      He was also on a 250 which are a different animal through the whoops and only raced half a field of 250 riders. Crashed at A1 in the whoops and has been an absolute mental case since. AP and Chase have been the fastest through the whoops several times this year by segment times, not opinion. Malcolm's 31 years old and Christian is a father of 3 over 30. Tomacs on the same exact bike as last year, looks like absolute garbage and extremely slow in the whoops and getting terrible starts. Confidence can do alot too

    Malcolm hit the nail on the head. With muddy tracks luck is a huge factor. Fast guys are still fast but you see them crossrut and crash and you see them get taken out by other riders who are crashing. KR went down because of a mud clod in a rut. Just crappy luck. Barcia is a great mud rider but he isn't anywhere near the front either.

Is this guy the same weight and build as Mookie? Can this guy ride on the same kind of suspension and motor setup as Mookie? It’s very descriptive for him to compare himself to what Mookie is capable of. JS🤷🏼‍♂️
