I have a feeling Webb will bounce back tonight.. maybe because I was just watching Vid's that featured him while on the Yamaha.

Have to look at the virtual track layout to see what the changes are.
Webb and whoops have not always been the best. Where some of the others are really good in them.

Looking foward to a nice Saturday night of racing.

No code has to be inserted here.

Motocross Action Q results.

Surprised to see Ken down in 7th, but hey it is just qualifying.

Think I will stick with Webb as my pick for the winner.

So..

1. Webb
2. Tomac
3. Barcia
4. Roczen
5. Osbourne
6. Stewart
7. Ferrandis
8. AC
9. Musquin
10. Savatgy

Fun Night of racing.

Surprises in each class. The red plates in both classes impressed. Least amount of TV coverage for the leader ever!!.. in the 250 class.

Fun stuff with Jett / Nichols battle.
Jett has some attitude. :thumbup

Shake up in the 450’s. Freise back into that bad luck spot??
Bummer for Bam Bam, hope he is OK. Bad luck for Tomac too.

Lots of surprises. SX almost always delivers.

Frozen 3 peat ! Looks like he's on a roll. He looks super comfortable on the Honda. Good to see Webb back up on the box. I thought the race would be more entertaining when all the big guns got good starts. Regarding Frese, isn't this the 3rd time he didn't move over when getting lapped ?

250 race was fun to watch!
Bummer for Barcia, I had him pegged for a 4th.
Friese sure seems to get in the way a lot. I wish they had better footage of bambam's crash with him. I'm not sure who to blame yet! :laughing

Bam Bam lost a lot of points and had slipped back while Roczen extended his lead to 16 (points standing in OP).

Webb second, but starting to look really solid. Orlando should favor Tomac in my opinion. Bigger track should make his high speed skill more of a thing.

A lot of the 250 players on the side line. Sad to see Mossiman out last night.

Now we have to wait a week for a few in a row.
Kind of like normal :laughing

Just got to watch the races.

Mossiman... oh no! :facepalm Bummed. Thought we were going to lose Nichols too, that crash in the beginning of the race didn't look good. Problably the best ride, last to 3rd. :applause

How many of the top 250 riders out now? Nice to see to Jett back on the bike.

Congrats to Roczen. Don't know if Bam Bam could have pressured him anymore before making contact with Vince Freise, but we will never know. Thought Bam Bam had some good pace and certainly keeping Roczen honest.

Well not that muddy.

250 was fun but no real battles.
A couple of surprise leaders in the 450 made that fun.

Top boys still on top. Eli needs to eat some beans and get off the line close to the front. Hard to pass when everyone is close to the same speed. Plessinger seems to be getting it. Hope that continues.

I agree. Tomac needs Roczen or Webb to give him pointers on starts. He has too many bad ones. Roczen still looking good but Pooper really seems to be coming on the boil. Barcia is looking really good too. It's going to keep being exciting if the big guns keep trading wins.

Pretty impressed with Christian Craig getting a podium with the injured hand. Good move going into the break.

Went riding again, so didn't watch it all live. Biggest story was obviously Craig gutting it out for a 3rd behind Nichols with a wrist injured in the Heat Race. Seemed like Nichols was running the pace of Lawrence, but maybe just let him go later in the race as he isn't a title threat to him.

Thankfully we have two months for Craig to heal. Perhaps we will get Mossiman, Forkner, Hampshire, and Vohland back too? Other than Vohland, these injured guys and the three still standing really are the aliens of the 250 class across both the East and West in my opinion (exception being Cooper I suppose.) Who knows, the West might surprise me next weekend. :dunno

Can't remember a year in recent history where most if not all the top 250 guys raced once series East or West. As a fan, feel like I got robbed of what could have been an all time great 250 Championship battle.

Even if only one or two make it back for the final two races of the East, it could shake things up enough to make it a real battle between Nichols and Craig for the Championship race.

Maybe I'm spoiled or expectations too high, but the 450 race wasn't all that exciting as fan this round. Kinda like F1 where all the good racing happened in qualifying, and in SX, the Heats.

I'd really like to see a quality interview with AC to figure out what is going on with him. His outright speed is there as shown in qualifying, but he doesn't seem to be up there dicing where I'd expect him in the race. Lingering injury or fitness not there for some reason?

Looking forward to getting Sexton back eventually.

While Webb and Roczen were impressive to watch trading seconds back and forth by the lap, the best race within the race as a viewer was probably Osborne and Barcia. :thumbup

Webb's 2 for one pass had me smiling.

He was solid and is in the game. Tomac needs to "like Mad said" get some tips on the starts.

He no longer has a margin over the competition on lap times. I do expect to see him rock Daytona though.

Your Ferry boy had a rough night.

:laughing Still looking for video of what happened to Ferrandis. The broadcast just shot to him sitting down after an obvious crash.

Webbs racecraft is second to none. I knew Roczen was in trouble with Webb stalking him before the pass. If Kenny didnt check out, it would only be a matter of time before Webb would get past. Webb is the ultimate gamer. :thumbup

Thought from a post in another thread.

Where the fuuuuk has Suzuki gone???
Not a player in the game in either class.
As a Mark Barnett fan and former RM racer I sure would like to see them find something because right now they are getting their ass kicked. MotoGP champs and SX chumps.
