There were threads during the SX season talking about how defeated Marvin looked and sounded during his post-race interviews. This is the first weekend that I’ve noticed the same for Ken. His confidence is gone, which is sad to see. Just an observation. much yw
I was thinking that just like the special #1 red plate for the champ in the previous season/ points leader, they should also have special plates for #2 and #3. This is a sport where the difference between the riders in the top 3 positions can be only fractions of a second per lap such that luck, as well as skill, can determine the winner. Sometimes the fastest guy doesn't always win is a scenario not uncommon in MX.

By the way.. the top 3 on the stand DO get a trophy every race anyway, so hard to follow your point. At the end of the day only 1 guy still wins the championship.. and only 1 guys holds the red plate. #2 could be green and #3 could be blue, or something like that. I think very consistent with the top 3 all getting to stand on the podium and would be useful for fans, too.
i mean SX and MX combined this season it happend a lot , must be a hard hit on the mental side .
I just don't get the whole setup thing. When u go 14 in one moto and 2 in the second one, to say the bike was basically not rideable.. Why do you change it so much when it already worked off fine in the beginning of the season? I've never ridden on a level myself, where the suspension setup would have make any impact, so I can't really judge. Just looks like a small weird excuse to me sometimes.

But then we wouldn’t have these cool abbreviations like MM25 or BB4. That would totally suck, right?
2019: Tomac, Roczen, Musquin, Anderson, Webb, Osborne, Barcia, Bogle, Baggett, Wilson, Plessinger. There’s a lot of Sx/MX titles sitting right there fighting for top 10s.
Kenny does not have some mysterious illness. He just gets tired more than Eli and MM. They are simply in better shape and I suspect it is because they work harder during the week.
Yes, Kenny does work hard training because if he did not he could never get the results he is getting but we know he does not work at the level of the Baker's Boys (he quit Aldon) and most likely Eli.
Kenny is letting this get to him mentally. You can see it in his face. The good thing with him is he has so much talent he can fix it and start winning almost when he wants to. He is very close.
And his 14th the other week was because of mindset, not suspension setup.
And we all know racers who go like a jackrabbit the first half of the race and then fade. That is nothing new at any level in our sport.
