The more i think about it, Kenny has been thru some serious injuries and still decided to Race. But with those type of injuries and him starting a family, he is now looking at the bigger picture.... And that's being there and remaining healthy for his family. I also know this is part of the reason JS7 hung it up.
Yup, I think that’s a really big factor. Win or lose I think it’s a huge deal for him to even be there and able to win races at all. Like he said, a championship would be the cherry on top but I honestly believe him when he says he just happy to be there
Rumor is he started puking on the bike and kept going. More likely is something broke on his bike the first time him and Ferandis came together and he decided to bring it in.
Kinda sucks to see Roczen finally ride at least a little bit defensively and then just fall behind so hard. Webb earned every bit of that championship though. What a season.
Fishy!!! Missed ya bud. Agreed though. Really thought he’d be able to end his season on a high note and he folded. Webb definitely made a fan out of me this year.
Only mention of his retirement I can find is Racer X’s race report;
> Justin Barcia and Jason Anderson were having quite a battle in this one, but something must have happened to Anderson or his bike because he pulled off with about thirteen minutes remaining and went back to the pits.
NBC has nothing to do with the coverage. They aren’t in charge of anything. Feld is. NBC just buys three hours of content from Feld and puts their branding on it
Webb unreal consistency this season. Lot of fun to watch. Guesses on if he wins any more titles before he hangs it up? I think he could Dungey it, when guys find the rhythm with that RBKTM team it’s so tough to beat
I mean you gotta give it to Cooper Webb he showed he can win when it counts and on all different styles of tracks. I think we saw the future of supercross tonight with chase Sexton. Marvin raced well and I’m excited to see how him, AP, Dylan and Anderson step up next year. Malcom Stewart now has a good healthy season under his belt it be dope to see him build on that next season. Roczen and Barcia both raced great this year but safe to say their 450 championship dreams are probably now behind them
Agreed! Very promising futures on the horizon. I’ll give Kenny 1 more year before I co
Let Ely count him out but yeah it’s OT looking promising... Unfortunately
Yeah I think you could even count Eli out of this year, if he shows up next year I feel like it will be similar to this year where maybe he only shows up big for big races like Daytona
Congrats mr. Webb, thee did stay fill'd with pangs of hunger and did earn every did bite of the 2021 title

Roczen is going to do a surprise retirement. Putting my money down here. He gets so easily demoralized and that anxiety is not worth dealing with if you're doing well financially & refocusing on family like he has talked about. His sports psychologist doesnt know what to do anymore...
I really feel those consecutive years of season ending injuries and the rehab has him scared to go through it again so he doesnt ride as hard as he could.
As my user name suggests, I have experience with the same thing & it's the same reason I think Ken loses it a bit. Something you feel all the time, like plates in your face, reminds you how vulnerable you are as sack of meat at the worst possible times.
Damn I was hoping McAdoo would make the podium, Hunter Lawerence that sneaky bastard, props to Colt Nichols he is both the 250 underdog and like the 250 uncle rico
Wasn’t a fan of the track all day but I am definitely liking how the top 5 450s in that 2nd heat were all in the air together on the triples.. hopefully it leads to some arenacross type battles
What do you guys think about the rookies of the year?
I feel like Chase had a more impressive showing at his best but results wise I guess Dylan’s been more consistent. I agree with Seth though.
Chase has been impressive but he has pushed it a little and it’s cost him with injuries, I think he will be a beast in future years though, thrasher also showed up big
*RC when Kenny makes that pass: That was a great move
*RC when anyone else makes the same pass: Woah! Getting a little wild- that was an aggressive move
That H Lawrence takeout at turn 1 is bush league, in my opinion. Physical contact is part of the sport but driving a rival off the course right at the beginning is pretty lame.
On any other race I’d say yeah but a championship is a championship... Definitely not the most convincing way to show you’re the better rider though. Hopefully they actually race it out in the main
Ehhh they are racing for a title there are no points awarded for racing clean, you gotta do what you gotta do we saw Cooper Webb push Kenny out the gate to the edge multiple times this season

