As much as I hate to say it, that track favors Cooper Webb, and even Roczen. I can see Barcia going hard on that one, we may see a few racing incidents, so Jason Anderson better keep it in check since he’s on a 6 month probation. I like the technicality, tabletop early, and whoops mid track for the tighter smooth riders. Could see an underdog on this one as well.

Dude, you called it!
 
Cool to see Webb with the red plate.

Is Sexton cursed? Is he not happy on the Honda like Roczen? Will it not rain today so I can cut the grass?
 
The stadium whoops are typically 11-13 feet apart, they were 15 feet apart at Indy. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me knowing how fast they would turn to shit. Any thoughts on why they would do that?
Maybe they would be easier to jump through once it happened?
I got nuttun... :LOL:

Yeah, this will mix it up for sure.
Hard to say with Sexton, he is the fastest guy, usually the fastest guy will speak of how the bike is so good, and it likely is, aside from the front end not sticking as he had hoped on some falls, it looks very balanced. Who knows?
Could be he just pushed it too hard with no rut to stick in. I suspect he has too much going through his head while going hypersonic, as opposed to Eli who seems to know when to not go flat out to not throw away a race..
But then finished way back..
Coop seems to be between those 2 and is making it work at the moment, good on him!
 
RCM said at the beginning of 450 one that the relationship with Webb/KTM had soured and he was wondering about Sexton/HRC

There have been rumors of Sexton going to KTM for over half a year, but its all heresay at this point.
Honda will firmly be in the Lawrence camp come next year so he might well do it. He's too much of a talent for one of the big teams not to snag him. Honestly, with Eli looking at retiring soon Id be surprised if Star Yamaha didn't get him, but I haven't heard anything as such..
Once a team starts winning titles they will do everything in their power to stay on that train, and Sexton is definitely the next big thing.
Except that Jett will be on big bikes next year.. Oh, and I think in the Nationals this year if Im not mistaken

Staying up near the front, and consistent.




1) yes
2) Or, is he worried about a young Aussie climbing up his tailpipe?
3) It almost always rains if you're even remotely thinking about lawn work.

I put everything away. Grabbed a beer out of the garage fridge, sat down on the couch and it started raining. For once mother nature had good timing. Though we’re under tornado watch.

I have no idea
I know over the years at least a dozen of those guys have gotten food poisoning at different times. Its kinda weird really... A bunch of them at the old food court at the old Georgia Dome when it was still the place for sx. We had our suspicions about the rat on a stick from the Chinese vendor there... :LOL:
But I don't think that's what got Hampshire
 
Me too
From back when you could do a top end in the pits if you had to for 90 bucks total.. :LOL:
But I did come to love the strokers, they made everything much easier on the track, it just cost's a shit ton more money to keep em up.

Sooooo..
Detroit??
Should still be a tad soft, but not as bad as Indy..
We have some interesting things to factor in after last week, who do you guys think?
