Really the field is pretty deep this year, all could be contenders. In no order that means anything.... Villapototo Stewart Dungey Barcia Tomac Canard MILLSAPS Reed Roczen? Weimer maybe... Short maybe.... And then the lites has quite a few, I like that Webb kid on the Yamaha
It should be good watching Cooper Webb and Jeremy Martin trying to beat each other all year being that they are on the same team, both are fast up and coming riders.
So Roczen is training with Villopoto and Alden Baker now. I don't think it'll be long until there is a question of who is top dog in the KTM rig....... Of course, Aldon Baker is just a scam. Ask Carmichael and Villopoto.....
while you're at it ask Aldon how RV managed to dominate they way he did in 2007 and what that means with regards to his program's legitimacy.
RV is 6 years smarter, and more mature than he was in 2007. If he's smarter and makes better decisions now what does having Baker on his payroll today mean about the legitimacy of his program?
RV has the natural talent to go fast. Now he doesn't get tired. Roczen got run down race after race by Tomac this summer. I'll be interested to see the results of his new training. Bet he doesn't fade late in the race anymore.
(off topic) holy crap nachtflug I just notice your odometer 43,805 post in 11 years, that's 3982 posts a year and 11 post per day for last 4015 day
not sure if the results are posted yet. that was Cycle City Promotions Kicker sponsored arenacross. Lampi took 3rd in the 450 but crashed in the 250 but still worked up to 7th from dead last. Ginolfi did really good, 1st and 2nd. Someone named Betterman won the 250, awesome rider, the whoops were, as they say, SICK and he really blasted through them. Desedirio from NJ also placed top 3 in both 250/450. He's also quite freaking good. This was my 2nd time to Albany AX and if there is a better bang for the buck I'd like to see it. AX is in some ways "better" than SX it's a real chess game for picking lines because you HAVE to pick different lines in the turns and there is an awful lot of "sharing" lines also. awesome stuff.
