When it goes back to 22 minutes on a Saturday night for SX......

I’m feeling like he’s the guy that everyone is going to be chasing next year.

X2. And that he's just never been "the guy" in sx. Dungey handled him on the regular. Save for the massive 2 race size sample in 2017 everyone references like he was a lock, forgetting a series is 17 rounds. He only dominated the first race too with Dungey on him like a cheap suit the next one. He's always been better outdoors and mind blowing fast at times. Not so much indoors

He used to get owned by BamBam and Tomac...

Kenny has already displayed a level of toughness, resiliency, and will... that one would think it would be enough to satisfy even the harshest of critics. But if experience has taught us anything about sports, it's that there's always an even more demanding armchair warrior willing to chime in.

When Kenny is healthy and comfy, only a beast mode Tomac could hang with him. Will he ever be "healthy" again after his arm injuries? Maybe not, but I hope so. The skill is there, right now it's just what his body is allowing him to do.

Go back and look at races years back its unreal how often he reports coming in with a fever and feeling off even before his injuries. Which are over hyped as usual.

And yet, he races time and time again, returned from injury that for anybody else would be career-ending, and still continues to generally kick serious ass.

I just don't see any grounds to question his toughness. And even the fact that he is more communicative than other riders about any issues he is experiencing is not a fault, especially when he is wiping the floor with the vast majority of them.

This is about SX not outdoors. Sorry when has he ever been untouchable indoors?

Cry baby is prob a little extreme but he's starting to sound like Moose-can more and more to me. Always sn excuse. Bike setup, mystery illness, sun was in his eyes, dog ate his homework, etc. I notice him reference 2016 multiple times too. In the "how was your weekend" interviews he brought up 2016 again. Ya you were a killer that season. That was then this now, 2016 ain't coming back Kenny. Not to mention Tomac was coming off shoulder surgery too.

75 minutes on Saturday Outdoors or 22 minutes Indoors.

My guy is Tomac but man Roczen looks smooth fast on that bike.

I don’t think you can question the guys toughness but it’s also unfair to say that his injury would be career ending for anyone else because for one we don’t know and for two people have came back from worse injuries.

I don’t doubt that he is dealing with some form of an illness or whatever and that’s why we’ve seen rides like he had at WW or Southwick but races like this weekend aren’t too uncommon for him even back in his 250 days. On more than a couple occasions he got caught and passed late in the motos.

People always reference 2016 like he had been that dominant his entire career and no doubt he put an ass kicking on everyone that year but in my opinion that year was the exception, not the rule.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

There are only a handful of usernames that, for various reasons, I am quite familiar with on here. Yours is one of them and it's not because of the insight or entertainment value.

Kenny can be the fasted indoors or outdoors, post injury and he has proven that. The key is proving it consistently, and winning a championship. Post injuries he has yet to prove this even though the fact that he is racing is ridiculous. He is as tough as a two dollar steak. Guy is a stud and if he can win a championship it will be one of the greatest comeback stories in our sport.

You missed my point beautifully, perhaps I need to spell it out more to you.

It is really easy to criticise a top rider (who finished 2nd overall for fucks sake) from their own keyboard without knowing them personally or are an insider on their team as to why they didnt get the overall win. I get that keyboard warriors want their riders to win (although I dont think YZ133 is a KR supporter, although he may claim he is), but to type out condescending comments like "Untill he comes up with the 15,000th ailment,,tummy ache, fever, bike set up, excuse of his career." is fucking stupid. I mean why fucking bother saying that? Taking a dig perhaps at someone they dont like or hope Kenny reads it and doesnt mention ailments, tummy aches, fevers, bike set up, excuses of his career in any post race interviews? Just dumb.

It is a mx forum with different opinions. You just took a dig at him, do you know him? Or you just want to defend a rider that you dont know? Hmmm, double standards. Oh trust me i got your point.
