Interesting how AC raced ET hard and after the pass he faded. There is no love between these 2.

Yeah, I'm over the nostalgia factor. He's 'Ralph Lite', bringing nothing to the table other than a loud voice and constant discrepancies. Keep Leigh in there full time if they can't get anyone else.

IMO, if you don't know a sport front to back, you shouldn't be calling the game/race.

I think Todd is fine, Ricky is incredibly bad though. He stumbles over nearly half of his sentences.

Webb’s pace is way off compared to Kenny and Eli these last couple weeks, yet he still pulls off good results. A danger man still.

Yup, can't count out Webb. Lot of the season left and he seems to always maximize.

If they're going to bounce back and forth between commentators why not let RC take the helm and be the main guy? This dude tonight was fucking aweful. "The officials thought Oldenburg did something inappropriate"........the way he worded that made it sound like the dude was being accused of whipping his dick out in the pits or something. Shut the fuck up and let RC talk.

Idk what world you're living in, but RC is not a play by play guy. He's barely a color commentator.

Ricky had a rough night, for sure. Todd said a lot of dumb shit, too. I usually don’t complain about the announcers (I thought Ralph was fine,) but it all seemed exceptionally bad tonight, except for Daniel, of course.

They were still better at their jobs than the AMA officials were, so that’s a positive.

Ricky is so fucking bad it’s diminishing his racing career.
Does he stumble over his words in his day to day conversations? We need a change in the worse way.

He knows the sport! His observations are pretty spot on the majority of the time just like calling Oldenbergs mechanical causing the crash by noticing the rear tire stopping mid flight. That's interesting to the general viewer like "wow, this dude knows his shit" vs "Oldenberg goes for the rope-a-dope outside to inside sending him over the bars!!!!!!!!!!!" I could care less if someone stumbles their words during a live, call it as you see it broadcast. Spewing dumb shit for 3 hours on the other hand.

Ok but the job you described is literally that of a color commentator, which is his position. You need someone in the booth who is a professional and can actually "call" a race. Ricky is the GOAT, but a wordsmith he is not.

He should study Tony Romo calling nfl games. If he got a little smoother and didnt try to rush everything, all of his experience and sixth sense into what is happening would make his commentary just like Romo. I hate commentators that add nothing more than the average viewer doesnt already know.

It's still a long season and Tomac and Webb aren't that far back; I wouldn't count them out yet, especially given Roczen's history with the later part of seasons. That said, Kenny has never looked this incredibly good over the first five races that I can remember. 2015 and 2016 there were too many mistakes, and of course we all know what happened in 2017. Kenny looks awesome.

Yeah...and that push to pass AC and catch Barcia gassed him. Watch Tomac closely. He is not standing up out of corners as aggressively. I have NEVER seen him clip so many jumps and lose time from that. He used to just OJ everything and land pinned. He is riding a lot different...and the different to me looks like fitness. He is literally just not riding as HARD.

Roczen....looking unstoppable now. Wow...

Good to see Barcia getting back up on the box.


Too bad about Jett... tough kid to even go out after those two crashes for the LCQ. Respect.

He's gotten better, but the reality is, he's just there for clout and has no real bearing on the show being shyte or not.

Todd blasting metaphors that don't make sense doesn't do anything.

Fuckers complaining about Diffey's accent but then not noticing he was calling the correct names as the LCQ racers rounded the first corner is astounding. He's literally their best option.

Oh for sure. People are going to start questioning whether or not he's the GOAT of our sport because he's not a naturally gifted speaker.

The best of the best and the real title contenders are the ones who will win with a good start, or consistently move up through the field when they get a bad start. That's Roczen, Tomac, and Webb for sure. At Indy 2, Tomac and Webb both had mishaps in their heat races that led to lousy gate picks.....that led to mid pack starts. Kenny gets a 2nd place start, gets by Barcia immidiatly, and wins. Webb won when he got a good start 2 weeks ago. Tomac did 3 weeks ago. At Indy 2, Webb and Tomac worked up to 3rd and 4th conistently moving forward quicker and quicker due to their pace never slowing down like many others.
Those are the 3 studs in the class for sure. Its gonna be good and points between those three is gonna be close to the end no matter who wins the title.
Webb's ability to make creative moves and passes is amazing to me. His racecraft and ability to get around people is the best out of all of them i think. The top 3 are so impressive in different ways. Awesome season.
