Good grief, RC can't even figure out that Marvin and Cooper's times are from session 1 here. Why do they pay him money for this??

Once again the 250's are faster so far.
Why is that...short tracks just easier for less powerful bikes to flow on?

Wish Ben Lamay would get a shot on HEP Suzuki or Motoconcepts Honda. Dude is just rock solid year after year. Would be really cool to see what he could do with a bump in equipment!

Same here, not big on him, but he's shown flashes of brilliance.

Can't see PC Kawi letting AC get away if he wins the west, been a loooong time since a rider wore the number 1 in SX for Mitch. Also can't see Kawi getting rid of Savagty after his performances so far. Could see AC taking Seely's spot at Honda if he's not defending the West next year, especially since he and Roczen are so close and already train together!

Wow six races, 6 different riders got fast qualifying times. Doubt that has happened in any past seasons.

Pretty cool that different names are mixing things up, and Savatgy looked really fast. Would love to see yet another different winner tonight.

Pretty sure Johnny O said something along those lines. When he first went to Europe, that SX wasn’t his thing.

Look at Freezie!
You have to say, how the hell can he be top Honda qualifier.

He has ( as far as i know) never had a factory ride in 250 or 450, never had a win, and yet here he is at the sharp end of 450 SX, on merit. He was running great in the race where Mookie crashed, and has been solid for MCR since he has been there.

When you think how many riders have come and gone since Freise started in SX who were going to be something , and never were, it makes you think how many others there are that could have been solid performers in the big class but never got there , because they peaked early and ended up dropping down.

I hope he gets a result, because its overdue.

I never liked his MO , but you have to say he is delivering as a rider
