I watched AC's crash about 10 times now and I can't really tell what he hurt. He's not carrying himself like it's a shoulder and his arms/hands seem okay. Wonder if he didn't hit his head.
I would suggest there's some internal damage.. Not saying it's anything drastic, but he was squashed into the jump by his bike

I root for Tomac and Webb both, so it was a both a great race to watch and a bummer. Personally, I think Tomac does well for a while (coming through the pack), but hits a brick wall of frustration and then mentally destructs. I think these tracks so far (tight, slick, hard to pass on, that require perfect timing, and that demand excellent throttle control) are just too much for him. He's a "rail the corners", full throttle, hard charger that thrives on fast tracks and narly conditions. Thats why he's a Daytona beast. Too many tracks like they've had, too many bad starts, so much difficulty moving up through the pack while getting further behind on points each week, have him self destructing, losing hope, and losing that fire where "beast mode" reside. That is what i believe is happening with Tomac. Just my thoughts based on my observations.
Coop Dog, on the other hand, is suited to it because his throttle control and race craft are both incredible. Similar guys in many ways, but opposites in the way they ride and approach a race. The Tomac fan in me just hopes Tomac finds his mojo, goes on a "beast mode" run of wins, and is back in the fight for the title over the next few races. The Webb fan in me is stoked, believing he's gonna wear Ken plum out, and getting another 450 sx title.
Now........enough about those two.
How about my jolly ole' english homeboy MAX ANSTIE!?!? Fresh off of an injury, first time ever in a 450 sx event, and fights off a legit, sx vet like Dean Wilson to get straight into the main from his heat race! I must say, i would have bet that IF Max got into the main, it would be through the LCQ. i thought it might be 2 or 3 races before even that happened. I was wrong as F and yet glad I was. He's a cool guy. I like seeing people like him do well.
Bummed for AC. Super good dude. Incredible talent. A bitter sweet night of sx.

That was a very awkward angle his upper/lower body was in on the impact. Hoping for good news.

Yeah very! Looked like he had a pretty serious case of the HUUUUNGH HUUUUNGH's as well (the noise you make when ya body is trying to get everything back into the shape it supposed to be)

Do Brit's always pronounce a word that ends in an A with an R. Like HondaR and FloridaR? I never noticed that before but heard it a few times tonight.
Diffey isn’t a Brit 😂

Please, Americans sound like eloquent rocket scientist compared to you Brits. You guys sound like you're chewing on some taffy after 15 beers...
Tomac and/or Anderson for 2020.....

I'm gonna assume you are good friends with Phil and are giving him a dig. If not, there's no call for your comment. My wife is British and her crooked choppers haven't slowed down her eating in the least. I joke, but cool yer jets bro.

This may have already been discussed and I haven’t seen it but why did they not change the track from last week? First time I believe that they have ever raced the same exact track.

I thought he was British. My bad. But no he does not say Honda OK. I never really noticed it much until last night. He says Hondar or Honder. He said Floridar, and the worst was Barcia. Now there is no way in hell Barcia is pronounced Barsher. I've heard others in the past say Americ er when refering to an American.
It was an honest question.

He is an aussie.
we pronounce things differently.. just because you pronounce it one way over there doesnt mean the way we say it is wrong hahaha its called accents. crazy that's how the world works 
worst debate for a word is how Americans pronounce Aluminium hahaha but ehh who cares. I kinda enjoy listening to how people pronounce different words.
Diffey is doing well. he actually follows the sports and has knowledge behind it from his personal life, I like the up beat bit faster talking. as an aussie myself its easier to understand.
beggers cant be choosers. just happy we have racing back.
