Sure seem they've been just as aggressive in organizing talent, as they seem to be in development of the bike. Makes sense, tho. Gotta be an incredible leap of faith for a rider.
 
Looks like Hampshire is out this weekend. He got slammed pretty bad at Unadilla.
 
75-80 degrees at Budds Creek, full sunny day!
Got some new blood in the 250's, they were putting in good qualifying times.
I love this track, awesome traction, normally has good line options, gets rough as a cob in the downhill sections. I watched Carmichaels last Pro race here, the only time he actually ran the number 1 plate on his Suzuki 450. The roar of the crowd followed him around the track like a thunderstorm while he did his sight lap before the race. He was a frikking gladiator! :LOL:

Happy for AP7.

If Sexton ever figures out his mental block…

Yeah, good for AP7! Hope he can carry that into next week.

Is it all mental with Sexton now, or just not in the same speed/league?
 
Great race, nice to see Jett have to actually go to work this time. Anderson has made some good headway getting back to form, Good to see AP7 up there. Track was pretty slick in some sections. Watching that downhill triple to the outside line standing up pinned was awesome.
Ironman is next week, what a badass track that one is!
Hard to say with sexton, I do think Jett is in his head but he has to see the reality that Jett seems to be a notch up from everyone at the moment.. Well, all year I guess... What a tuff spot to be in. He had to be thinking with Eli out he was gonna be the man.
Maybe they can push Jett wide off the gate and make Ironman interesting too. :LOL:
 
Ironman!!
Jett gonna have a perfect season?
He got into the 1:46's one lap in qualifying, Sextons in the 1:47's consistently...
Might have a good race, this track is awesome :cheers:
 
Inside line into the whoops is treacherous
At least 4 of them will have to change underwear when they come in ...
I hope they don't fix that before the mains :LOL:
 
I think Jett does it.

Heard a comment from Weigandt wrt the US MXdN team not being announced this weekend, ...one factor is Sexton is changing teams. Didn't say to which or who, but still. I haven't seen an official announcement.
 
Gotta say, I’m pulling for Jett.

also, looking forward to sexton @ ktm.
 
H Lawrence and Cooper to the 450’s next year.

Sexton to KTM to replace Webb, most likely. Ferrandis has announced he’s racing next year, but Star will most likely want Cooper with Tomac. Lawrence obviously stays at HRC.
 
Congrats to the Lawrence brothers, you gotta give them props for getting it done in rare fashion (y)
Jett will get better before he gets worse unless injuries take him down
 
Completely forgot to congratulate my 250 guy, Shimoda!

Joe riding red next year.

Thats a little weird Coop would want to be called back to ride the biggest outdoor race on the planet when he's more of an SX rider and is in limbo between rides.. If they did call back and he dosent deliver it certainly would not help his current scenario... Weird
AP7 was consistently faster outdoors if I remember right. I wonder what the big conundrum is?
You take the best available 3 guys and send it!

Good on Joe!
HRC is a pressure cooker for sure, I think a lot of the pressure next year will be on the Lawrence brothers. They seem to go slightly easier on first year 250 riders.
