Not bad race. Would have been nice to see Jeff Alessi beat Mike in the heat race. He should have parked him when he had the chance...lol
It was a great opener! Took forever to get out of the parking lot. They anounced last night that it woulld be replayed on Speed HD at 12:30 PST
The thing I remember the most was the Lites Rider (2nd heat race) that crashed on the first table of the Rhythm section standing up slowly, distantly and then kind of taking a few moments to get his wits back about him and he never really did... just kind of slowly walked to his bike clearing the cobwebs..... some epic crashes in that 2nd lites heat race... That section had to have been the toughest for everyone... even Reed was really working it hard to make that section work... no spoilers for anyone that hasn't seen it yet...
Its a slow but changing of the guard here ... Next week will be even better ... The gloves will come off everyone ...
I like what one announcer/analyst said about strategy..."simple, just go faster than James Stewart". He's still got it...if there was any doubt.
I was sitting midway of the rhythm section and i forgot how many riders in practice blew thru the burm at the end. Ya Husky T that guy got his bell rung for sure. It`s going to be an exciting year.
wow ... Nice racing and I'd like to have a $ every time that announcer said 'stewart' ... Was he aware that rc whipped him in MX and SX on a regular basis?
loooooved when RC showed up for a cameo race. stewart rode over his head trying to stay on pace. RC could cruise it and make stewart stack. pretty hillairious. stewart is wicked fast on an SX track. but, he lacks focus, knowing when to back off and lets his ego set the pace. he's plenty fast enough, just needs to wise up. how bout The Man working fer KTM now???!!! and them nike boots that look like sneakers? what's next? sideways ball caps with ironed-flat brims and baggy pants? oh- right. nevermind.
