Clueless, Arlington 3: Is This a “Must-BLANK” Situation?

The last couple of weeks have proved that if you give a holeshot to a rider with ‘Cooper’ in their name, that rider makes it a pretty boring race. Arlington 2 proved that for Mr Webb, while Arlington 3 (too soon to call it A3?) showed that Justin is the cream of this talented ‘west’ coast crop. I hope neither take offense that it’d be better, if they start around fourth place when the series resumes in Atlanta for another *ahem* residency, but truly, that is what us fans want.

• Serious question, did anyone think Roczen would hold off Webb for the whole race?

• Other than RC, I mean

• If ever there was a “must-BLANK” situation, that was it

• The 250 race was pretty damn boring…

• Except for Hunter launching into the nets

• Which they actually showed on replay during the race (mainly because nothing else happened)

• It is nice when a positive step for rider safety works though

• Not a fan of the usage of the word ‘residency’

• Speaking of fans… where was Rutledge?

• Was he too busy doing 15-minute monologues on other podcasts?

• Why has it taken so long to get a decent set of whoops

• Although they could still be longer

• I appreciate that Monster needs to be in the broadcast every 3.7 seconds but a split-screen showing a “battle” for 8^th between the Yamaha riders while Roczen, Webb, Tomac and Barcia are going at it?

• Definitely not needed

• Besides, you’ve got Todd Harris saying the word every mid-sentence

• It seems wrong that Coty Schock only gets mentioned when he crashes, despite getting good starts

• I don’t really think Sexton can be blamed for Webb winning

• Webb was just being Webb

• Before the final west coast round, can the AMA make sure to penalise the top riders so that Cooper, McAdoo and Lawrence are on the same points?

• Two weekends off, are you kidding me?

• It’s almost like we want the riders to come into a race fresh or something?!
