For me it seems like will be

450:
Eli Tomac

would love to see musquin on top aswell.

250:
Plessinger/Cianciarulo/osborne/hill?

James is supposed to come to monster cup on a honda in October. No nationals.

What's Dungey's status? I guess he's quitting now and not after the Nationals, considering the pay is low and risk to get injured high?

Well this blows, you can no longer watch the first moto's live stream on promotocross.com :( You have to pay for it now.

I only care about moto 1 so paying $50 isn't worth it to me. Not interested in highlights or the last 2 years. I always streamed moto 1 because I don't have Mavtv. Oh well now I can try out the 450 series :)

Looks to me like Dungey will be there: http://www.promotocross.com/news/mx-sports-pro-racing-congratulate-ryan-dungey-fourth-supercross-title

I will be surprised if he races next year though as it is obvious he wants to start a family and won't do so until his career is finished (heard that from him somewhere).

I can't say I like his decision, but I understand it. The world can see that he is slower than Tomac, Roczen, and even Musquin, and had a huge SX point's lead and was pretty lucky to win the title. But I like to see guys like Reed, who are past champion stay just because they love the sport. But he's healthy, had success, and is paid, so I guess he achieved his goals.

Championship Predictions: ET3, and Plessinger!

Geez, so nice seeing MX races. I forgot how much I prefer this over SX. Much better entertainment imo.

That being said, any source with no commentators? I can't take the permanent advertisement.

THE FLY RACING BOARD IS DOWN AND HERE COMES THE REDBULL KTM OVER THE  MOTOSPORT DOT COM HOLESHOT LINE ON THIS LUCAS OIL CHAMPIONSHIP BUT WAIT 15 MINUTES CAN GET YOU 15% WITH GEICO

Holy fuck that's annoying.

In case anyone is interested in reading a no-bullshit comment on the races from a former very top level pro, I strongly advise reading David Vuillemin input. Guy knows his stuff, and the only thing he sugar coats is his belly those days :p

Well.

That was a spanking. Herlings is like Everts 2.0 (not surprising considering who is coaching him I guess). They have a very similar style too, and both ride like they are alone on the track. Really a great display of skills.

The interviews were awesome too. Pretty sure Herlings was putting his boots on for Moto 2 saying "holy shit this is fun best holiday break ever".

That was absolutely insane yes. Loved those races.

You're not thinking that Everts is coaching Herlings right? He did at first but they're more like rivals now. They don't really like each other as far as i know. Everts is at suzuki now.

Haha yeah it's was very impressive. Herlings is a great rider and kinda stamped all over the ama guys.. 39th to 1st, yeah Marvin made that mustake but still.. Tomac got fucking spanked! And yeah evert and herlings don't like each other, herlings was the reason everts moved to Suzuki

Post by: Asdrael on August 28, 2017, 02:59:58 PM
I am not up to date with Everts, but I thought he played a big role in Herlings coming up the ranks? Anyhow, they do look similar on the bike. Of the bike, Herlings is as cocky as Everts is laid back though haha.

It was an awesome race, herlings was flying, musquin had some fantastic lap times aswell.

im really happy for tomac, not my favourite rider but man, he deserves it, and it was awesome to see the battle for first on the first race, he was really trying to bear herlings and was riding fast.
