I thought it would let him know when to buzz the tower. Smile

The Blue Flag idea is good. Thought about that mandatory on the bars. For safety's sake.

When the chips are down...Barcia...implodes. Still the same old Barcia. He can not control his emotions. He was up to P10...and coming up on Brayton. Anyone see what happened? I was thinking...SB is the wrong guy for Barcia to try and blow off the track. Then the next thing you see is he lost 10s and 4 positions.

It is not about speed...it is about mindset. You could see his emotions were out of control on the 1st lap the way he kicked Malcolm's bike. With a more cobntrolled mindset, that would have been a P7-P8 finish for him. Instead he gets a P13. And that is why he will never be championship material.
His kick looked more practical than emotional to me. He wasn’t going to be able to get his bike up cleanly with the Yamaha there. And he wasn’t going to reach down with the rear tire spinning like that.

The old “Bam Bam” persona was tiresome, but I really don’t think that was what happened there.

Didn't expect Ferrandis to have a fast time just off Kenny's, and better than Webb, Osborne, AC. Good ride by him, just needs to calm down those mistakes.
He didn't look comfortable at all in that heat. But it's also a completely different terrain from Houston. Maybe bike setup was off. I'm sure he'll be fine un Tuesday

Ferrabdis seems like he’s going for a ride on that bike right now. Don’t know if it’s a lack of hand strength thing or what but he’s been riding 450s for a long time
He's a throttle control artist that is joined in the middle by a slinky. A Race Craftifarian.

He'll be fine once he gets his flywheel weights sorted out.

OUT!

Jesus.

Anderson is up against very fast guys.

He’s not coasting

Everyone says that this year is stacked. Top 12 are on the same second , rookies are challenging for podium,

Anderson is fast! So is everyone else

Hell yes Kenny. That was absolutely awesome. Great night overall, Jett was cool, Mosiman was cool, Tomac and Roczen were cool, track was badass. Probably should have dumped the SX Triple for a rhythm section when they had the two doubles for air time, but finally some sort of height to the track. More dirt makes all the difference.

Bummed for Max, weird how they switched the long term plan but he’s been great. And nothing I’ve ever done has hurt worse than my dislocated hip, only time I’ve ever been light headed and in a semi-panic mode after a crash. Had my ass in a chair for a while and a good 6 months before I was able to ride, hope he heals quicker, 17 year old bones are incredible but the other damage done in a major dislocation is hard to rush.

Anyways, amazing night. How sick is it that SX is back?!

Hmm why is this getting downvoted when you could see so clearly he slowed to let him past? Lotta Kenny haters round here I guess 😂

Tomac on the podium "Kenny schooled me in that corner".
Tomac is a straight forward, no excuses guy. Fast as F, but also humble.
How could anyone not be a Tomac fan? Wow. Great race tonight. Roczen nailed it. Coop moved forward to a solid 3rd. Those three are absolute beasts.

Looked it up Web passes Adam under Yelow.
He did the pass right after that section.

I could be mistaken but I think the kick helped both guys out cause Stewart was gonna have to push his bike over anyway but he was still down and Barcia wasn't gonna wait for him to get up
I agree, it definitely helped both riders. In full speed, I initially thought it was petty like Barcia was pissy about Mookie hitting him. But then re-watching it in slow motion, Mookie obviously did nothing wrong, certainly nothing intentional. And Barcia kicking the bike helped them both get going faster. No harm, no foul.

So far just the fact.

Had in mind passing is not allowed.

Looked the Rule Book.

b. Yellow Flag or Yellow Flashing Light:
1. Indicates serious hazard on or near the track. This includes
the sighting or cool down laps.
2. Passing is allowed.
3. Proceed with extreme caution.

So nothing to worry about.

It was nice to see Tomac's interview tonight. He needs to be like that more often.

Congrats to Kenny.

Great racing between these two tonight.

Genuinely looked like both were having fun rippin' the ol moto-scooters against one another.

If he’d have entered there, they would have been side by side.

Eli is slightly ahead, going faster, and Roczen would have a non ideal line over the wall jump.

Kenny for the win , awesome race ..how he let Tomac pass after a mistake , and repass next few corners , all class
not many beat Tomac after the start he had

Graigs move on Jett was stupid , cost them both big points . Great win for Nichols , would have loved to see him battle Jett fort he win , maybe next race

Just me or did it seem like the 250 speeches were acknowledging that Jett should’ve been up there? Everyone knew he rode one hell of a race & deserved it.

I said this when I realized how far ahead Tomac, KRoc, and AC were stretched out ahead of everyone else. They were riding like buddies during practice. No dirty moves. Just pushing against each other. Incredible to see after watching what happened with CC and Jett.

ZO had a great ride, but he was 12th at the end of lap 1. Marvin was last at the end of laps 2 and 3, and came back to 10th!

Looking at lap times, laps 9- finish, MM was only out paced by the front two, having 8
sub :49 laps. Just had bad laps 2 and 23.
