Holeshot, I sure hate to see Canard miss the first round. This kid needs a break, and I don't mean another bone. He has the skills to win, he just needs tostay healthy.
Lets just hope the list doesn't get any longer than that over the course of the season.
NO shot at the title if Canard skips A1, Even is he gets 10 points that could be all he needs in the end.
I don't know about that. Last year RV missed a event and still won it in the end. Not a good way to start, but not impossible.
Agreed Bill C.... He can go out and salvage points by just making it to the main event and coasting around the track...but with that, you have the possibility of getting hurt trying to play it too safe....whatever TC41 decides I will support..... JS7 DNF's 2009 if you recall and came back....but that was after winning just about every race from there on out....I dont think that is possible this year, so every point will count.....
if trey wants anyshot at the title he Has to race tomorrow.PERIOD. trey should just go out there and get a top ten and atleastr get some sorta points. this year a DNQ like RV last year or bubbas 18 place finish at jacksonville or any thing along those lines is going to be really hard to win at the end. and if it does happen the person it happens to better hope hes the points leader with a 25 point lead because if there all really close then that happens it is gonna be hard to make those back up. Its going to be interesting come A1. RV bike looks sick and dungeys fox gear. Im a big fox fan. It looks awesome
TC has no chance for a championship any way so its best for him to heal up. The best he can hope for is to stay up and maybe win one race.
Seems to be a lot of wrist injuries ????
@
johnny6, He is not quite at the same level as RV.
Trey needs to go in... qualify in his heat.... and then ride around at the bottom of the top ten and get some points... should be easy for him.
You forgot Kyle Regal!!
Injured people have rides....and healthy competitive riders dont...
He might as well be considered as injured.
With maybe the exception of Canard...he whips all those riders asses easily and 80% of the healthy roster out there now.
Just sayin^`
Normanmx you got a point. I normally dont like reading this article cause it always makes me cringe. But you have to notice how short the list is right now. Does bring a smile to the face.
If Regal wanted to race he would be there.Just ask Hahn.
Ohhh Regal will race...I know that for a fact..but that doesnt mean all teams have to wait for more riders to unfortunatelly get injured to make the investment.
Langston you are right...not nice article to read,hope it stays short.(although this is a preseason race list)
Last season was wacky crazy at some point.
Faltou na lista o Antonio Balbi...
Maybe not today, but last year RV wasn't really setting the world on fire in the beginning of the year either. I'm just keeping the faith.
i hope grant kicks ass on his kawasaki..justin brayton will go top 10...stewart and villapoto are sick..... stewart better whatch his tone when he said hes going to beat jeremys record.... it would be nice to see tortelli make a surprise ride...or even bettter larry ward on a noleen sizzler yamaha..
