Official Supercross Thread

Yup. No fight after these take outs or crashes, just throws in the towel and settles for mid pack.

 

He just needs to survive stupid cross and get to the outdoors intact and healthy.

 

How do you guys feel about the "triple crown" races ? I for one don't care for it.

 

Me either. Further rewards the start in a sport that is 90%? about the start.

 

I’m not a huge fan, though I’m glad they’re doing it tonight since I’ll be there in person. Just more racing action to watch, I’m pumped!

 

I like it! It gives some a chance to shine with this type of racing format. I can't wait for tonight's races to begin!!! Track looks AWESOME!!!

 

Can’t wait for things to start…been a long time since I’ve been to a supercross race in person.

 

Enjoy!!! Looks Awesome!!! I'll be at the finale here in SLC.

 

I could see this format helping KR, lord knows he needs it right now !

 

Too bad he had no answer for Anderson and Stewart. They blew right by him.

Anderson is a hawk, we’ll see how he handles Tomac in races 2 and 3. Tomac looked pretty solid but Anderson was reigning him in near the end. Had it been a standard 15 minute main, there’s a good chance Anderson would have caught him.

 

If ET keeps geting consistent starts like last night there will be a #1 on his Yamaha next year !

 

Christian Craig is an absolute beast. The dude is untouchable. Sucks that Lawrence went down, he’s about the only guy who can even come close to hanging with Craig.

 

No doubt about Craig & Lawrence ! It's cool to see ET & JA doing so well on new teams this year.

 

Josh Hill out indefinitely. Cracked pelvis and dislocated hip in practice.

I'm thinking the People's Champ has seen his final day of professional racing.

 

I have a good friend that is pretty tight with the Hills. Bummer for Josh, my buddy says he is a good dude !

 

Craig was THE fastest rider on the track that night.

 

Minneapolis tomorrow night. Who do you have winning in both classes?

My fantasy picks are:

Tomac
Anderson
Ferrandis
Stewart
Sexton
WC = Webb

I think the 250 East class is stacked!!!
If Forkner can keep it together mentally and physically, he will be a title contender.

 

Bummed J Reynolds is out before it even began. Track was tight and technical this weekend.

 

Not a Sexton fan but I was gutted for him !!! Good ride for ET coming through the pack, glad to see some fight in him !

 

You can cheer for him tonight at Arlington ahead of tonight's Triple Crown!!

ET3 for the win!!

 

Put DANIEL back in the booth !
And I really don't care for the Triple Crown

 

Just get rid of Daniel...Triple Crown is Awesome!

 

Triple Crown is very anti-climatic. No reason for the top 3 in the 450 class to push or race each other in the 3rd "main" last night. And if you are going to call them "mains" shouldn't they get championship points for each. Daniel is very concise with his analysis, Todd just reminds me of Ralph a hype guy and Ricky can't follow the race when they're hyped up about something in the back of the pack.

 

Video coverage last night was awful, and RC is a pretty terrible commentator.

My boy Tomac getting it done, but it won’t surprise me if Anderson takes the red plate in the next few weeks. JA21 is just so fast. If it wasn’t for that stupid block pass on Stewart (which was completely unnecessary), he would have gone 1-1-1 on the night.

And what the heck is up with Lawrence? Dude was all over the place last night — two dumb falls in the corners, looking really sketch in the whoops, cross-jumping Forkner, etc. He did not look very stable.

As it stands right now, I don’t think there’s anybody in the 250E that can beat Craig.

 

Getting real sick of people comparing Lawrence to JS7. I find it funny how quickly people forget Bubba's speed. I've watched that human indoors and outdoors, and I tell you, JS7 has not been touched to date.

 

You are 100% correct ! JS was on a completely different speed level than anyone and everyone ! So much fun to watch

 

NOPE! JS7 was a MANIAC on a dirt bike and put together rhythms and features no one else would do. But he also ate shit a lot and very hard, and that's also the reason why he ended his career early.

 

ET3 for the win tomorrow night. King of Daytona!!! However JS21 might steal it.

Jett is a fool...

 

TOMAC!!! That was an awesome race! I was so nervous his bike was gonna give out after it started smoking. He was really smart about patiently reeling in Webb. That was sweet.

 

From the moment ET3 cleared the potential carnage of what is MS27 and JA21, I knew he would pass CW1 for #6!! MS27 should have been riding for the title chances, not throwing away his best career in SX for a return jab at JA21...
