SX US: San Diego seen from the sofa - MX2K

San Diego seen from the sofa: all of the American supercross is presented to you from another angle with 3as Racing specialist Off Road.With more than 300,000 references to the catalog, 3as necessarily has the room you need.

San Diego, Round 3. Usually, this is where we are starting to see more clearly, that a hierarchy begins to take shape.This year, a little less.Proof that it may well be at the start of one of these famous indecisive seasons, of those who keep in suspense all along and of which we are talking about years later!Or the guys will fall like flies and we will end up with a good old Roczen/Webb duel which will end with the Coop for Cup, or vice versa.In short.

Μais Let's start this section/chronicle/digital paper or as you want to call it by the big news of the evening: the withdrawal of Thomas Do.No, I mess around, but we will come back to it anyway, at the bottom, further.Rather, as Mickey says.Nothing transcendent, with a lot of 90 ° turns which generally do not help overruns.A Dragon Back, but quiet version, and the real star of the evening: a series of long Whoops as a strict confinement, and which was almost the only drinking place to double, there was only. With as much length, one could legitimately think that they were going to get rid and become "Safe", but Niet, they remained to dribble all evening.Which has largely favored some (we see you, Christian) and no others (hum, Marv).All this combined with a hard and slippery land, which made the grip hard to find obviously.

Here it is, the first victory of Chase Sexton! Since time, it had to happen so much our dumbo of the Monille (its native bled from Illinois) has the complete package: departure/speed in the Whoops/Speed ​​very short/physical ... Following last week when, Precisely, he did not feel more in confidence than that in the Whoops, the team tested before San Diego and CS23 adopted new fork tees which bring less rigidity to his Honda. Imagine the end of wood that it had to be for ordinary people! Anyway, nothing to point out for a chase in robot mode: after his good start, he took this time this time that it was necessary to double in an authoritarian manner Marvin Musquin, then tchao/good evening. A victory as in a dream, without any difficulty, both feet on the footrests whatever happens. The question is now, what are we doing? Have we just attended a MCGRATH type unusual reign in 1993? Is it a sword in the water? Is he a candidate for the title? Will we one day see a chase/do team? Oops, sorry, I'm still getting lost. So many questions! In any case, it was beautiful like a ballet with a bowlchoi, and the young person is clearly not there to drink pasta water. Even in his team, his status will soon be a problem, in my opinion. And casually, the HRC team has won two out of three events so far.

Eli Tomac takes advantage of one of his rare good starts to take the red plate after three races, here is a start to the championship on which little would have bet! 6/4/2, et3 is good with his new team, since it is simply his meileur start of the championship in SX US 450. With always this inimitable style, which even pulls on the seb tortelli at times in the turns. Well, all that, therefore, knowing the difficulty that our cowboy of Colorado has to properly start his seasons. But, because there is one anyway, it is severely weird to see Eli "Fucking" tomac, not really half a salt, be deposited in the Whoops like that by Jason Anderson. Or even be unable to come back to Sexton once the musquin obstacle has been saved. Et3 remains a great pilot, proof is this red plate, but is no longer the bulldozer that he was for a while. Well, that said, I wouldn't necessarily tell him in the face in these terms, you never know. In any case, these performances show that this Yamaha is perhaps as bad as some commentators say ... #BluePig

Especially since we find a second on the podium of San Diego, with finally a real result of Dylan Ferrandis!Hyper fast at the time, DF, however, still fell into Heat at the start.Fifth at the end of a correct rise, it did not seem to be won in the final ... The choice of an entirely interior grid saved the evening, allowing it to go out not too bad.And for the second evening in a row, Dylan allowed himself to double the defending champion!His passages in the Whoops, in particular, were well to the point, allowing him to make an equal with his teammate Tomac.The speed, the consistency of time on the final, everything is in place so that Dylan finally sets in the long term on the podium, not once in time.But it goes through more regularity at the start too.In any case, all this goes in the right direction!

This devil of Cooper Webb was not far from stealing his first podium of the year at "Our" Dylan!Big whoops or not, good start or not, the pitbull is still there, grabbing the calves of the postman whatever happens.Thus, despite the start of the championship that may have seemed a little slow on the screen, the guy is the second ex-aequo of the championship at one point of the head ... on a whole new motorcycle, without having shown anything yet.It's more worrying than reassuring for his opponents, seen from here.In fact, Coop is reminiscent of T1000 of Terminator 2: You may do what you want, the guy is still there, nickel as on the first day.He clearly plays the long term, and the fact with intelligence, even on a field like this which was not favorable to him.Beautiful work ...

We were waiting for Malcolm Stewart best in San Diego, with such a long line of Whoops.This does not prevent Mookie once again very well rolled, staying in contact with Cooper, not so far from Ferrandis, throughout the final.With a slightly better start, he too has his place on the podium.The problem is that they are almost a dozen in the same case.Tcking up with Ken Roczen after three races, this start to the season remains largely positive, despite the Marvinade of Anaheim 1. It looks like the Baker’s Factory transplant is going on!

Speaking of Baker, his other Poulain Aaron Plessserger did not succeed this time: going ahead.AP7 is certainly not mounted on the podium suddenly, but held its rank by not dropping anything until this very credible sixth place.The same he occupies in the provisional, which is not nothing when we see the names in front, and also behind elsewhere.

Another difficult evening for Ken Roczen in San Diego, even if it is not entirely his fault.Already, being dominated in this way in Heat by Cooper Webb and Marvin Musquin did not announce much of good.The German, however, did the main one by leaving in the head wagon.A time doubled by the webb enemy, he had managed to iron it, which is rare enough to be reported, and was not so far from tackling Tomac when he took a green torpedo called Jason toThe release of Whoops.Nothing very bad, but enough to make him lose precious points ... the most important being that he is in the spot, and always in contact with the provisional.There will be better days.

