AC had stomach issues that weekend in Charlotte. They make fun of Phil saying you got beat by a man trying not to shit his pants. So to say we shouldn’t use AC has a mark in Glen Helen is a bit of a stretch. But who cares 2016 was a lost season for AC.
Tomac at Glen Helen was insane though, his best race of 2016 he was taking around 5 seconds a lap out of Gajser while catching him on a completely normal track. I can’t think of another time when someone has done that to a healthy Gajser. And I’m am a Gajser fan. 4 > 2
A lot of Brits will latch on to any non American they can . They certainly don't have their own horse in the race .
Winter injury leading into the season, couldn't test to decide which bike to ride, multiple small injuries through the year, couldn't train as he wanted, raised several times publicly he got tired, started using the season to develop towards 2017, making a decision about whether to ride the 350 or 450 the Monday before the GP, testing parts, and so on. AC was far from his best at the 2016 race at Glen Helen, the same as the whole of that season.
To be honest, following dropping down to the 250 at the 2014 MXdN and crashing, I don't think we ever saw Cairoli return to his peak. He still had fire, was still blazingly fast and consistent at times but seems fragile, always picking up little injury, spent less time grinding in Lommel and more time in Italy around Malagrotta, distractions with rally (which DV mentioned), etc.
Alas, Tomac still smashed him and the rest of the GP guys there, that is undeniable!
... a lot of Brits couldn't name a motocross racer. I'm not sure we'll ever have a horse again, the sport is dieing here.

The bullit signature pretty awesome 😎
You’re not wrong there. Mewes is finished as a full GP rider now. I still say after he went 1-1 at the 1st EMX250 round in 2016 the team pushed him up to MX2, it finished his career. His results were super inconsistent after that.
I also tought KTM wasn’t going to be happy with it, and if it’s smart I don’t know either. In his situation. But knowing him, all he wants to do is race! Any place any where
If top GP riders got paid like top AMA riders, maybe we’d see it more often 🤷🏼♂️
Supermotocross? Maybe would be something
