We all know the Villopoto who can carve his way through the pack to get 3 consecutive National Titles and to come from midpack to amke up 16secs on Alessi at Glen Helen last year leaves no questions about his ability on the big bike
But why can't he make the passes in Supercross. All the races he has won have seem to be the ones he has been in the top 3 out of the gate.
It could be as easy as saying the field is stacked this year and maybe he's just not as good at SX than MX but if thats the case how did he manage to pull off the fastest lap time of the night, a 48.9, when the majority of his laptimes were in the 50's and 51's?

As far as sx vs mx: SX-tight one lined slick tracks with 15-20 minute main events. MX-35 minute motos longer/wider tracks. Do the math which is easier to come from behind on?
The Shop
The fastest rider does not always win in SX.
jump-jump-turn
1 good line through the short whoop section
MX is much more enjoyable than SX, but hey, it's winter !
even Stewart gets hurt riding at that level in SX
The top 4 guys are relatively close in speed.
We got spoiled by RC, Bubba, and Reed carving up everybody in front of them when they got a poor start.
They both have their place.
Pit Row
One lined, No bermed, dry ass, follow the leader rhythms, nowhere to really block pass, piece of shit...
Big ass stadium with the year's smallest track... Go somewhere else, or change the track and run 20 min motos at SX races... PATHETIC!!!
pack on last year. I just can't remember seeing that race. Can someone enlighten me.
Saturday nights race was 16min.35sec. for 20 laps. I don't think were getting our moneys worth. There shouldn't be a track in the series that is less than a 55 sec. fast
lap.Your not going to see much passing or anyone coming through the pack on a track
like Dallas. Only 2 riders moved up more than 3 positions from their 1st lap position. Are they trying to make it so the only way you can pass is to stuff someone. I for one was
not very impressed with what was supposed to be a impressive venue. Like many of you
I can't wait for the Great Outdoors.
That track was so narrow. I am assuming they ran out of dirt.
I hear everyone say that RV is the new RC, but RC could come through the pack, from last to top 3 after a bad start and RV can not. New RC? I don't think so.
RV can't even come through the pack even a thin as the field is right now.
Can't James Stewart come from last to first?
