I just don't see what's changed from last year w/r/t Musquin or Tomac that would suggest they can consistently beat Anderson. Otherwise, yeah I think it's Dungey/Roczen at a clear 1/2 and then Anderson 3 with Tomac and then Musquin and those three rotating around in the bottom half of the top five with the occasional Chad Reed appearance. Extra laps is just going to make Dungey and Roczen even more better than everyone else. Last year, nobody could catch Anderson even if they were mad at him. I really hope that he does something to make Cooper mad because when Webb sees red he doesn't care about anything else and switches from race mode to search and destroy mode and that would be hilarious (and well deserved). But, I agree that he's not going to do as well as everyone seems to think.

Yeah, I just have no idea who's going to come out strong so I figured Dungey was going to be pissed about all of Roczen's good publicity and missing outdoors so he'll want to prove he's still the champ. Then roczen is just good. After that? No idea.

Well, I got the top five correct, just all in the wrong order. Musquin, if you go sucking now you're dead to me. Roczen looked great. I think it'll be tough to pick anyone else for first unless something goes wrong. Maybe if Dungey can get a better start he'll be more competitive, but it seemed like Roczen just pulled away this race and then kept pulling even when he and Dungey were both out front alone. No surprise that Webb isn't setting the world on fire. It'll be interesting to see if he gets top 5 better or if he gets podium better because in 250s he did kind of just outlast people and here he'll be hard-pressed to do that. Why would you ever fight with Peick? Come on now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abwNmNo5ce0 re: milsaps - nobody except the most popular internet radio show ever about supercross... e: RIP Canard. From the racerx preview: Trey Canard: The rub with Canard is well-known—he’s ultra-fast, can win races, and can challenge for a championship as long as he’s able to avoid getting hurt, which has been an issue for him in the past. He’s on a new team now—Red Bull KTM—but recording 17 solid rounds needs to be the primary focus. oops. e2: a three piece suit has a waistcoat/vest. That's a regular suit.

More gifs pleasedreesemonkey posted:I don't know much about dirt-bikin', but I can see the rear get kicked to the side a little and - to me - it looks like Roczen just did not expect that and panicked. I guess it also looks like his feet came off and he couldn't muscle it back into place. Doesn't the rear kick up and kick him off? Otherwise, no way his feet would be up in the air like that, I'd think.

shacked up with Brenda posted:I've always found it interesting that the 250 is so dominant and the 450 is.... less so. This is even despite the 450 winning many magazine shootouts. I wonder what's up? More separation of talent at the 450 level and yamaha has olllllld chad reed and new webb vs. Dungey, Roczen (RIP), Tomac, Seely, Musquin, Anderson, etc who are all, arguably, way better riders and it's not like any of the factory bikes are bad. Like, nobody is running OEM suspension in these so who cares if the forks out of the box are better when you're putting in 5k worth of cone valves.

shacked up with Brenda posted:Not to go crazy off topic, but have you ever ran WP's with cone valves? I always wonder if A-Kit suspension is meaningful if you don't have an engineering to complete the package for you. No, but I really want to. I've heard it's supposed to be great. I would think it's the other way around though? Suspension always helps, but other stuff is really limited by being able to put power down without falling or slipping.

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)

That's great. Isn't his spine OK so he'll probably (eventually) be able to walk again? This week sucks. 1. Dungey 2. Tomac 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.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K1q9Ntcr5g 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  ).

dreesemonkey posted: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)

I have no idea who's going to win anymore, but is tomac really going to win eleventeen in a row? If dungey doesn't finish top two I'm done picking him above third (unless someone gets injured). Dungey Musquin Tomac Seely Anderson 10-Tickle

Deeters posted:Reed got fined for it. Definitely more than usual, but usually he's winning so I think it's understandable that he's getting more frustrated with stuff like this. Plus, this seemed pretty bad to me. That said, I definitely prefer less whining to more. I think it's fair that Reed got fined. He was just ignoring the blue flags and can you imagine what he'd have said if someone had done that to him a year or two* ago? *okay, ten.

dreesemonkey posted:I was pulling for Jimmy D for yinz guys. So close Sheesh, picked musquin to win the past two weeks, went back to tomac this week and ahhhhhhh If Dungey had gotten a better start he might have given Tomac a run for his money (assuming he started in front of Tomac). Webb going down was great, but man he looks like he's going to be pretty fast. That block on Tomac was pretty great too even if he just couldn't keep up. Pretty clever of team yamaha to hold up dungey twice in a row now. They know KTM is their biggest competitor for bike sales, so they've sent Reed and Webb out with orders to slow down Dungey at any cost.

I meant this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVjTcw2F2NM&t=120s for Webb-Dungey. Reed even knows it's coming and goes right over it! CONSPIRACY! That'd be a great team. Not sure anyone could compete with it if they were all actually trying and Roczen's still not 100% (or out).

shacked up with Brenda posted:Race format chat: 1. There aren't very many motorcycle riders. 2. Nobody grows up riding supercross. Few enough people grow up riding motorcycles as is. 3. It's in the dirt so that's an even smaller segment of folks who would naturally be interested. 4. People don't generally like racing. Look at the popularity of any motorsport vs. other sports. 5. It's not exciting unless you really care about it. It's a bunch of dudes riding in circles. The jumps are cool and all but they're not like x games jumps. 6. It's on Saturday night and isn't enough of a cultural touchstone that folks can be like "nah, I'm watching supercross" instead of doing out with friends. 7. Folks who don't ride don't understand how ridiculous what they're doing is. 8. It's really broed out. Whether or not there would be more women watching if it weren't, I don't know. But it's definitely not helping in terms of broad market appeal. I would guess it's 13-25 yo male demographic appeal is pretty decent but that's also a relatively small demographic. 9. Video games.

dreesemonkey posted:This is a cool and good summary. Mostly I think dirtbikes are somewhat of a dying breed. I've never owned one, but I guess tracks are less and less common now due to liability/noise. fwiw, I think electric bikes are going to be great for SX/MX because they'll dramatically increase the availability of tracks by removing what seems to be the biggest complaint. That said, a 50% increase in a small number is still a small number

I've been falling behind because every week I think "this is the week that Tomac doesn't win." I don't think we've seen anything that indicates he won't win so f it, I'm choosing Tomac. 1. Tomac 2. Dungey 3. Seely 4. Musquin 5. Webb 10. Mookie E: I hope dungey wins tonight so it goes down to the line. I think if Tomac wins it's all over. But dungey will need a seriously good start to do that.
