Dungey is just Dungey
Split whoop sections are just plain dumb
KRoc is lucky to still be in the series
The only thing stopping Tomac winning is Tomac.
Never bet against the 22
Peick is worth every penny they are paying Barcia.

I'd say that's accurate. Still can't believe Peick is so good compared to just a few years ago. He just keeps going. Never thought I'd say it, but how can you doubt that he might get better yet and consistently be a podium guy battling for a win here and there.

You forgot this:

Canard is just Canard
Musquin is not Webb
Seely is a strong top 5 guy.

Davi Millsaps looks like he's hurt or extremely displeased with his current situation..... either way he's not aggressive whatsoever, and looks to be coasting a lot.

Peick remembers where he came from. How many times did GL8 say on the outdoors that Peick and his dad would come in his store to buy their race parts. Peick was not in a Honda commercial for that crf150r at age 11 and sure as heck did not know if he'd ever get a 'factory' ride. Nice to see good things happen to good people.

Of course, my house doesn't have a roof on it now from CR22 winning last night. He's my favorite. Kinda has 2011 style season going except he doesn't have a chance at the title. But in 2011, he didn't win til San Diego then, was very consistent the rest of the year. CR might be a dark horse at Daytona too...

Great job last night CR22/WP23

It is great to see Peick doing so well. He's a tough kid. He has earned his opportunity and I making the best of it. Even when he injuries, he is still out there most weeks.

I really thought that Peick was going to make a run on Reed after he got to second and gapped them a little, but even so, JGR must be looking at what they pay Barcia and asking why. Even Nicoletti looks money well spent.

Millsaps is riding like a guy who knows he is gonna retire next year no matter what.

And filthy Phil Nicoletti is proving he shouldn't be a fill-in guy.

What else I learned, on shitty track like that, with all those shitty jumps, you are spending so much time in the air, you really
can't make up much time, one of the top guys will win with a great start & no major mistakes, just pick a name, it could of been
Seely, could of been Bagget, congrats go out to Reed, thought he would never win again, can't seem to get a top 5 anymore
on our outdoor supercross series. But Reed earned the win with that great start.

wait a minute, that's what supercross is

I guess I watch because my hatred of basketball will go down in infamy.

1.Really impressed with Peick, it leaves Barcia with no excuses with the bike too.

2. Really surprised with the amount of mistakes Roczen is making. Ever since he cased that triple he hasn't been the same and forcing the issue.

3. Chad Reed is a legend.

4. Dungey is the man to beat for this series now, the smartest and now as fast as anyone too.

5. Canard needs better starts, but he's flying!

6. Tomac needs to calm down and stay on.

Peick is the feel good story proving that hard work can translate into results. He was what a 20 place guy just a few years ago. Just a normal privateer that you thought would never amount to much and then bam dude gets speed out of nowhere. Freaking awesome.

I get a sense that you are trying to downplay Reed's win a bit. Going to have to disagree that Baggett would have won if in Reed's position last night. Baggett has been riding great, but NO FREAKING WAY. Maybe Seely could have, but doubtful.

Peick is living up to the super human rumors.

Soon as Roczen announced him and Baker were not together the wheels came off, weird.

Get a good start and win seems to be the way it goes not overly exciting.

Both of those guys (Peick & Nicoletti) are money in the bank for Coy & the JGR team if they can hold onto them next year. They are both top-fivers waiting to happen.

That's a great line! Woohoo

I like the split rythmn sections--it's cool to see different options instead of follow the leader.

Maybe during practice or qualifying if they see one section that is obviously faster they can somehow put a larger obstacle to slow the faster section down to equal them out.

The fact that reed upped his pace considerable from the heat to the main is nothing shy of amazing

Whatever gamble RCH made to pay roczen so much is not looking as good as it did a month ago.

And the gamble they made on keeping Broc Tickle is paying off nicely!

We also learned that moving to the 450 class means your going to hit the dirt multiple times a season unless your last name is Dungey. The 450 supercross class is a recipe for injuries and ass kickings.

Peick is the modern day Junkyard Dog (John Dowd for the younger crowd). Started late and built up some impressive speed in his later years. And adapted to SX in the 125 class.

That gamble gave them a title........ No asterisk either

That gamble could bring back the points as quickly as they were lost
