Damn that was a hell of a ride from Peick. To ride that well with a torn MCL is unbelievable. I hope he gets healthy so we can see what he is really capable of. Joe Gibbs has gotta be saying Barcia who?, at this point.

IMO, one of the better races so far this year!
Was great to see Reed win, but Dungey was closing fast...
Not sure the split whoop lane worked out as planned. Maybe that outside lane needed
smaller whoops or different jump configuration to at least make them even.
In its existing configuration, they could have used it as Atlanta's version of the MEC Joker Lane.
Heard them say 4 more weeks until Barcia returns. By then Nicoletti might be top 5 and Peick on the podium.
Roczen is one tough rider - Those crashes were gnarly!
I think the leaders lapped half the field.
Great battle for the lead in the 250 class, Martin looks determined and for a while looked so close for Davalos and Husky to get a victory.
Anyone know what happened to Kilbarger in the main?

I think canard can catch Dungey in points. I think if he gets a win next week, he can roll that momentum into Daytona, which should be his being more like an outdoor.
Tried to watch the local guy in the TV main but only saw him getting lapped. Didn't see what happened but it happened early. They had him listed as out on lap four and then laps down. Was cool to see him at our community track and flying past at the GP's last year.

I was surprised Reed was able to hold on for the win but still not a contender for a championship even with (the full) 25 points.

I'll give Reed credit for pulling off the win but he's still not a contender in my opinion. And he wasn't docked 25 points jus disqualified but if he hadn't and was given points for that night where he would have finished he wouldn't be that close in the title chase like u mentioned...but I do give him credit for last night he got it done

The Dunge is training full time with Aldon Baker now.....I guess he was already training part time there this year. Bad news for everyone else, Baker only trains the champion riders it seems like. Roczen jumped ship and look what is happening since then, winning early on and now lost focus. Baker will give Dungey that last bit of edge he needs to win consistently IMO.
Roczen must be taking be tough lessons from Reed.....One tough cookie to race after that !
Reed is the man! Not really a front runner but put it to all the doubters and showing them he still has what it takes to win a main event!!!!
IMO....if you cant make a main event in AX you have no business at all in a pro SX race. I dont care who you are. It makes a joke of the RC race to SX. The fact its a woman making all the waves just shows they are interested more in ratings than racing. Im not bagging on her, Im bagging on the marketing drama.

All Feld cares about is money hence the road to supercross excessive promotion during supercross and the ability to attract a new audience with the story of Vicki Golden

Yeah, although I can see many reasons to get back on the bike and finish the heat race, he wouldn't have made it back to a qualifying position and would have risked another crash or injury in doing so. I dunno. His call I guess. Definately seems to lack the drive to moto. Treats it like a job...

Proves my point.
Was a good race. Glad to see the Kawi and the old guy on top. Although Dungey was closing fast, it was sort of like a yo yo there towards the end. Reed seemed to have a little left in the tank. Liked his comments after the race. Anyone see the selfie he took on FB stating "Let's Party!!!" while his kids lie asleep on each side of him? Was cool.
Yeah, championship is somewhat over barring anything crazy happening to Dungey, but plenty of folks still in the hunt for a win I think. Still some good racing to be had...

Yamaha sure has a good 250 team for a change. I see Martin to start winning races like he did in the outdoors last year. With his team mate Webb winning the west it should make for a great outdoor season. I know this is way early to talk about. Wonder if RV will race the MXON? What a great team we could have this year if all stay healthy. RV, RD and either TC or ET which ever does best in the outdoors. Wonder what number RV will run in the GP's. Oh yea, they need a 250 rider. They have several to pick from.
