Caught the last 10 minutes of the 250 second moto last night and I have to say that Blake Baggett was as smooth and fast as anyone I have ever seen on a MX track. The speed and momentum he carried thru every turn was fun to watch. He handled the long deep ruts with ease. This guy will be a 450 champion in the coming years.
He sure is fun to watch! He's made some ridiculous passes this year.
I guess for many of the riders (Tomac), Washougal is hard to pass on. But it's fun for the fans to watch all the riders going so darn fast on such a beautiful track.
Sure wasn't in my listing.... I searched the entire week on NBC Sports... nada.
Barsha has been turning it up big time... seemed like the first few rounds he was laying back?
As mentioned, Baggett, if he translates to the big bikes, is someone to watch! That dude can go and does! Was it Millville jumping into the whoops? Seriously?
I've been missing some moto2's as well, including this 250 race. Props to Alessi, I was on the edge of my seat from the gate. It was kinda funny how RD dissed Alessi at the finish. Alessi kept stopping and wanting to get some kind of respect/response from RD, and he looked dumbfounded waving his arms in the air. I know RD is a cool kid, so he must have been pretty disappointed at himself.

I saw the RD / Alessi thing differently. I think RD was surprised that Mike stopped, he eventually stopped himself... then Alessi went for a *hug*... come on. They're competitors.
The 2nd 250 moto was not in the listing when I searched Saturday and Sunday morning. Late Sunday nite it was there, caught the last 10 minutes of racing. With all of the great season expectations, it has not been riviting. When all the big guns are healthy it will be spectacular. The Monster Cup should be outstanding.
