Did anyone else notice tomac in the corner after the small rhythm section and whoops. (Same corner roczen passed Webb) He was Hitting the inside and standing on the pegs all the way through, it was a beautiful site to watch. I had to re watch it a few times.

By the way I’m a roczen fan and want him to Somehow pull this title off.

Ken did that almost every time they showed it as well. That inside rut gave them perfect support for that move. A few of the other guys were doing it as well. Was a very cool move. Looked like they were riding a roller coaster. I had to rewind it the first time I saw it as well.

On one of the laps they showed Kenny it was beautiful. From the angle they showed it looked like he jumped right into that inside rut settled in, kept his feet on the pegs and just ripped around the corner. Definitely poetry in motion.

His pass on CW1 in that corner was beautiful. Watching Craig, and a few others manual the whoops after that corner was sweet too. Riding my entire life, it's the little things like that that you notice and are so humbling.

Good job WCRider. Tomac was doing it standing up which was awesome. Roczen did it sitting down so it wasn't as obvious. He did a few different corners sitting down with his feet on the pegs.

Pegs or not, I'm a fan of this shot. It's one thing to try that on a practice day but that's some commitment in a race.

Was gorgeous! You know when it looks fast on tv that it would be jaw dropping to see in real life

I still like around the 14:23 to go mark when Eli passes Zach.....

RC- That Zach Arseborne will race you hard. 😂😂

I was wondering how many noticed Eli standing up in that corner....so awesome. Immediately made me think about how Stefan Everts would rarely sit down. Just a level above when it comes to technique (although Roczen is as pure as they come as well).

Best cornering display I have seen, for a pass too, was KRoc at high point, I think last year. It was amazing and so fast!!

Love watching Tomac - perfect blend of power and finesse. He forces the bike to do what he wants.

Glad I don’t pay for his clutches and tires though.

Literally baffled by how he rides a 450 like a mountain bike, it’s so fun to watch.
