Colton is never fast in practice. He's always been that way. He'll step it up in qualifying.

What pressure? Homesoil, homecrowd, no jetlag.... Ahhh, you mean all vitards that might have overrated him, and who he shouldn't be letting down?

Has Tomac been 2 seconds off Roczen all year? I'm thinking they forgot his outdoor suspenders at the kawi shop. HuhWhistling

Interesting that Cairoli's very first lap on a track he's never ridden was only 4 seconds slower than his best lap.

Remember this session means Sweet FA. US riders will be safe in the knowledge they have a great gate pic too.

I'm pretty sure you're right, but that's something we never have to say about Herlings. He's gonna be up at the top of the chart every session, no matter what it is, whether there's anything at stake or not.

Lets have a look:
K-Roc is 3.5 Sec. slower than Herlings.
Usually Tomac is about 1 Sec faster than Kenny. Sometimes the same or even a bit slower.
If Tomac would/could ride like the real Tomac and be 1. Sec faster than Kenny its still 2.5 Sec to Herlings.
On Hometrack.
I´m not saying that the US is so much slower than Europe... but you have to admit Herlings and Cairoli are very fast.
Also the 3. Sec gap to Desalle isn´t anusual
who knows...

Either Eli has frozen up under the pressure or he is back in the pits making ALOT of adjustments on the 2019 KX 450. If Roczen and Barcia are faster than him it will be because one or two of the above statements. Hopefully, he will be himself for the qualifier

Motocross math doesn't work, wait until the race. Tomac will be on pace. I'm a Herlings fan first but certainly not counting out Tomac.
