also... bobby fong came to the podium and someone congratulated him a little too hard with a pat on the back and it set off the airbag in his suit, lol
People have only been doing that for like 40 years in road racing now... lol. So annoying. Love watching Toni's race craft. The guy is soo good.
Another great race. Loved watching Cam trying to set Elias up and working on finding a hole. 3 great races so far today.
I'm just so surprised Toni's bike works so good when the fuel load drops , I guess everyone else's bike gets heavier as fuel drops … lol
When you watch these races and see how close they are, in order to appreciate the level of speed at the front of the field, you have to keep in mind how good Elias is. Yesterday while working in the shop I put on a video of the 2009 Holland Moto gp in the rain. Toni led Rossi for a while. Not too shabby. Meaning, everybody racing with him are beaucoups fast too.
Not only that, but 3rd OA in 125s, 3rd OA in 250s, Moto 2 champ. The MotoAmerica podcast with Toni was great this week. Really insightful into his early years and hiw he comes from a racing family, and people he grew up around.
Yeah... super boring... https://www.facebook.com/1547581805472680/posts/2456090377955147?s=100000002751884&v=e&sfns=mo
It turned out to be a couple of decent races but I wasn’t commenting on the riding, but more the track. I personally like a long straight or two because the braking zones allow even more padding.
I need to stop looking at Social Media before I watch these races. I watched both JC, SS and SB races but didn't get to watch Moto GP or Twins Cup yet. Then I scroll through Facebook and it spoils the shit out of it for me. Oh well.. LOL
