Vince is really riding great! Hated to see him go down. Hope he’s ok and good to go next weekend! He could be a threat in the triple crown format!

Same. He catches alot of shit but he is a throwback to the old days of the sport. I hope he gets a podium before the end of the season, he looked good out there tonight.

Dammit I really wanted him to hold onto that too. I think they said stitches for his tongue.

He’s catching a ton of flack but people forget about Ryno and Mike brown from 2001-2005

He walked a fine line being so tactical without getting dirty. It’d be great to see him ride that way week in, week out.

By the way, what a testament to modern safety equipment. The fact he stayed awake with the amount of instantaneous torque his helmet went through is wild. The visor even stayed on.

Hope he’s as sharp next week.

Ya hope he pulls one off this year, I'm a big fan of that kid.

Was watching him tonight thinking he actually looks super solid.. no real dirty crap yet this season (that I’ve seen) and holding his own. Gave ole Hunter all he could handle.

He seems to be improving each round, hopefully he is right to go next week. He is the most exciting part of the 250 class so far.

I wanted to see Hunter and Jo get past him, but definitely not like that. I hope he can pass the concussion protocols and come out swinging next weekend. The series is always better with more fast guys in it.

I'm somehow rooting for him, such a bummer that he went down.

I like when he races people. Not dirty but you are actually supposed to race the other guys. Otherwise it would be lap times and no gate drop.

I was hoping he'd pull it out as well. I think he will get one before he year is out!

People need to stop hating on Vince. He is a great rider.

He just needs to find a way to finish as strong as he starts.

Freeze is indeed a great rider... even I am hoping he puts it on the box... but that stuff between his ears keeps getting in the way... truly hopes he finds his groove this year... ridiculously good starter... tons of high level experience... he has everything it takes to win.. he just needs to believe in his training... believe in his experience... and more importantly, be championship mode freezeee, not "oh I see you are within ten feet of me, here, let me smash into you" freezeee....

Always thought he was a douche, but have been finding myself rooting for him lately.

I think that this shows the true level of the 250 class, when Friese can run in front of guys like Shimoda and Lawrence who people are all giddy over.

I think Vince rode really great , but i agree that the 250 class east and west is weak as far as having superstar s . Funny thing is if you said at the start of the year that Vince is as fast as Hunter or Jo you would get laughed out of it . I also think put Vince on the east coast and he would be right up there speed wise too .. come on MITCH give Vince a factory ride

That can be looked at both ways. Maybe Vince deserves more credit?
