That was a month ago bud. Try to keep up.

PS.. I was being a dick at the time and Id like to apologize to the OP for that.

Also, I can’t wait to see more of that blue #7. Here’s to hoping Plessinger has a great season!

Interesting... AStars boots and helmet with Thor gear?
Parts Unlimited/Thor/Alpinestars

Thor no longer makes a high end helmet. Don't think he'll be switching to Astars gear either. Gear set he has on already has the sponsors logos on it. I know it doesn't really mean anything but I think there's a high likelihood that's his final gear deal setup.

Was hoping him to race SeVen gear with #7. Nice to see #7 back.

I have to say, it's nice to see the number 7 back. Even though James is gone. I hope he does something with Seven before A1 and confirms his retirement.

I assume that everyone understands that James is retired.

What's the deal with D'Cor and the horrible choice of numbers? I realize this isn't the greatest angle but that #7 looks like it was put on with electrical tape... Obviously no one was a fan of the original 5 they put on Tomac's MXDN bike. Seems like somebody over there needs to step it up a bit.

Not sure about 19, but Factory Effex did factory Yamaha's graphics.
My mistake, D’Cor did Star racing’s stuff in 18 and I thought they did the factory team as well because they looked so similar. Either way not a fan so far.

I think he's in favor of the run what you earn system which is also not difficult to figure out.

It would make a lot more sense to us all if MC was on a Honda and Villopoto was on a Kawi

Yes, there was panic all over Vital when Baggett took 4.

Instagram is full of hatred and anger towards Plessinger for taking 'a retired number'. So many idiots commenting at once you can't even bother replying, just gotta let them be.

This year finally the classes have evened out. The last couple years the 250s were clogged up and overly stacked past the top 10 vs the 450s where you quickly got into the vince frieses before 10th place. Now with Osborne, Savatgy, Plessinger, thats 3 more very fast top tier 250 riders who have finally moved up. Now we rightfully have the Forkners, AC, Ferrandis... making up the 250’s. The last one who needs to move up is Jmart and all will be right in the moto universe. The rule change has finally worked. The 450 class is now stacked. Eli, Anderson, Marvin, Roczen, Barcia is one of the fastest top 5 in sx history. Then Osborne, Savatgy, AP, Webb, and Bogle if he gets a ride or a multitude of other people like Reed, Millsaps, Mookie....etc to round out that 10th spot. Thats 10 guys that can potentially get a win with a good start and a bad start by Eli. Think about this top 10 thats definitely the fastest top 10 ever and one of the best few top 5s. Come on Jmart your the last one then all is right. Im going to love seeing this.

RC didn’t race SX in ‘04, and it would be a stretch to say that MC was a top 5 rider by that stage in his career.

But I generally agree. Any of the years ‘04-‘07, and then a few years around 2011-2014 when you had Reed, Stewart, Villopoto, Dungey etc. Then probably a bunch of years through the mid to late ‘80’s.

Ha! One title and a bunch of race wins between them, hardly an all time top 5.

Collectively they’ve got a few more overalls than say Reed or RV and less than RC, Stewart or MC.

Perhaps one of the most closely matched SX top fives, but nowhere near the fastest.