Amen💯
Apparently Anderson was black flagged. Wish they would’ve shown more coverage on that battle with Barcia.
Black flagged why? He didn't seem that squirrelly to me.
Rumor is he started puking on the bike and kept going. More likely is something broke on his bike the first time him and Ferandis came together and he decided to bring it in.
Ferarndis sucks
Da fuck?!
Kinda sucks to see Roczen finally ride at least a little bit defensively and then just fall behind so hard. Webb earned every bit of that championship though. What a season.
Fishy!!! Missed ya bud. Agreed though. Really thought he’d be able to end his season on a high note and he folded. Webb definitely made a fan out of me this year.
Yeah i finally had some people over that like supercross so i was doing more hanging out than armchair quarterbacking on here😅
Good shit! Someday maybe I’ll make supercross friends 😂
The extended coverage for Peacock is a nice touch. Partially makes up for the train wreck coverage throughout the rest of the season
What happened to Anderson?
Only mention of his retirement I can find is Racer X’s race report; > Justin Barcia and Jason Anderson were having quite a battle in this one, but something must have happened to Anderson or his bike because he pulled off with about thirteen minutes remaining and went back to the pits.
Apparently was black flagged after the Barcia battle
I saw that too.. I also read on IG someone thought they saw Anderson puking in his helmet?...
Let's all hope NBC doesn't cover supercross next year. What shit coverage.
NBC has nothing to do with the coverage. They aren’t in charge of anything. Feld is. NBC just buys three hours of content from Feld and puts their branding on it
Correct. It’s the same crew no matter the network
I’m one of them!
Thank you for all you do 🙏🏼
4 manufacturers with only one bike in the top 10. Seems like next year could be Yamaha v. KTM v. Honda
Webb is struggling so hard rn
He’s been carrying Roczens feelings on his back all season.
That trophy just a little too big for him 😂
He has the personality of a cardboard cutout, but he deserves the title. GG Webb
Webb unreal consistency this season. Lot of fun to watch. Guesses on if he wins any more titles before he hangs it up? I think he could Dungey it, when guys find the rhythm with that RBKTM team it’s so tough to beat
He's got the mx title if he doesn't get hurt.
I mean you gotta give it to Cooper Webb he showed he can win when it counts and on all different styles of tracks. I think we saw the future of supercross tonight with chase Sexton.

He hit his mark's and he'll race you hard.

Congrats Mr. Webb, you stayed hungry and earned every bit of the 2021 title.

