Oakland is tomorrow night. Doesn't seem like a particularly interesting track, but I think the sand section will get some people.

Injury report so far (at least some of the more important people):
Justin Brayton - out with COVID

Colt Nichols - Had surgery from his crash last weekend. Probably won't make it back for the season.

Jalek Swoll - Concussion from his crash. Out for this race, but will be back eventually.

you can read the rest. Don't pick any of those guys if you're doing fantasy.

What the hell is Friese doing in 250s? He's going to fly into a rage and accidentally murder one of those tiny boys.

OK, I finally watched the race and holy poo poo, RIP roczen. Got taken out by Anderson again and then just a minute back for the rest of the race.

Nice to see Tomac get a win. I wonder if he's figured out the mental side a little better now too. Seems like the bike is getting dialed in anyway.

As for webb, I hope you know this is your fault deeters. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Big big fan of Daniel Blair in the booth. I love his pre-race show Blairs Breakdown.

ZachO took a page from the Ryan Dungy retirement press conference guide to having your mom dress you. Yikes. Dude needed a cup of coffee.

Also, loved this from Vital:


ZachO gets a forever pass because he bet one of the dudes at husky that if he won they'd give him a dakar bike. Which is why he now has a dakar bike. Thanks to this pass.


Also, obviously friese is OK. He's made of rage and spare parts. Shimoda's bike never stood a chance.

Glendale tonight is a Triple Crown race. Both classes will have 3 "mains" instead of the usual heats, LCQ, and main.



I kinda like this format since all the racing matters and you end up with more total time with bikes on the track. But it does suck that if someone has 1 bad finish, it kinda screws them for the other two.

Also, a note for anyone who wants to try-hard with fantasy: you get 3 chances at the First Lap Leader bonus. And wait until the final 22 riders are determined before picking so you don't end up with someone who's not in the mains.

Ok, but who’s going to pick cooper Webb so that he crashes? Not it.

I'd love to know why Webb dropped Aldon Baker as a trainer. He was mediocre at best, went KTM and Baker and won the championship, and he won last year with him too. Doesn't seem like his new plan is working yet





Yeah, seems real dumb.

I can't believe they let him back out - he was wobbly as poo poo and couldn't get on his bike.

You guys seeing all the reports of CO poisoning and other iritation from fans, riders, mechanics, etc? Starling is posting about it on twitter.

I hear it's not that bad for you? You just... oh, oh no.

Just from revving bikes in the tunnels or was something else going on?

Been super behind on watching SX, but loving lol how did nobody mention Mookie just destroying Jason Anderson. Not once, not twice (ok twice intentionally) but THREE TIMES and one of them was when he was in front, falling over in the huge rut, guy behind him hits him and falls over and then Anderson hits that guy. Just an absolutely outstanding performance and he is now unequivocally the best racer ever.

Once again just want to state I love Hondas with gold wheels

:hmmyes:


Also love blue wheels on KTMs, huskies and Yamahas.


Or green on suzuki.

I just like colored wheels.

Missed the picks by 5 minutes but I would have been wrong.

Because holy poo poo RIP everyone except tomac and Mookie who god is clearly rewarding for his virtue.

Ya Kate missed the deadline by about as many minutes, oops!

She actually hates the pulp mix style fantasy and keeps telling me that she wants to do the rmmc one next time and I keep telling her to be quiet because racing is on

Every time she picks mookie he fails terribly and so she has given up on him which might explain his successes this year

Gotta encourage your girl’s fantasies. :colbert:

Tomac just coasting. Pulls out some speed when he wants but... he can DNF two races and have anderson finish first in both and still be ahead by 6 points. Just crazy. I hope stewart finishes top 3.

Last time I was at a sx race was in NJ in 2019 and I waited in line for an hour for Ken Roczen to sign a poster and the last person was literally in front of me

Today I waited with my son for Tomac to sign my son's hat for a similar amount of time but it was someone two spots ahead of me this time lol

Oh well, I got Musquin to sign my old af Klutch industries t shirt and it makes me happy



That’s awesome. Not so much missing tomac but getting Musquin.
