In short, taking every task off the table besides the actual riding. Having recovery fluids, someone to rub out muscles, and someone making sure your equipment is clean and ready all make a huge difference. The teams and support staff are critical on nights like this Saturday. I can assure you the latter is more comforting. I've been in both scenarios, where I was a bit out of shape and didn't feel anywhere near ready for another race, and also been at peak fitness, knowing I was ready to lay it on the line again. Ideally, they won't be sweating anymore and their bodies will be ready for another push. ![]() They need to be able to get their heart rate down and back to a neutral spot before it's time to go again. These Triple Crown races are full sprints. I hope they stay around for the long term.Īs for the differences the 250 guys might feel, it will be in their ability to recover between races. These Triple Crown events do add a nice wrinkle, though. The fitness required for the last five minutes of a 450 main event can't be understated (not to mention the mental focus). ![]() The long main events of a traditional schedule bring an aspect that we would otherwise lose. I don't think they’re manageable for an entire series, nor do I think it would be a good idea if they were. The night doesn't have any lags or moments where I find myself bored. The nonstop meaningful racing is hard to beat. Most fans I talk to love these Triple Crown events, and I do too. Pro Perspective (Jason Thomas)Īnother Triple Crown event is upon us, and the first go-round for the East Coast 250 crew. Let’s start Racerhead with some words from Jason Thomas on Triple Crown prep…. And don’t forget to check Racer X Online all day long for Breaking News, a full up-to-the-minute race report, timing and scoring, and more, as well as all of our social media channels. ET and will continue through the LCQ events the actual night program will begin at 8 p.m. Race Day Live starts on Peacock at 2:30 p.m. It will be interesting to see how he fares in the Triple Crown format, though he hasn’t appeared tired at all in the two regular-format races he’s run, finishing fourth each time to hold third in the standings.Īdd it all up and tomorrow sounds like it will be a very big day for the ’23 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Well, Hunter started with two wins in the East, and tomorrow will mark his first Triple Crown round of the series.…Īnd of course we’ll also all be keeping an eye out for Haiden Deegan as the much-ballyhooed (and downright impressive) rookie gets another race under his belt. Something to keep in the back of your mind: little brother Jett started the 250SX West Region with two wins, then lost the first Triple Crown race of the series. With the 250 SX East Region, it means the return of the other Lawrence brother, Hunter, and his red-plated Honda CRF250R. And everyone is still waiting for class newcomers like Christian Craig and Colt Nichols to also move up to where many expected them to be. As for Sexton, he should have won the last two rounds and should also have the red plate, but late-race, unforced errors in the form of all-by-himself crashes have cost him dearly.īehind those three there’s been ongoing drama for both Jason Anderson and Justin Barcia-sometimes together-as they try to find that gear that they certainly have, somewhere, to catch those three up front. Webb seems to be building momentum as the season goes past the one-third mark. That’s kept Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb and Honda HRC’s Chase Sexton within striking distance. In the 450 division, the pursuit of defending champion Eli Tomac will continue, as the #1 Monster Energy Yamaha Star Racing rider has spent the first six rounds either winning (four times) or completely missing the podium (twice). The KTM Juniors and a Stacyc intermission race are scheduled, too, which means pretty much every level of the sport will be represented! Adding even more is the fact that SX Futures will also be part of the program, just like at Anaheim 2. The race will be the second Triple Crown format of ’23 and will also mark the return to the 250SX East Region after last weekend’s western detour for the postponed Oakland round. Tomorrow’s race-the seventh round of what’s been a very interesting and entertaining series in both classes-will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Welcome to Racerhead and another jam-packed weekend for Monster Energy AMA Supercross. ![]()
