Anyone following supercross?

Sometimes his speed is amazing. I don't think anyone else on the track can match his laptimes when he's on it.

I still say Ricky was stronger mentally. We’ve seen Eli fall apart a few times when things aren’t going his way. I don’t remember that from Ricky, of course he’d just get mad, ride over his head and maybe win or maybe crash so kinda the same thing. Wouldn’t you love to see Eli and Ricky go head to head when they’re both in their prime?

 

[Backwoods]

Yea I would and throw villopotto in there with them. That would be a race

Mud fest today. Typical Dilla.

Yep, I have never seen anyone that fast either. He a big strong guy too.If he could pull holeshots we wouldn't even see him. The guy can fall down and have a sandwich and still pass to be in front.
Another thing about Eli is he is going to make a good commentator when he ritires.
But From what I watch I think Roczen and a few others are going to get him indoors

Finally got to watch. Eli did not disappoint. I think he has the championship in the bag barring a major hiccup.

Moto 1 was awesome. I thought when Eli’s roll offs broke he was screwed. Kawi guys did an excellent pit for him.

Moto 2 I think he was not going to try to battle Marv in that mud. Too risky for the championship. I will admit Marv was riding good in moto 2 but I just don’t think Eli was actually trying to catch him either

I agree and I think we have a really good motocross of nations team this year with Eli Barcia plessinger this year I think team USA has a good chance.Also heard them say Frenchy did not get asked to be on team France I guess he has burned some bridges or they did not want him taking people out on his way to the front.

Has been hard to comment on races due hacked up work schedule like yesterday's 22 hour fix when some idiot took out a 115 kv line .I am tired

I think Roczen is more than capable and will be ready but so is Eli I think it will make a great heated season and the monster cup will be a sneak preview. I think Marvin has peaked and what you see is all he's got he is what 28 now .

I agree with comment on Marvin. As far as he's gonna get. Kinda like Webb. What a disappointment he is. Wonder what team is gonna pick him up next year?

I agree with you guys on Marv. I don’t see a SX title for him. If anything I would have said he might get an outdoor title, and I guess technically he still can. But there’s no doubt as long as Eli is out there Marv is the number 2 guy. You could tell he’s pissed that he’s not on team France, which did surprise me.

@Delton you think Webb is done? Isn’t he still pretty young? Honestly I don’t see him as a future champion but he’s still in his big boy class transitional period I thought

Not necessarily done. Maybe has a win or two in store but nowhere near where he was expected .This guy was a madman in 250 class clearly stomping everybody. Then nothing. He may be one of those riders that has to find the right ride. I despised his smartass ways in 250 class

 

[Delton]

Nations is on US soil this year isn't it? If so, we gonna represent!!

Kind of like Mike alessi almost. An ok rider surrounded by hype that got a bad attitude because everyone told him he was the next big thing. Just didn't quite have the skills to run in the premier class. I used to love to watch Alessi get a hole shot then slide back to tenth place within a lap or so.

 

[Backwoods]

I. Don't like Webb's attitude either. I think the 450 at this point is to much for him. The motocross of nations is oct.7 .

Alessi is the all time holeshot king.

Ha because he weighed 50 lbs. less than anyone on the line!

True. Plus I think he pioneered the 3rd gear take off. Then Andrew Short started doing it and he started getting holeshot lol. I always liked him
