2017 Supercross season thread

[Jumkie]

Season is half way done.

After Roczen went down I thought the title was over, but looks like moving to Team Green has transformed Eli Tomac into a consistent big boy class contender. I'm a Dungey fan, so I hope he scores his three peat, but I'm not rooting against Tomac, who has injected some much needed excitement to the series after Roczen's departure.

Predictions? As it stands, if Eli wins out and Dungey comes runner up, they would be equal on points, with Tomac wining on virtue of more wins. But that's a tough order. When either get a .... start they manage to arrive on the podium.

I am hoping Tomac can keep it interesting, but I think that race in Texas will end up costing him the title, and Dungey will win another championship.

 

[Jumkie]

Dungey's Daytona race and last lap effort was balls to the wall.

 

[Hollywood]

I actually had sealy finishing 5th in my fantasy, so I really loved it!

 

[Hollywood]

Championship is getting closer...

 

[Jumkie]

Chad Reed is such a piece of ..... What is he doing in SX? Last week he was a comedy horror show, this week he's a total dipshit.

If you live in a glass house, don't throw rocks.

 

[Hollywood]

that was a .... head thing to do on Reed's part

 

[JohnnyKnockdown]

250s Have been great the last few rounds.
Reed is ....... pathetic. I hope Dornama sits him down for a talk.
Im not even a fan of Dungeys, but I hate to see him lose his chance to win, due to an irrelevant lapper

 

[MdubSTYLIE]

You won't find a bigger Eli fan than me, but that was some ......... 22 robbed us of a good race.

That was ......... Reed picked up his lap times by about 2 seconds and raced RD for sure, from 16th. Not sure he could have passed Tomac, but would have been nice to see.

I like how RD called him a lapper in press conference.

I agree. Not sure he could get around Eli or stay there. Eli is on another level than the rest right now.

Reed has always been an arrogant vindictive chickenshit ........ But in SX, you'll never hear the commentators take him to task. If you watched the heat race, it's obvious Reed is trying to take out Dungey, and Ryan is aware of it. As Dungey said, Reed cut across the track in a petulant attempt to use a chickenshit cowardly tactic in retaliation of being passed. You don't get points in heat races, and if he had the pace to win a heat (which he didn’t) why did he get lapped in the main? I wouldn't put it past this gutless cretin to sandbag the main to catch Dungey and bock his progress, Reed is simply this type of individual. It's been a MO of Reed throughout his career. Ya'll remember when he tried to take out Stewart? Reminiscent of Capirossi on Harada. If you go back and scroll through the SX threads of this forum, you will read a catalog of Reedesk moments by Chad that are purposefully cowardly. The dude is a menace, and worst of all, he's irrelevant!

Tomac is in his groove, great to watch, especially the last few races. But this lead seemed tentative in the closing laps at St Lousy. I figured he was managing the lead, but Dungey got within a bike length, then Reed ...... it all.

Dont think he got that close, but yea, Reed had some kind of agenda going on the entire weekend. Would have been nice to to see if he could have caught him, but it appeared like Tomac was managing his lead. We goy us a title chase now and Tomac seems to be holding all the cards.

Good find Holly, it's hilarious.

Haven't seen this but it doesn't sound good. I want to support the guy but not if he's going to ride Sepang 15 style like a ..... Problem is I don't know if Aus will qualify for des nations without him.

 

[BarryMachine]

What a pack of rossioid primadona wusses .....

Two things

nobody likes to be lapped

you are in a race to race ...... no matter for what position and with whom ....



imagine that .... letting someone by ..... because they have more important competition in front.


and jumkie .......... one bike length!??? ...... really ...... what sort of bike is that long? :rolleyes;

 

[Barbedwirebikerr]

Whole thing is blown way out of perpective. Reed done exactly as he should, hold line when shown blue flags. Though this justifies the first lap at least, at some stage he should have had a look over the shoulder to check where dungey was at, and i reckon any other weekend he'd button off and allow dungey through.

But this weekend dungey had a ..... over the heat race. Reed was way ....... clear of dungey before moving across on the whoops, yet was accused as cutting off the ktm Dungey had nothing to mention.

My opinion, reed should have made a gap for dungey after a lap of blues, but also dungey should have forced the issue if he wants to be a championship contender.

Even if he passed, tomac had his measure. Overall result not affected.
