Seattle 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.
Seattle was back on the calendar after two years off because of the world pandemic.A city and a stadium that have often produced major spectacle.This year, a little less ... After several breathtaking events, we went from Hell's Fest to dancing tea on Saturday evening, despite a field certainly short when it comes to the times on the turn but still rather interesting,With in particular the two big sequences very strong before the Whoops, especially the one just before with its 4/3/3 frankly not easy.Enchairs that cost us Chase Sexton for the evening, and could also have taken Cooper Webb at tests.The Whoops themselves were visibly unmanageable, even for some of the best world pilots!

This showpony has the chic to perfectly summarize the evening in a short time.
And for the fifth time in a row (!!!) Eli Tomac has established itself, which gives us seven victories on twelve races, 44 in total, like Chad Reed ... What more can we say, if not only our manis the best this year, quite simply.Again in quiet mode in Heat, Eli then succeeded in the hardest in the final by making the Holeshot, and by taking a tour after turn the famous big sequence before the Whoops, then punishing them at each pass as aAngry bear mom.The clever mixture between power, aggressiveness and finesse in its piloting is a treat not only to look at, but is also proof of the confidence displayed by tomac in its machine.With now 54 points ahead, as much to say that the championship is folded and and 3 goes straight to a very deserved second title SX.Sacred job.
After an improbable series of three events made of racing incidents and/or bad decisions, Jason Anderson needed, in his own words, "to relaunch himself in this championship".What he succeeded in beautiful way, even if he took advantage of these famous "racing facts" this time.But he also knew how to show up, winning his Heat, first, then taking a good start.And he was then able not to crack under the frustration of not managing to keep the pace of Justin Barcia in front of him.However, we can easily imagine that he would have liked to go hug at JB51.Obviously, it was not in his strings today, and Ja21 therefore adopted a conservative tactic, for once, to get on the podium.It turns out that Barcia helped him set up a higher walk by falling alone.Suddenly, El Hombre recovers alone the second place of the provisional for five points, after one day without a hitch.Just what he needed.It is definitely very solid this season.Too bad to have lost as many crucial points from Arlington and this series of places (9/21/6) which weighed down its hopes of putting pressure on Eli.
A second podium in a row for Marvin Musquin, the third of the season.Definitely, Seattle succeeds in him.Leaving third behind Tomac and Barcia, he quickly was overflowed by Anderson, but managed to contain Malcolm Stewart all the Channel, which is not given nothing of the American speed of the American.And this despite very complicated passages in the Whoops, which made him lose contact with the head group.MM25 therefore recovers a happy podium following the fall of Barcia, but still had to stay in front, and he managed to do it.A solid final if not shiny, and good points taken.
Undoubtedly a little stirred by his crash last week, Malcolm Stewart did not spread his usual potential in the Whoops and did not have this Saturday the Mojo he had on a few occasions this season.The fact remains that we are in the mouth with a fourth place of Mookie, proof that he has changed status this season.And that the tray still begins to miss factory drivers, also.
Justin Barcia was still gone to get us a sacred final in Seattle, after winning his Heat in an authoritarian way.Second behind Eli from the first turn, the Gasgas driver tried everything to take the wheel in the first laps.And even if he was forced to see the big blue leave as we look at a boat moving away from the platform, he was largely safe for the second position when he fell.And he got a good one, with that!Fortunately, moreover, that he "passes" the bump with his body rather than crashing on it, the outcome could have been different.But I don't teach you that the boy is the dyed type.The proof, he managed to contain the return of Cooper Webb, despite a machine that looked well.And it is not given to everyone.
The defending champion Cooper Webb, already started by his fall two weeks ago, fell violently at the tests, on the "Sexton" sequence.In the hard one, at the moment, the coop ’.Author for once of an execrable departure, he did not let go of anything from the first in the last round to seek this sixth place.As usual'.Sacred fighter, the boy ...
The American realization being what it is, namely not terrible, we have not seen much of the rest ... The patter the American guen visibly enjoying showing us the evening promenade of Eli Tomac at the expense of the few fights behind.Shame.
