What was your biggest surprise from A1?

1/7/2019 10:57am
I’m always a bit ambivalent about A1 since the riders and teams are sort of feeling things out. However, as far as positives and negatives, I’d say Barcia, Wilson, and Webb were positives. Anderson was a negative, and I though AC wold do a bit better in the lites class.

Deano- I wasn't surprised that he holeshot, but was really shocked how long he held the lead. Man, I wanted him to win and Malcolm second- that would have made a great story. But 4th is still really good.

What surprises me the most is the bundle of sticks complaining seems to have thinned out considerably. The whole thing kicked ass, and the next race can't come soon enough.

I think it was Webb for me. I was at the race, and when the scoreboard showed Webb finishing 5th, I legitimately thought it was a scoring error.

How about Colt Nichols making the 250 win look really easy? I was surprised how well he made it look like a walk in the park.

Roczen's speed surprised me because he didn't look super comfortable pushing it during the Nationals. Barcia's speed at the end of the main was surprising. I kept thinking he might get caught, but he held on for the W.

My biggest surprise was the lack of Monster girls shown on TV. WHERE DID THEY GO?!?!?!?!

In all seriousness, I didn't watch it on TV yet. But I was surprised at the freakin cajones these guys had hitting everything when it was muddy. Especially that double-double. That was really impressive.

I didn’t think it ever rained in Southern California. I’m surprised anyone had umbrellas.
