2016 supercross ***may contain spoilers***

I agree it was classy move by KTM (really, by Roger Decoster, who knows more about motocross than anyone on earth)

I watched the replay a bunch of times, and it looked to me like Stewart tried to take a line thru the left hander that left room inside or outside for the leaders to go by, then stayed to the extreme left down the straight where the dust up occurred. He did go ahead and double or triple the jumps, but to go slower there would've been even more dangerous when the leaders would for sure be doing them. I don't think he Stewart did a damn thing wrong in that turn or on that section of jumps. Whether he could've moved over sooner, since the blue flags were clearly waving, who knows. But if Decoster, who works for KTM, says it wasn't Stewart's fault, that's good enough for me.

Just got caught up on this past weekend. Super classy of KTM. I think Stewart had an ego thing going on and didn't want to back off and/or was surprised and didn't know what to do. I mean, how many times has he ever been lapped? I'm guessing few.

Yes, Musquin made a mistake, but I would have to think anger/frustration that Stewart did not yield to the blues would have played a roll in it.

On another note, and which probably discredits my analysis, this is really my first time watching the serious. How does the east/west thing work out? Does it only affect the 250s?

i don't think Stewart had anything to do with it, the mistake was all Musquin. (goddamn did he and Dungey get lucky!) yes, Stewart went a little deep in that corner and had some speed going before it, but he stayed left after. if Musquin had gone off that lip straight, there would be no controversy.

Jay, the East/West thing is 250 only and splits the championship to each coast. it's considered a 'development class' or 'lites class' with a series that's half the length of the 450cc full championship, which is 17 races long. having it split allows more riders/sponsors to enter and compete. each coast races 8 races then the front runners battled it out in Vegas with an East vs West race.

He actually gets lapped a lot, but usually he's laying on the ground after he crashed.

Ok, that was a hard hit ... but still, Bubba is a bitch.

I saw the the hit but missed the prognosis. What did the man of glass hurt this time?

I really think part of his trouble is that his head is not fully healed from his early season hit. The dude needs to sit for a while again and get healthy before he drops dead.

The 250 race was pretty good too.

Can't believe how strong Josh "Couch" Grant rode.

Track looked pretty good. Nice challenge without the super high speeds of the past.

I was watching it and when he crashed I immediately thought of this thread and the bubba is a bitch line.

This time I'm being purely facetious. Im no fan of Bubba, but that was a major hit. Not surprised he didn't come back from that one, and definitely can't say I blame him at all.

[Paul_E_D]

What the hell happened to him? Whiskey throttle? It looked lit his wrist took a massive impact before he looped it.

[backinthesaddle]

^^ I thought he was trying out for the wheelie boyz.

[flippedr6]

The 250 main was silly looks like crashing runs in the Stewart family

[backinthesaddle]

Yeah looked like the first turn at a 125C class race. Back in the days when 40 riders lined up for 125C class race

[Pittenger5]

Oh yeah, I didn't watch the races till today. Bubba is a bitch.

[Paul_E_D]

Strange 250 race. I don't think you can blame stewart. It was simply too tight in there for all the bikes and no one yielding.

Maybe ... but isn't it ironic that it happened to the same guy twice? Coincidence? Maybe. But like I say, anytime there's something like that going on, a Stewart (though usually James) is involved.

[Paul_E_D]

looked to me like someone stood him up from the inside. that connected him to the bike on the outside.

And maybe Jesus was a perfectly safe rider and everyone else made the mistakes. Who really knows. Just always seems to be a stewart involved.

And on another subject, when the fuck did supercross turn into the Joel Osteen ministries? No wonder there's kids dying all over the world, the man above is too busy protecting all the riders!

LMAO, I HATE that. They're going to start having revival tents in the paddock!

[backinthesaddle]

Lol. You know when a disaster happens and someone asks where was god when this happened. Sorry he was watching down on 450 main.

[Pittenger5]

Bubba is a bitch.
Oh and now Malcolm is suddenly sick.

[SVRACER01]

track wasnt though

[Paul_E_D]

The whoops looked so tough that most guys were doubling or rolling them by the end of the race. Just too much risk to try skimming.

[typeone]

speaking of Foxboro, keep forgetting to grab tix !!
