That track and many of the tracks in SX this year have sucked. NOTHING to separate anyone. You have like the top 3 or 4, then from 5 to 17th, that are all basically running the exact same lap times. Nothing on the tracks to separate them. So it is all in the start basically. And let me also say, that this is the MOST stacked SX field that there has been in 15 years.
AP7 is 10th in points. Sitting ahead of AC, Baggett and Osborne. The only two not on a factory bike ahead of him are Hill and Stewart. And put those two outdoors, and AP7 smokes them in a rough 30 minute moto.
Give the kid a break. He moved to the 450. Had major issues getting the bike set up, and then had two or three injuries. AP7 will be fine.
If he had gone to a team like KTM or Kawasaki I think he would have gotten more help on bike set up. Yamaha doesn't seem to have the database of set up information or the steadily successful bike development. Chad Reed even stated that about Yamaha with Webb's faliure.
I think injury, poor development , luck, the lack of a database and no veteran testing or mentoring is reflected in the performance of both Yamaha riders.
The talent is clearly there. Yamaha is unable to successfully produce all the required ingredients to win a championship in the 450 class.
Look at KTM and Kawasaki and all of the championship knowledge they have acumulated.look at the personel and team they have pu together. Honda has been rebuilding their team for several years and has really only showed success starting last year.

I think his biggest mistake was moving up too early. It is tough to turn that money down but he really only broke out in the 2018 season and could have been helped by another year of seasoning. In that I think his agent let him down by not encouraging him to stay back another year. No guarantee that he wins 2 more titles in the 250 class but he would have been one of three at the sharp edge of the spear. Being elite in your class can only help you as you move up to the next class.
AP7 is a great racer but he is not a generational talent that can have a cup of coffee in the 250 class and then be a contender right away in the 450 class. The real danger for him is that he gets destroyed mentally and doesn't ever get that confidence back. His loose and freewheeling attitude may be the best thing to combat that for him. The only question is if he loses his factory ride will he decide that he'd rather be a big fish in the smaller GNCC pond than be a small fish in the big pond of 450 Pro Motocross/Supercross.
What the hell is wrong with you guys ripping him apart on here???? Seriously, how shitty is your life that you feel compelled to come on here and light up Plessinger?
When I read shit like this it seriously puts a dent in my hope for humanity....
Might as well put Plessinger and Barcia on the 250 in the 450 class they would probably get better results.

AP7 isn't going anywhere, but up.
