Since the Vitards on here fried my last idea of Friday digest because they don't work all day I will now post any day whatever is worth a discussion:
1) Its really time to put Eli in the same discussion as RV, JS, RC, JH, AC in all time raw speed, he will not be touched this year if he stays up.
2) Kawi Fill-in - Perfect timing for JS7 imo he should be signed to finish off his career where he started until Grant is ready. (Kawi doesn't have the balls to put ET and JS on the same truck but could you imagine the exposure compared to Bowers)
3) I don't think this 450 championship is over by any means based off of Andersons past. Looks like this year might force the chase format as it would be perfect for these type situations with injuries so early on. The fastest rider should win the championship, kills the sport when a guy gets 40 pts on 2nd because the sport itself is dangerous, you shouldn't have to lose a title because of weekly injuries and a 2nd chance idea would be entertaining all year.
Thoughts on Hills finished this weekend? (I see 5-9 range)
Rant away and enjoy work, Black Panther was dope btw

Just say no, to a chase format!
Who's excited for MXGPs?
The Shop
i like to think thats plausible
2. He’s retired. Not racing ever again. Get used to it.
3. Anderson is a lot more consistent than he’s made out to be. 11 consecutive top 5 finishes. Chase format is stupid.
I think you alluded to the actual core issue here, it’s that all the talent is spread too thin.
If it was just one world championship, you’d still have all the Europeans in the field keeping interest alive.
I can honestly say the most exciting seasons in my memory were 2010 when Villo was catching Dungey then broke his leg. Last season for sure. Was it 2005 or 2006 when Chad/James/Ricky entered Vegas separated by only a few points?
I guess we need that Professional Wrestling type scenario where there is a good guy and a Villain. Maybe El Hombre will get some points taken away for fuel or fighting this weekend. Tighten everything up, Eli will go on a rampage and make things tight at the end but JA21 brings it home. We need a Rick Flair and a Dusty Rhodes.
2. why would any team put a rider who hasnt been racing as a fill-in???
3. I agree to disagree there, Anderson has shown great patience this year as well as being smoking fast. I cant see him throwing it away....he definitely seems like a more mature rider this year.
Hill - 10-12th place
Pit Row
2) more of a logical decision imo for kawi you get a guy whos most popular in the sport and finishing where he started good PR for kawi. I meant just a phone call to see if hes up for it because he has that much power
3) See he has shown what you said, but hes also been very close and very lucky this year to not have a bad one, and I think hes due for one
Hill looks very fast at the test track almost smoother than mookie I disagree there, he wants to prove a point hes made for 2 years
I don't think a chase would hurt the sport but better it because every week will keep you glued to the tv and later provide better racing, because they are going for it all once it gets reset. Ever notice the first 4 weeks of the season are nuts then it dies down? its because the field seperates, riders get hurt, championship is mostly clear.
But use those first 8 rounds to qualify for a chase at the end, now we are talking drama, entertainment, good racing every year all season.
Its time we evolve as a sport and let the past go, if we want to grow this is the answer.
Also, don't listen to rider opinions, they don't want more stress, more risk. They want their contract money and to be safe, which is why the triple crown was shut down by them.
A chase is for the fans, not benefit to anyone else and we need it sooner than later or were fucked
As far as the "chase" bs, let anderson have a bad race or two and he will be the one trying to slow down Eli at Vegas for the championship and there will be no lack of drama
I tkink now he is better in SX and u can forget a 24-0 from ET, It will never happen.
His powerful style riding doesn't work good in the mud.
Js7 is retired. Hes not signing a deal.
No chase format. Thats retarded.
Of course anderson is gonna make mistakes.
Bowers....man, I would so much rather see Kawi bring AC up for some east coast races....we better bang for your buck than Bowers.
