That's a fair question. I think probably not if they're using pro racer setup just because I don't need anything to deal with jumping 60 feet in the air or quadding anything, but I would think that whoever you get it from would talk with you about it and set it up accordingly. Either way, I still want it.


This week
Dungey
Musquin (I feel pretty meh about this)
Tomac (I think he's going to get a boost from his performance but still think Dungey is better)
Anderson (please try not to hit anyone this week)
Seely (I don't like this either but I don't know who to move down for him)
8th - Reed (old men get tired)

I like the cut of your jib picks, bro.

I have the same top 5 right now with Millsaps in 8th. I may adjust throughout the day. Everyone remember Peick is out if they were tempted on putting him 8th. Is Canard back this weekend?

Not sure if I'll get to or not, it's a day race, right? I'm a single dad this weekend so that might make it hard, I'll see what I can do.

Checking out the qualifying now, looks like it might be a rutty mess for the race tonight. I think that bodes well for Marvin finishing well, and Dungey obviously. Whoops look pretty big, could favor reed. If they get real tricky Marvin will start jumping them real soon, though.

Probably the coolest thing I've seen all week. :qq:


Struggling with my picks this week. Dallas looks to be hardpack and a really short start. I think that makes Eli less likely to win. Big rhythm lanes but Jason Thomas commented that he doesn't see opportunities for big rhythm combos, so again Eli might be further back. Dungey has got to "turn it around" one of these weeks.

That's great. Isn't his spine OK so he'll probably (eventually) be able to walk again?

This week sucks.

1. Dungey
2. Musquin
2. Tomac
4. Anderson
3. Webb
4. Musquin
5. Anderson
11 - Bogle

I don't really know what to do with 2-5. Musquin can take second if he gets a decent start. It's been a while since Anderson got a good start and if he does I think he can win. Webb seems to be getting better and better so I was thinking about him in second or third but then who do I move down for that? Tomac was passing everyone because he was riding great but also because he was hitting that jump that Dungey et al weren't and I don't think that'll be the case this week.

e: ugh, putting tomac in second and webb third. Sorry, Seely.

Well that was entertaining.

The best ride of the night was Aaron Plessinger in the 250 class. Great to see Marvin on the podium.

What actually happened to Tomac's bike? Did he run 10 laps without a front brake?

Yea, pretty crazy race. These weird finishes are keeping the season interesting. Pumped for Marvin, he's a pretty cool guy and deserves a win. Deano with a 5th, pretty rad for him too!

I'm going to try and get a GIF of Anderson looping and launching his bike, that was entertaining.

What the heck is happening this season. Dungey losing to Musquin, tomac stuffing the front end, mookie uh, well, I guess that's normal now.

How did deano get 5th? That's absurd. I got 15 points this week and I think I actually moved up in the overall standings (not in our group ex250 :argh:).

I keep almost making the right choices and then change them at the last moment only to be originally spot on. I had a gently caress you to trey canard by putting him in 11th but I decided he wasnt even good enough for that and put in dean wilson for 11th.. Traded 25pts for 5.


Still in 2nd tho :v:

Anyone got anything on the 250 East?

I'm mostly interest to see if Cianciarulo can ever come back to form before he grew 7 feet tall.

My guess is it's going to to be the Savatgy show.

I'm pretty pumped about the 250 East. I'm wondering if A mart can put in some results, the bike seems good. I also hope AC does well, he deserves some success. Savatgy is probably the main guy I would think, unless he does have epstein barr or whatever (his second half of 2016 outdoors was not at all good, that was a theory). I guess Christian Craig is the other "guy", but I dunno how much I buy into that yet. AC or Savatgy is my pick, I think.

Yeah, just chiming in - I think it's probably going to be the Savatgy show as well.

Don't love my picks for this week either.

Dungey (making the comeback, it's been a while since he won and I think he still has the speed to do it.)
Tomac (fast without the front brake issue)
Seely (ugh, what am I doing with my picks?)
Webb (just off the podium)
Anderson (just doesn't seem to be able to get a holeshot and lead a race this year, but still fast)
7 - Musquin (he's either going here or in first/second again and I have no idea which)

This year is hard. Every week I pick a top 5 I'm always having to leave someone (or three) out



I feel like the wildcard could really be anyone. Reed, Webb, Canard, Deano, Tickle, Anderson, Barcia (back this week)

I also forgot about Zach Osbourne on 250 East, he's training with Aldon. I'm thinking this is the year he finally gets a win.

Tomac making all his bitch once again. Marvin dropping Dungey. Webb falling from heaven and breaking himself. Alex Martin going to the LCQ and then out in the first turn. Pretty good race weekend.

I'm looking forward to Daytona next weekend. The track looks pretty good, and my favorite horrible starter (Jeremy Martin) is going to be riding on Roczen's 450. I honestly don't expect him to do great since it's not really a motocross track, but he might surprise me. Tomac is practically garaunteed a win here.



Toronto looks like it might be good, long rhythm section and 2 sets of whoops.
