The Monster Energy Supercross tour is staffed by an intensely dedicated group of sponsors and support staffers. Here’s what life is like on the SX road. Page 136.
Look for the verified symbol 
Impulse Studios
Bagget Came Out of Nowhere lol
James didn't crash.
James, Bagget, or Roczen should not surprise anyone
I agree with CJNunes426, which is why I chose Brayton. I didn't see either 450 moto, so I don't know what happened, but he's usually way better than that. He even won a 450 moto what, 2 years ago?
It has to be Tedesco.
Stewart going 1-1? If you voted that, you're a hater, plain and simple
Bagget chasing down Roczen and Barcia? Did you not watch the race last year? Same freakin thing.
Brayton finishing 19th? When has Brayton ever been an "outdoor" guy?
Roczen podium? C'mon. We know he's blazing fast, especially outside.
I just looked it up, kas447mx -
Brayton was 5th in 2010, 7th in 2011. To me that makes him a pretty good outdoor guy, eh?
Besides Short ,Brayton stats. I thought Hughes would do something!!!!
If you even watched it you would know it was Baggett taking the moto 1 win that was the best. To come from that far behind and take the lead with two turns left was thrilling.
James Going 1-1 at Hangtown Mx was No Surprise......Its was Basically Carved in Stone.
What happened to Justin Boreton? Zzzzzzz
What was the least expected surprise of Hangtown? NBC sports treating us like nobodys and screwing up the air time of the second motos. I'm no newbie to this sport. I've been racing since 1983. Yes, the coverage is light years ahead of even 2004, but it is inferior to 2010 or 2011.
How about Regal going 28-17 on his best outdoor bike ever? That surprised me a bit.
Brayton= Factory Honda nothing less than podium and where he finished is a lets say not worthy of that ride
The fact that I was able to stay awake until 2:00 AM to watch the second set of motos surprised the hell out of me!
saying stewart going 1-1 has nothing to do with being a hater, that guy has taken more soil samples than the EPA in the last two years, just figured he would follow suit and take a few rounds to get things figured out, going 1-1 is a huge suprise, even with a couple fast guys on the couch.
Glad he seems to have gotten whatever it was figured out, guess it was the bike, lol.
NBC Sports starting coverage 30 minutes late was a pretty big surprise.
Anyone surprised by Stewart going 1-1 has a pretty short memory.
@WFO_UFO "best outdoor bike" Stewart might disagree with that ;)
seattle, are we married? My wife says that all the time.
How could the world not be surprised by stewart going 1-1, seriously? 24-0 was a couple years ago. Not saying it wouldnt happen this year, and it will happen more, just didnt expect him to do it first round is all.
Count the soil samples in the last two years, its in SX only, but thats all we can gauge. And his MO has been in years past to go WFO and win or crash right?
the test will come IF someone can pressure him this year, and that someone is basically only Dungey, no disrespect to anyone else.
Seattle- I said HIS best bike ever- as in first 'full blown factory ride'. And Millsaps was doing fine on it til his elbow popped out. As far as Stewie goes he just didn't fit the bike- maybe Regal will.
Brayton...becuase I don't remember even seeing him in action
I agree with McChicken. Brayton's disappearing act was the big surprise. Stewart may have spent a lot of time taking soil samples the last few years but he looked comfortable and in control on Saturday. He looked like he was just cruising and managing his gap rather than trying to lap the entire field. Dungey has been VERY strong at Freestone, so this weekend is going to be very interesting.