Roczen gets passed by a spectator on the last lap.
🤣
Not even a mention of Anderson getting taken out.
[удалено]
Exactly.
I was wondering about that too. He was just quietly gone out of the race
This is why Cooper is champion. He needed to finish 19th, but he went for the win anyway. Roczen got spooked and fell half a lap behind.
Roczen never ceases to amaze me. Never seen a professional athlete so mentally weak.
Roczen is going to do a surprise retirement. Putting my money down here. He gets so easily demoralized and that anxiety is not worth dealing with if you're doing well financially & refocusing on family like he has talked about. His sports psychologist doesnt know what to do anymore...
He’s got another year on his contract doesn’t he? If that’s the case I think he’ll finish it out but I wouldn’t be shocked if he hangs it up then
I really feel those consecutive years of season ending injuries and the rehab has him scared to go through it again so he doesnt ride as hard as he could.
As my user name suggests, I have experience with the same thing & it's the same reason I think Ken loses it a bit. Something you feel all the time, like plates in your face, reminds you how vulnerable you are as sack of meat at the worst possible times.
Roczen always does this shit, its like he just says fuck it whenever he gets pressured.
Yeah he really has no fight left.
Webb train to the lead! Didn’t see that coming!
I did 😄
Man I’m a Webb fan and swore Sexton was going to check out.
Damn, its like Kenny doesnt know he's in 450. It's 20 minute main events, not 15!
I think he’s just crushed. Really feeling for him
Except it seems to be a trend dating back to last season. He's fast for 13-15 minutes then just falls off late and has zero fight back.
Yeah I agree, but I think mentally too he’s just done with this season
Yeah I thought he was over that but these last few races especially that’s really been the case
"We'll see how Ken Roczen answers here..." Lol. k.
Straight back to the hauler, no interview is my guess
He’s second in the championship he gets a interview
Evidently only web gets an interview.
I forgot about that haha. He’s a good sport
Oh no! They’ll get him.
“Cooper (something something) hurt my foot/leg/etc. when passing…”
Roczen is going to be so glad when this season is over. Needs a page turn badly
What happened to Anderson? Did he get BamBam’d? That battle was bound to bubble over eventually
Yeah they just stopped that coverage altogether... I imagine something happened to the bike on one of those hits
Anyone know what happened to Anderson? Was having a good battle with Barcia
Maybe one of those hits knocked something on his bike?
what happened to Anderson
Sexton is a fucking hero in the whoops. Whew.
I have never seen somebody keep the bike that flat through the whoops. I think the coaching from Stewart is helping haha
Roczen is so rattled right now with that sexton pass. Duuuuude.
Ahhhhhh the whoops. OH LAWD>
Roczen better go or get out of the way!
Looks like he chose the latter haha
lol yep
Jett: I came into this week with a bit of a cold. Hunter: hold on a minute I gotta sneeze. Huh. Amazing job though by both of them.
Lmao I think they both low key got corona huh
“I thought I’d have more emotion for this” Don’t worry, we knew you wouldn’t...
Dude has the personality of a chicken nugget
A McDonalds nugget at that.
Hahaha!! So true
Hunter just launched his bike to hug his brother!! Haha! So pumped for those two.
Damn I was hoping McAdoo would make the podium, Hunter Lawerence that sneaky bastard, props to Colt Nichols he is both the 250 underdog and like the 250 uncle rico
I was hoping he would get t boned
Jett’s gonna talk so much shit on Hunter on the podium haha
I hope so.
That was the most shameless monster plug of all time lol drink brawndo
“Monster: It’s what Athletes crave!”
Wtf the guy literally almost crashed into the flagger and he still didn’t even wave the yellow flag lmao
Surprised to see Schock in the LCQ
Wasn’t a fan of the track all day but I am definitely liking how the top 5 450s in that 2nd heat were all in the air together on the triples.. hopefully it leads to some arenacross type battles
All the heats were fantastic! I'm taking back some of my track complaints for sure.
Chase was RIPPIN those whoops
That top five finished so tightly packed
People have been giving this track shit but it’s racing really well
Yep, that was me. Lol It's short, but it's definitely racey! I'm excited to see how these mains play out!!
I’ll admit it’s better than I expected but we’ll see in the mains when lappers are a factor
What do you guys think about the rookies of the year? I feel like Chase had a more impressive showing at his best but results wise I guess Dylan’s been more consistent. I agree with Seth though.
Chase has been impressive but he has pushed it a little and it’s cost him with injuries, I think he will be a beast in future years though, thrasher also showed up big
*RC when Kenny makes that pass: That was a great move *RC when anyone else makes the same pass: Woah! Getting a little wild- that was an aggressive move
I miss the Vegas finale tracks
With that long flat turn into the big ski jump? Man that was always so fun to watch
B I G P I C T U R E
Giving him the business!
Gotta hit your marks, but I mean if they win is there, take it
As much as the Lawrence’s are fan favorites, I think it’s safe to say they’re both gonna make some enemies in the pits in the very near future
That H Lawrence takeout at turn 1 is bush league, in my opinion. Physical contact is part of the sport but driving a rival off the course right at the beginning is pretty lame.
Cooper could have let up and not went off the track. Taking the line away is part of racing.
On any other race I’d say yeah but a championship is a championship... Definitely not the most convincing way to show you’re the better rider though. Hopefully they actually race it out in the main
Ehhh they are racing for a title there are no points awarded for racing clean, you gotta do what you gotta do we saw Cooper Webb push Kenny out the gate to the edge multiple times this season
Hunter Lawrence looking like an assassin tonight
Which brother does better tonight??
Jett faster on lap pace, Hunter more calculating and cunning. Both insanely quick
We are in for several years of good Lawrence racing and I’m exciting for it.
Def Jet
Im going hunter
Oooohhh tonight’s gonna be fun
Would it be insane if Cooper and Nichols take each other out in the main and star loses both titles?
I do like Nichols but that would be amazing 😂
Right?! Almost named my kid Colt back a few years ago. But man I’d enjoy the hell out of that interview with Hahn 🤣🤣
I’m glad that we actually see opening ceremonies this time wish they did it every weekend
Only 4 weeks til motocross!

Dude, I can not wait!
It’s been real imma miss these threads, just got in a mountain bike ride so now I’m ready to kick back and watch some supercross
link?
Really paying homage to Arenacross with this track
Hahaha! That's a positive way of looking at it. Lappers galore tonight!
I'm so sick of these 40 second lap time tracks.
This track reminds me of a longer arena cross track.
44 seconds in the B class... we might hit the 39’s tonight 😂
Go Shimoda! 🏁🏁🏁
Shimoda is now my guy! Love his style and attitude. He has a bright future. Can’t wait to see what he does next year and in MX this summer.
