East coast races means my girlfriend is awake which changes the whole dynamic and means I'm c itizised for " not stopping at three"

Is he going to win the championship this year? Turns out I want Tomac to (finally) win.

Either would have maxed out fantasy points wise.

Fantasy was a wreck for me (154 points) and I didn't like the race outcome, I was pissed that I stayed up to watch that.

Stop posting these harsh truths, I can't deal. Here's my theory on Roczen and Tomac:

Roczen - Rumors of hand/grip problems, not surprising since he's half metal at this point. No amount of physical fitness is going to let him finish off strong.

Tomac - (Re)injured and/or just a giant headcase. Maybe he knocked up his girlfriend or something. HOW can he go from being so fast the last two years to this? HOW? Get the 2018 bike out of storage or something, christ.

Quick reminder that because tonight is a Triple Crown race, the starting line up for the mains is already set and can be viewed here. And you've got 3 chances to get the first lap leader right. Don't get stuck with less than 8 riders in the main!

Welp, not a great week for me (185). I was traveling and out of cellphone range so I couldn't alter my team after qualifying, I picked earlier in the morning Saturday so I only had 7 guys in the main.

There was apparently some gnashing of teeth on twitter about Webb and Savatgy jumping off the face of the jump Chad was laying on and whether or not that was considered safe. That would have made the title chase much more spicy as Marv kind of took some of the wind out of his own sales.

No one knows what's going on with Tomac. There is no excuse for his fall from grace, IMO. Musquin is just now looking like his previous self from the past few seasons, and when Tomac is on he's well beyond Marvin. I've only seen Tomac look like Tomac a couple of times, like the first two races in the Detroit triple crown.

Opinions: He's a headcase, he needs to train with other riders, the tracks have been tamer this year, eliminating the big risk/big reward rhythms that he's good at
Conspiracy theory: He has some sort of lingering injury, he's unhappy with the Kawi and signing elsewhere next year

Luke warm take: Tomac isn't winning either championship this year.

I've been thinking the same thing for awhile now.

Also interested to see if Webb has a resurgence or if Marv can move past him in the standings.

I'm on team not-webb. But it would be alright to see Marv win, he's at least a nice dude.

I still think it's Webb's to lose. I think he's mentally tougher than Marv is.

Luke warm take: Tomac isn't winning either championship this year.

Watching him through the whoops in Seattle, he just didn't have the pace he used to and it looked like he was trying. He used to go through whoops and add like eleven seconds to his lead every single time. Approximately. Now he's slower blitzing them than other dudes jumping them which just isn't right. Definitely agree with some of the changes to the tracks, but he was also just plain faster than everyone last year by like a mile when he was on so that doesn't seem like the full explanation.

I think it's probably, in order of likelihood.
1. brain problems.
2. bike issues (Remember when there was some issue with setup and then it all clicked and oh man he was fast)
3. fitness? I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's #1.

Marv is the Pedrosa of Supercross. Experienced rider getting beat by his new teammate, has a bunch of dumb crashes, but otherwise seems like a really nice guy off the track.

So I think Forkner is dead. He crashed pretty hard in the first 250A practice, kind of like a whiskey throttle through the whoops and off the track. Then I missed the second round of 450 qualifying because of dinner but right at the end of 250A Forkner over jumped something and seemed to be in lots of pain from the earlier injury and was trucked off the track on the Medic Mule(R)

There is speculation that he tore his ACL, but it's just that right now.

I had a good fantasy weekend for once, 288 pts!