We still know that Dean Wilson equal to Seattle his best performance of the year, seventh ... by taking a tour by Eli Tomac, his best enemy when they were both in Lites.This is what happens when you injure yourself year after year: you waste time and energy to rebuild yourself and come back rather than building.It is also significant of the set still standing.Because after Justin Bogle (not bad), Mitch Oldenburg (same) and Brandon Hartranft, it is the paradise of the private.And as usual, it is this good old Kyle Chisholm, however destroyed a crash this week, which is the best way in front of Justin Starling and Ryan Breece.Austin Politelli took advantage of this Koh-Lanta of factory pilots to make his first final of the season, congratulations to him.Kevin Moranz, Prince of Bercy, participated in the animation of the evening, with a beautiful block-failed block on Clason in Heat, then a fantastic ride in the last round of the LCQ.Beautiful score!But one more final for the young person, still.
Speaking of private, Logan Karnow was made by a sponsor too good to be honest and was therefore planted.A great classic of SX/MX, you yourself know.He was therefore on the street, Karnow, (Got It?) When Hannah Ray (no link with Alex), a woman before, offered to help him financially in exchange for visibility on the youth of the young.Now at the head of an apparently very remunerative Onlyfans account, she was the title sponsor of Logan in Indy as in Seattle.A beautiful story, even classified X.
Category 250 Seattle
Category 250, back with Western pilots, saved the evening in terms of entertainment during this little Seattle.With a new race in the race, after the harmless Pugilat Ray/Raper last week.This time, it was Lucky Blackburn who did not appreciate a slight excess of optimism of Max Sandford.Knee blows, strangulation attempt and cramps with fingers, stretched very high, luck did not have one and was called to rest in the stands, for obvious reasons.Not good, steroids at too high doses!
When two relous gets confused to your quiet evening ...
After this entertaining appetizer, the more the victory in the Heat by Vince Friese, who released the caravan so as not to pretend to be a nate Thrasher disoriented by so many touts, we told ourselves that something could happen inThis final, after all.An enthusiasm quickly showered by the Holeshot of Christian Craig, evil in the Whoops in Heat.We were waiting for the Californian veteran alone, and he too obviously.Suddenly, it was annoyed to feel the pressure of a very incisive Michael Mosiman behind.Who ended up finding the opening, with a very slight contact which left CC28 on the ground.A avoidable action, in my opinion, if Christian had resolved to give way, even momentarily.But no, he wanted to insist like boss, and paid him.
Suddenly, it is this fox of Hunter Lawrence surfaces which signs a victory like Pippo Inzaghi one of his goals: in clever well placed.However, let him pay tribute, he had the same speed as the other two, with passages in the Whoops sufficiently fast and clean.Hunter is a solid, with experience at the highest level and it can be seen.He won his second final of the season, his third in all, and returned to Mosiman in the championship.The Lawrence clan has just pocketed a fourth consecutive victory by counting those of Jett, the equivalent of the GDP of a (small) state.A beautiful story, when we remember that the father had to feed on sliced bread only, in a heating without heating.True story.The bet paid, congratulations to them.
Returning second after a superb ascent, His Majesty "Kwichtiinene" Craig said he was "bitter" about the situation, judging that he had come out.Hmm, of course, there was certainly a slight contact, but nothing compared to the multiple incidents of previous weeks.SX, what.To the point that we wonder if he would not play it a little diva on this one, our red plate, and a vexed hair to have been jostled by the impetuous mosiman.Nothing to worry in any case with regard to the championship.With 26 points ahead, he has a final final.Calm.
Michael Mosiman, therefore, continues in his role as a half-aged agitator half-incredible. Rapide, quoi qu’il en soit !Shame qu’il ait tordu son disque de frein arrière dans le contact, ce qui l’a obligé à rouler le reste de la course sans, l’arrière se bloquant quelques instants quand il l’utilisait.Difficult situation.But again, he can start from Seattle with good to shoot.
We quickly go on a return shimoda, but not at the top.A Vincer Vincese winner in Heat and Top 5 in the final, solid.A Garrett Marchbanks very badly gone but the author of a beautiful rise to sixth place.And a Chris Blose always there when the conditions and the Whoops are difficult.
A word on Nate Thrasher, only eleventh despite a great start to the race.The star driver has nothing to show in terms of results despite good speed and a certain potential.Frustrating for a double winner last year as a rookie!
Next week, rest, before returning to the east coast, in Saint Louis, the next.
