There beat races are amazing! Dungey is just awesome! Air shock failed at the start of the heat. Now in LCQ and comes in second after being in 12th because he got caught up in the pile up. Speaking of the pile up, that's about the biggest I've seen!
So Dungey wrapped up the main in 1st with a 6 second lead. Before the LCQ they went back to a traditional shock. It really makes you wonder how the air suspension is doing. It was great to see him win and I hope he can hang onto it. The real battle was Millsaps and Stewart. Some great passes back and fourth. Overall Barcia took Stewart though for 3rd. I have to say, Stewart looked great. He wasn't risking anything but still really competitive. During an interview he had mentioned that he is just fortunate to have a ride and to still be there. I wonder if he's finally growing up? Seriously, what a wild season. I normally watch the races but its more to get my motorcycle fix. This year it really is worth watching.
What a barnburner!! Congrats to Dunge he cleared his head and crushed the main. Everyone was there, so silence to the asterisk crew! That airshock is gimicky garbage, it's not a mountainbike. That was the most embarassing mechanical failure in recent history!! Shocks and forks need springs to be reliable!
Millsaps and TC41 are hanging! ... RD5 has had a crap bike I think and it has been slowing him down ... Maybe that air contraception has been his issue! I gotta see the race before I say more ... Yep, I'd agree js7 is lucky to have ride after all the BS he has caused the last few yrs ... That's why he had to keep riding with that busted up knee this year ... The air shock got tossed? I hope it did not hit anyone and cause more damage ... Next will be those forks ...
Actually ray-ray, Milsaps was on an air fork for the first time at A3 and his bike STILL looked to handle better than anything out there .... maybe it's the rider Reed got tangled up again in turn 1 or 2 but I didn't see the replay ... Grant ran into him in Oakland but not sure who ran into him at A3 (if anyone). Dungey's bike shock just totally deflating at the start line of his heat was one of the weirdest and most embarassing things I've seen ... DeCoster manned up and talked about it. Huge props to Short for high finishes in the last 2 weeks on a "showroom" bike (I'm sure it's not ... but he can't have any where near the equipment Reed and Barcia are on.)
Its the rider for sure and that bike is NOT hampering him any ... Milsaps is shaping up to be the man RV2 is gonna have to catch ...There's riding in a race and racing ... This guy is racing ... -- So RD5 developed the low-rider effect in the gate? wowo ...I guess better there than at turn 1 or off some triple ... -- AS29 is a very good rider and racer ... He's my pick to get on a Husky some day ...He's proven the last few yrs with the bike swapping he can adapt and ride different bikes ... Instant CRED for the bikes and a fan base all in one .. But he's got to do the top 10 finishes as it his niche spot and the world will stay in sync ... -- and they know AS over there also ...
Kind of hard not to like a kid that can have a busted shifter, get big air, shift with his hand while in the air and still make podium. AND, remainds humble througout the whole thing!!!
