I know all the GP fan boys are hoping he was/is going to smoke everyone so they can do the whole “he was barely top 5 in MX2, and he’s winning in America...see? GP’s are better. Told ya so!” thing.
“It was a solid first weekend for me,” Covington said. “I was definitely a little bit nervous and tight throughout the whole day but each session got a little bit better and I squeaked into the Main Event in the heat. In the Main Event, I just went out and had as much fun as I could out there and it turned out pretty good. I was happy with how the bike was working and everything, just have to get back to work this week and hopefully progress next weekend.”
It took him some time to adapt to the GP's as well so I wouldn't hold my breath on him being up front at SX. He needs to gain experience and stay healthy and come out blazing next year.
so what about A1 in 2018? Do we not count Cooper's 9th place in that? I mean Covington got 11th in his first SX but that's completely lackluster compared with Cooper's 9th?
I'm confused....
EDIT... and just for the record, I have nothing against Cooper, I was very impressed when I saw him at the USGP and although I'm not 100% sure he is the future , he is a very talented kid.
Is Herlings the same guy that got roasted by Webb? Or handled by Anderson before Anderson had ever even won an outdoor 450 moto in the US? Reality buddy, reality.
Frankly, I am a big Covington fan, but he got worked... A multi-time GP winner barely qualified for the main. And was quite slow compared to the front guys. Outdoors will be better for Covington, it has to be...
Dont think racing at Lommel etc gives you any advantages on a SX track
i think , 11th at his very first race is very decent , i mean he isnt Prado or Herlings talented
so lets be real ... i dont see him winning SX races at all ... top 5 maybe in time on a track and maybe a podium in future . But he could do better outdoors i think ..
and with Osborne i meant the Osborne who left the MXGP ... i did think you would be smart enough to get that as both have similar careers ...
Pit Row
He now knows where he stands with the competition.He knows what he needs to work on to improve his lap times.
It was a good first race,and definitely something he and his team can build on.
Troll? HAHAHA!!! Whatever...
While unrelated to this topic, I'll just say that with the 450 points race and the number of fast guys in the 250 class even though we thought it took a hit, I have never been more interested and impatient waiting for the next Saturday night to come...