Finally, it came time to talk about Jahzion Anderson. In a perfect world, JA21 would be the leader of the championship with an almost immaculate roadmap, a 2/1/2 of very good aloi ... because apart from the flawless performance of Sexton, Jason was El Hambre of this final . Starting in the package, he went up in front like an Elite in Ufolep, passing customers like Webb, Ferrandis, Rozcen or Tomac. Impressive ! Jason is clearly the huge surprise of this start to the season, and this race has been best for ages. It’s all the more unfortunate that his Kawa started smoking than the back of Stankdog van after the final last week. "Radiator concerns" according to the official track, radiator cap torn according to some. The fact remains that El Hombre preferred to make a little hand, but still saves this eighth place important in the perspective of the championship. Because this time, we are there: JA21 is in the title race, with this kind of performance.

More swag than that, you can't!

Justin Barcia finished 8th on the ground, but was penalized with a position for having put too much gas outside the track after his fall before the Whoops. A slight convertible offered with a smile by another Justin, Bogle this time, who had been properly cut in half by Barcia before. A complex situation to examine. Admittedly, taking revenge when you take a turn, it's like trying to kiss your sister, a big no. No, Niet, Nicht. But there is a time when you need someone to stand on the road to Barcia, and show him that his actions have consequences. According to witnesses to the drama, JB51's attack on JB19 was a terrorist level. Thus, if you cannot endorse what Bogle did (rightly disqualified), you can at least understand it. Barcia, he may also see that we can double without being forced to expel the one preceding in the first floor refreshment bar. No, I'm kidding, again! Come on, Robert, give us two JB, the seagulls have a foot!

Perfect execution on the part of Justin Bogle, anyway!

Oh Fatche, it's time to chat by Marvin Musquin.Frankly, after the announcement of his rallying at the DV’s Factory and his SX Only contract, plus this very good first race, I was making Marv one of the favorites on the title.Or at least for the final podium.In fact, after his very good Heat and his departure in mind, I saw him well, why not, counter the attacks of this Sexton robot to finally win alone.How to say ... it didn't really go like that.Marv ’flowed faster than a trawler toe by mistake by a submarine, and just saved a place in the top 10 because JB10 (another!) Lost the before after the Whoops.Hard.Not even bothering to shoot the ambulance, I imagine that he has to feel pretty bad like that.DV load and its clan to find the words.

Other than that, we lost Joey Savatgy for the season.Already affected by the knee ligament, he put a layer on it this weekend.A new blow for a guy who continues them.Hard, this sport.Adam Cianciarulo also leaves us for a few weeks, after having hurt his knee, in addition to his shoulder.Fortunately, Jason is there for Team Kawa!

Dean Wilson experienced clutch problems in the first round, which is not commonplace.

Category 250 San Diego

Here we are with a new winner, Michael Mosiman!We have known for a long time that he has the speed, it was not to make stupid mistakes.What the Gasgas pilot has for once succeeded, even if it was very much necessary.Nothing to say, Mosiman made a great race and was able to resist an excellent Hunter Lawrence.Beautiful job, without too much waste.

Hunter nevertheless gave everything in the role of the hunter, even ending in the wheel after having taken a little time before.Still not descended from the podium, the elder is in his place in second position, now that we have also lost the friend Seth Hammaker.Too bad he failed to take advantage of a rare Craig error to win, because this type of opportunity will not happen every week.

Christian Craig had won the race before arriving in San Diego, just looking at Whoops' photo on Dirt Wurx's IG. But you have to run anyway. It was at the start that it went into a spin, because of a mosiman who serves Hunter who himself serves ... in short, domino effect, and our CC28, without visor, condemned to go up. Careful, he first wanted to check that the oil flowing on his housing did not come from his machine. From there, we were able to attend the recital. This Craig is still the magic genre when it rolls like that. It looked like an ice skater in the middle of a hockey team. Any resistance being useless on the part of the others, since it will be necessary to pass in the Whoops at one time or another ... Vince Friese tried to make friese, but there was nothing to do. "Kchisstiaine" remains the great favorite for this title, the proof is that it can go up on the podium by taking the time to lie down at the first turn, then to take a Reco tour. Strong. The guy even manages to stay classy without visor ...

Easy, the guy ...

Beautiful fourth by Vince Friese, in the role of the guy in the right place at the right time.Vince is well capable of getting on a podium, when there is one or two more injured ...

Jo Shimoda, involved in the departure crash, is well reassembled, but here is another race that does not do its things ... lasts season for the Japanese.

Nice sixth place for Carson Mumford, and good return to the seventh also for Jalek Swoll, after his Anaheim cascade 1. Catastrophe, on the other hand, for poor Garrett Marchbanks, forced to abandon after having pierced his hose of radiator inthe departure crash.

Finally, let's move on to the Do. Followed by Flo under the helmet, we all expected a lot of his adventures on video. Especially after its good results last year, on a coast it is true deserted like that of Opale in November. Not in the pace in Anaheim, absent without too much explanation in Oakland, Thomas Do decided not to go to San Diego and to stop his US adventure there. Disput, unable to drive at his level, Thomas is no longer in the right psychological dispositions to perform. It would be easy to throw the stone or make bad valves (do blocked?), But the reality is that this sport is so demanding and dangerous that making this decision is certainly the most responsible. Rolling in SX, a fortiori in the race, cannot be done lightly, and doing it with an apprehension is the Ganranti disaster. Bravo, therefore, to Thomas Do for this much more courageous decision than one might think at first glance.

Back to Anaheim next week!
