Hangtown: Lucas Oil Motocross RD 1

[Hondamaster5505]

250's- Pourcel wasn't riding too well.. but congratulations to the rookie Eli, he was riding really well!

450's- Reed was HAULING. I wish he would be that aggressive in supercross. Finished 1st in Moto 1 and 3rd in Moto 2 to win the overall.

I thought the lites race was a little boring but the 450 class was interesting.. Anyone else watch it?

all i know is alessi won a outdoor with a 350 ktm and i think he even holeshoted with it. I see a big future for these 350s,

[jesseweaver]

everyone keeps talking about his holeshot so much, 350 or 450 those bikes are so powerful its all about traction. RV holeshotted a 250 vs the best 450 riders in the world a couple years ago at MXoN

plus it was a short holeshot. But just saying it is super impressive.

Its gonna be a good season!


People need to also realize, that just because alessi is on a 350, does not mean its underpowered. With the technology they have, i wouldnt be surprised if the HP numbers are right there with any other race 450(if not better that some...). Those race engines are FAR from stock setups. KTM has stepped it up and is making something work, from making big power out of smaller CC engine and finally getting a linkage(that looks like its working Very good).

Dont get me confused either, im no Alessi fan. Cant stand that family, but Mike does have some tallent....

With that said, GO REED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you see barcia and his mechanic get mad at erin bates? That was pretty hilarious.

Tomac was hauling. You see a lot of riders come straight out of B class to the pro class the last few years. I don't think anyone expected Tomac to do as good as he did. There was a lot more hype for barcia last year as a rookie.

can anyone post pics or a vid, sounds interesting?

X2 i cant stand their dad especially. and he better have some talent if he takes off the whole SX season to work on outdoors.

i think this year the big bikes are going to be really good. i really like andrew short im hoping he can run up front a lot. but i think reeds got it. and id like to see canard and barcia up front on the 250s

[ATVMX33]

what did you guys think of Pourcel's interview before the race?....

Eli Tomac won a b class national championship last year. Barcia did the same thing winning the 2008 stock B championship then going pro in 2009. Ryan Dungey came staight out of B class to his ride with suzuki.

[jesseweaver]

how are the nationals? i've never been to one and i wouldnt mind going to budds creek but its about a 3 hour drive. worth it?

Right before the 2nd moto. When she does the interview about barcia not having a chest protector. Watch barcia and his mechanic in the background when she throws the rocks right infront of his starting gate.

I was at hangtown and Tomac was doing it!! Great to see him do well. Reed looked fast, but he didn't seem to have as much control over the field that most people are saying.
