i love that kid.
it is bullshit he couldn't get a ride after winning the 250E title.
but christ man, show up and run the one offs and give yourself a shot at getting a ride.
if for nothing else, to spite the factory pricks that passed you over.
10 lap sprints are his wheelhouse too
his fitness is a mess and really disheartening when he can look at his older brother and see how small the window to be in your prime is.......but he wants to get fat, relax and not maximize his ability. Fucking shame.
I had hoped Barcia would have done better, after all, he has won the MEC before and has the talent within him!! Not sure how he can find the secret to unlock his mind to let him get to the front where he belongs!
Tickle... he did as I expected!! He's on the premier team now and anticipate him to be a top three guy by the outdoors. Always a top five guy!!
Tim Gajser... he rode pretty good for a rookie in this type of event. He was fast before the crash and you could see how uncomfortable he looked but still tried his best. Hope he's not hurt too bad and it wold be awesome to see him come back in 2019 to race in the USA championships!!
Marvin's millions. Marv is the statistical favorite for the 2018 Supercross title. It will be his 3rd year in 450 Supercross and most riders win their first Supercross title before year 3. If they haven't won it by then it isn't likely to ever happen.
Jason Anderson not plowing into a down Eli Tomac. That could have been really bad for Eli and the sport. Inches away from disaster.
Dean's speed in qualifying. We can work with speed.
Not impressive:
The track layout. To many gimmicks. Where can we submit track layouts for consideration?
When you pay for a seat in the stadium and only see the riders for half of the lap and half of that is flat ground with 2 corners that were so one lined no one can make a pass all night is a joke bigger than the joker lane debacle.
Dean's starts.
Most surprising would have been if Marvin did not easily win the million after Tomac's crash.
moto concept team? MCR? (they had alessi correct?), Geico put together a 450 for him to ride?
Honestly it's mostly his fault. If he was in shape, he'd be offered a ride. He has the pace.....for about 60 percent of the race
lots o f crashouts and bad luck, plus i'm suspecting he commands a mighty dollar.
anyway, back on topic.
First few laps were ok before the red flag, then it was a snooze fest... was there a pass for position in the top 5 after that?? (By the way I think if that race doesn't get red flagged then Tomac wins, that really changed the dynamic of the night I believe)
The track was terrible for racing, the joker lane didn't work.
Jeff trying to hype up the battle between Marv and Jason Anderson ??? They train together everyday as if Jason was going to battle with him and take away that payday.. he would of said to Marv I'll keep a safe gap for you, bring ha home $$$$
Everyone finished where they should I thought, probably expect Josh Grant to do a bit better..
Anyways went off topic, sorry. Looking forward to A1
Pit Row
Jett Reynolds definitely got a few more twitter followers over the weekend as well, kid rips! Made for some exciting racing without doubt.
I do like Mar's response when asked what he was going to buy Matil "Whatever she wants"
Fell asleep during the race
Musquin (25) knew he needed a good start in the third and final moto in order to give himself the best chance at winning the Monster Million, and boy did he get one.

Either way I'm a fan of Musquin.
When you can't clear a jump combo from the inside it makes things interesting.
On a side note, I think a 125 race on that track would have been awesome.
