Yep, I was there and I can tell you that Langston can fly. He seemed to charge harder through the entire course than anyone else. I think Travis might have his hands full this year.
I saw the Bonds slow-down, but it was pretty far away from me. It looked like Bonds went for the inside line on a left turn and Langston shut the door on him. I do remember seeing Bonds slide way up to the front end of his bike, so it's possible he did some damage to his ribs. He was having no trouble keeping up with Langston and it was great watching him try and set up a couple of passes. He definitely wasn't afraid of Langston.
