and he was the usual French aloof til I mentioned Vital then he and his wife wouldn't stop talking. He's a cool cat but don't waste his time...he puts a pretty high value on it.
glad you didn't waste that precious time talking about an internet message board, oh, wait…

Right! A concusion doesn’t discriminate for whoops but a shoulder does. He meandered around most of the track, gingerly went through the small set of whoops and rolled the big set.

Tomac is done unless camp Tomac is playing deep, deep mind games.

If Tomac's shoulder is trashed again - that is a very tough position to be in. More physical therapy, or perhaps additional surgery. Especially, if the joint is "loose" and it is now prone to popping out. Even if you can stand the pain, you can't have your shoulder pop out halfway across blasting the whoops. You're toast if that happens.

Wow. Really impressed by Josh. Very well spoken. Not the impression I had of him when he was younger. Sounds like he has matured a lot.

Not only that. Add the insecurity that it will bring. Knowing that it might fail at any second, at any obstacle. Scary stuff.

But we are speculating. Lets see what happens in the second session.

I've ridden motocross with a loose joint and it was horrifying not knowing if and when it would pop out. Like ACs shoulder a couple of years ago when it popped in practice and he stopped and put it back in to go back out riding. That's a desperate move, if it comes down to that the championship is out the window, get it fixed and get back strong. I doubt this is the deal, probably more like Deanos shoulder, it's sore and he feels weak.

Second year pro, last year Supercross was derailed by a concussion. Won an A title at LL's in '15 and '16.

Rides for Rock River.

Just Saying but one of the 50 kids was only 11 seconds off Ronnie Fords time in their practice!

Not that I would be any faster, but that is a long way off the pace.

Looks like Tomac will have to improve his time to make the night show.
