I was worried after the first moto that maybe it wasn't a track suited to him but after the second moto I kinda seems like he wasn't in the mood yet. Another impressive charge. It's like he can catch anybody at will.
Had to be a bike setup change between motos. I was thinking same as you

Whatever it was it worked I now when those guys see on ther pit board he's behind them and see his lap time they have to think oh no hear it comes. They can't get away it's just a matter of time.

Roczen, Bagget, and Barcia all putting in good rides, low lap times. If Bagget rode the whole race like he does the last few laps he’d be doing a lot better in points!

Cooper Webb going to RED Bull KIM for 2019 and beyond and will train with Aldon Baker. I wonder who will replace him as Justin's team mate.

I don't know if he did anything on dirt...I suspect he has...but current MotoAmerica roadrace announcer ( and former longtime AMA roadrace announcer) Brian Drebber was aparrently killed yesterday morning riding his personal streetbike to the airport to call the next race. He hit a deer.
He was a fan of all forms of 2 wheeled racing, and you have almost certainly heard his voice.

He definitely needs a change from whatever his current program is. I thought I heard he was blaming the bike which is an easy out for him. I think he just expected to win and didn't realize how tough the competition would be in the premier class. If anyone can make him a champion it's Baker. His track record speaks for itself. I'm trying to think of a title holder since McGrath that didn't train with Baker at some point, Tomac is the only one I can think of...oh and Reed but I think that's it. Am I forgetting someone?

I think you are correct. I can't think of anyone either.

Yes he did 2 of them one for RCH and one for KTM and when he was with baker he left after a while they did not see eye to eye.

No Webb can't blame the bike they can do anything he wants with the 450. I think he needs to work on himself and maybe a whole new everything will work for him plus Marvin is at the twilight of his career and they need somebody. There have also been many 250 greats that never found success on a big bike.

Happy Eli did it again. Glad Barcia won both motos and surprised to see Reed racing and he did pretty good. Also read that Pastrana Windham and Sipes will race 2 strokes in motocross of nations for Puerto Rico.

Plessinger is moving up to replace cooper on the 450. i dont watch the races but i listen to pulpmx podcasts.
I think we’ll see big things from Plessinger. And he seems pretty likeable in interviews and aggressive on the track. There will be a learning curve but I think he’ll do well on the 450
