Road America - MotoAmerica Round 4

Weather looks perfect.

 

Are they wondering if Dave Grey put gas in the tank?

 

Lol at gillum throwing his hands up crying.

 

I don't think I've ever seen anyone so bothered by a rider. Misplaced mancrush?

Good on Team M4 with two front running riders this year.

 

That was a great race. Clean, fast, no crashes and the 17yo SDK being patient was awesome to watch.

 

Nope
Don't like ones who feel entitled and they are only ones important.

 

Then you saw the big fist bump and shaking of the thumbs up between him and Bobby after? Dude, it's racing. Go to your local karting place and watch all the Joe Schmo's throwing their hands up at each other, and guess what? They all suck.

 

Rewatch him whining about "Bobby breaking the draft". They show him doing it many times.

 

I saw, then he chilled out like 5 seconds after crossing the finish line. Herrin threw his hands up at Toni, even though he left the door open and then blew it going into Canada Corner on his own. Where are your posts on that?

 

Watching Josh vs Toni last year, I wondered how much of the difference in how they went around the track was the Suzuki vs. the Yamaha, but it's clear it's really the rider. To be fair, the tire situation also made a mess of last season, especially this round.

 

Just opened garage fridge and realized I’m outta beer. I must’ve been thirsty yesterday.

Time for a steak and beer run for last few races.

 

Brilliant pass by Herrin, and holy crap Toni!

 

What a last lap

 

What a last lap! Kudos to Tony for trying to get the bike going - although he seemed to be a bit of a jerk to the corner workers.

Edit - how far did he chuck that helmet?

Edit - into the chain link? He should have launched it, then signed it for whoever fetched it.

 

That may have been the best pass Herrin's made his entire career.

 

They should have never introduced a new tire midseason.

 

I agree 100%. That was a terrible decision and really ruined the championship, and I think to some extent really messed up Roger's last year.

 

I agree 1000%. I know they tested the tire at the beginning of the season, or maybe it was the end, either way, it was terrible. I do think it was done to hinder the Suzuki, via Yamaha, but that can't be proved. There is really no other good explanation of why they did it midseason.

 

They didn't have them ready in time. If you talk to the Yosh guys, they'll tell you the compound or the construction was different than what they tested on, but no one could really prove it.
