i believe it has to do with the fact they both have had babies recently. i cant blame them that they might be worried about not being able to provide for their families if they get hurt. if this is the case case i respect them both for that decision.

They should have 3 months emergency salary saved, according to Dave Ramsey, so as not to stress about money.

3 mo for a 2 income household, 6 months for a single income household. I don’t think either of their wife’s work 😂😂😂

Good point...no wonder paying the rent is distracting them both. Laughing

This is by far the best season Roczen has ever had.

I don't know if we'll see Elito and Kenro in the main, but from the heat lap times it seems like Eli and Ken have shown up.

With Kenny, I’m wondering if he peaked too early this season like he had in the past. Maybe not, but it sure doesn’t seem like the same Kenny from the first half of the season.

Tomac was really good until he spun out of that corner. I think he knew he couldn’t push hard enough to catch Coop without going over the edge.

This is so typical of Kenny the past few years, unfortunately. Peak early, then lose the edge. That said, this is still actually an awesome season for him so far.

Tomac is strangely timid to pass this season, which, as a typically shitty starter, is destroying him.

I think the 3 weeks break between Arlington 3 and Atlanta will help Kenny a lot. Webb looks insane right now but it's not over yet.

Kenny’s whole deal is starting fast. Whether it be early in the season or early in the race. I’ve always looked at him as the elite talent of this generation but he’s overcome a lot. His growth as a racer was stunted

Eli is just at a point where he’s been fucking grinding for a long time. And he finally won the prize last year. He is just emotionally drained I think from racing. There is a chance losing a couple titles will re motivate him but I understand if it doesn’t.

I wouldn't lump ken in this topic, the guy is lucky to have an arm.

Tomac is tomac but hes done everything in America in this sport, I think he's just over it which is understandable.

But yes these two riders are faster than Webb, but webb has the most important attribute of any sport, mental strength.

False, they make too much money. They have to keep racing to pay those bills.

I don't think they have slowed. It is more a case of Webb going faster than early in the year.

They probably didn't get squat based on income.

Considering who the OP is, I guess I can't really say that this thread had to be posted by a member of the kinder, gentler ... umm ... wussier generation. But, man, what would Hannah say?

I think they both have 3 months of my salary in their couch cushions.

How can a second or third in ama pro sx 450 class not be performing up to talent. Cant all cross the line in first, not even in Ford vs Ferrari, but all 3 have had at least a win this year. I'd like to see each night's win go to a different rider but Webb is just ahead of them on speed right now.

On average I think KR and ET have a bit more speed than Webb, but it's not a big margin. Webb has the strongest mental game of the three, good starts and tracks that are had to pass on going for him.

Kenny can't hold on, and Eli got DNF'ed too many times by his team, so he just doesn't have the drive he used to.... leaving the door wide open for Lil' Deuce, Bam-Bam, etc......
