Gotta say my favorite season ever so far. 450s is wide open. At least half a dozen guys that could win on any given night. Very entertaining.

Back in the 2-stroke days, the 250cc class was king, and the 500s were just kinda there. It's switched now and it's weird for me. If any of you guys watched Supercross then, do you remember there would always be one guy on a 500 4-stroke bringing up the rear, but you could hear him over everything else?

The 500s were basically a waste of cc's unless it was a very open track. 250s regularly produced quicker lap times. Remember those days well.

Just where is Tomac?? I thought this would be the season he’d finally put it together. I guess he’s still in the hunt but just doesn’t seem like the dominating rider he used to be.

I have a tough time liking Webb. Just comes across as kind of an a-hole. But I used to feel the same way about Kenny now I kind of root for him. Who doesn’t love a good comeback story right?

Finally got to watch today. Cianciarillo is riding to his potential glad to see it. Eli and Kenny need to wake up starting to get disappointed in there performances. I know they gotta get there bikes dialed in, but that's what they do for a living with the best of everything . I hope one of them gets a win this time. Webb's attitude will get worse if he keeps winning .

What a mess probably could have got a podium in the 700. Good to see Eli win really hate to see Frenchy finish in front of Roczen . I feel bad for Barcia I really think he would have done well in such crappy conditions. Can't wait to see how it plays out on dry ground next time I think Roczen will be fired up listening to his podium interview

Didn't comment last week but it was good to see Eli win . I don't know what his deal is but it's seven races in today was pitiful for him. Looks like Webb wants it the most . I'm not a big Webb fan but this finish was impressive . I may become one yet. I bet Marvin is miserable he's supposed to be the man but the new kid is making him look bad I bet there's some tension in the red bull camp.

I always felt about Roczen like you do about Webb but I have to give him big props after that interview last night. A lot of guys would have been salty about that pass, but he admitted he would have done the same and took it like a champ. Props to Ken- he made a fan out of me with that interview.

Love Barcia but karma is catching up with ole Bam Bam. Can't believe they DQd the other guy- definitely a double standard there.

That was a hard hit to Barcia. I have always liked him and I am a Roczen fan, but he doesn't seem to have the speed he had before all of his injuries. Eli seems to be lacking as well. I would like them to get their act together and show us some battles like they used to have.

Barcia has been involved with his fair share of obvious ones though


Again I like him, but it's inevitable that if you go through your career doing things like this there will come a day where somebody with far less to lose will getchya back at a time that may be less than ideal

Yeah I remember that. I also believe down the road Barcia will punt him even though this was supposed to be payback plus maybe he should return to arenacross . He hasent done well at this level anyway except for a few early rides at pro circuit.

Glad Eli is starting to stir again. Kinda hoped Barcia would have one it when he was leading and I don't know why Roczen seemed a little off.

Reviving the dead!! Just taking a minute to say Dylan Ferrandis is a total douchebag POS. Totally a deliberate T-bone on Craig. Only way he can pass the fast guys is by roughing them up and playing dirty. He got that championship gifted to him cause the fast guys got hurt last year. Cannot stand that piece of crap. Was all i could do to keep from trashing my tv Saturday night.
Rant over.
