Man, a few guys ripped me at the start of the season when I said Tomac may get a win this year. Were are they now?? Great ride by Tomac, he looked good.

OK, I've seen enough. Grandson even asked me why the green guy did that. Cunningham shows patience, respect, and passes Lil Faggot cleanly. Lil Faggot 100% intentionally takes out Kyle. AMA needs to step in on this one. Shits getting old. 7 y/o grandson hates you too Lil Faggot. You couldn't hold a coffee cup to your dad. Too bad, but common story. Mitch, you got more class than paying this clown. Someone needs to take that long hair and wipe his ass with it.

Hansen sucks the big one. What a cheap shot. I hope someone takes him out next race and hurts him enough so he is out of the series.

Ok, Im not saying what Hansen did was right, but man, Cunningham whipped his wheel right at Hanson when he passed him!!!!
It was close! I rewound and watched several to many times...

Have you ever heard of a scrub? he was jumping the finish with too much speed that if he didn't whip the bike he would have landed flat. it wasn't so close that hanson had to clean him out.

Hanson is STILL a goof!!! After being in the lites for almost a DECADE he still has to resort to cleaning guys out... He definitely deserves payback, which I hope he gets next main event!!! I hope he enjoys the moment... it will be his last as next year the young guns WILL leave him and he has NO potential in the 450's!!!

Maybe Hansen was just tweaked out on drugs and that's why he rides like a chooch. I hear he is quite the pill popper. Either way, I really hope some one punched him in the face many times after the race.

I'm having a difficult time believing that move was anything other than a premeditated take-out. It's quite possible Josh Hansen just cost himself his best shot at a championship. Man, I thought for sure this was going to be Roczen's night! What happened??? Good for Eli, this was a very popular win for a future star, especially considering the night's activities. Can't wait to hear how this gets explained.....from both sides......predicting fireworks.

Talking about Hansen, alot of people really ragged on Stewie saying he was dangerous, but his were silly mistakes, but Hanny does this stuff on purpose. The AMA really needs to step in on this..

For all you of wondering what the worst of the late 80's/early 90's looked like, Josh Hansen showed it to you fully. It would seem he has seen fit to become the second coming of Jeff Matasovich, the poster child of the "punk move" rider.

For a while, the crowds cheered when guys who couldn't pass any other way would ram a superior rider into the hay bales but that faded when Jeff Stanton, the cleanest rider of that era, proved the path to championship glory was in being the fastest rider.

Look at those two now. Stanton is a giant in the industry, respected by all. The "other guy"? Who knows and better still, WHO CARES?

I had actually hoped that Hansen might have turned around from his lackluster ways and found something for himself but it would seem all he has found is the path of the punk. Mitch Payton should show that sportsmanship means the most to him and suspend Hansen for the next West round, though I know that is a pipe dream.

We can end this kind of worthless behavior ourselves. Just declare that you will boycott the products of those who sponsor the offending riders. Carry signs like that when you attend the S/X events. Nothing will motivate them to bring pressure on the punks like the thought of losing a buck because of a completely preventable action.

A legitimate championship caliber rider can pass around the outside, they NEVER have to resort to a move that would tarnish their image.

Hmmm. Seems this has turned into a rant about Hansen. (Shocking, I know.) First off, congrats to Eli on a great ride. Also to Rattray for showing some life for the first time since round one. Funny how mud brings out the "Euros." (I know; he's from SA, but he rode GPs for years.) Now for Hanny. Not one person noted that the guy just finished sixth (seventh even w/o "the pass") prior to having his finger plated on Monday. Pretty sure there isn't a "man" out here that could do that. I didn't like the pass, but Cunningham is a wild child himself (most crashes this season?) and who among us knows what might have been going on between those two? AND, Hanny did get the proverbial "wheel" on him; the slippery track definitely exacerbated the chaos ... AND he still didn't LAND on the guy. Again, no one here has been in a position of riding with a broken hand (for the second straight race), desperately trying to maintain a championship lead in a downpour, and his competition for the crown already past. But you all talk a good game.

Oh, and I don't remember this much venom for Sipes or Malcolm last week. Were their moves any cleaner? And they certainly weren't going for a title in the first round of their series. Most of you guys hate on Hansen FAR more than the so-called Stewart haters. He hasn't caused NEAR the injuries. What's up with that?

Seems to me hanny is becoming the next tyler evans..........only a bit less swagger and a bit more hair. As to what happened........well, this is how you race these days. To penalize, would be like the NFL and the helmet to helmet hits.........whose to blame?, and moreso, was it intentional? Motocross, or Supercross, has come a long way. Reaching the top has become as tough as ever. In short races(amateur races) or final laps it often pays to protect the inside, or at least ride the fast line. If for a long time, you'll find you're only slowing down yourself. I'm an MX fan and lesso SX. When the track is tight, what the hell are you gonna do? If the AMA does want to stop this, I suggest making tracks more passable......if that is the right word. Not so many sharp corners. Those that are sharp should be followed by straightaways, not ball-bustin' quadruples that demand everyone ride the outside. I'm sure I could think of alot of other crap but, it's not like I'm gettin' paid for it. There is usually always a mainline. The shortest distance from point a to point b is a straight line. That's why ya gotta love MX. Especially Glen Helen and Southwick 'n' Millville. The main line is of less importance there. Besides San D. was a mud race. In the Mud, especially in corners, you fight for a deep, well-aligned, rut; in corners most of all. Or else you avoid it at all costs......downed riders, fear of downed riders( don't make a parade into a deep rut, it is a good way to pass to), or even getting stuck. I respect those whom use other methods to pass, like RV and the Mad German. They tend to go wherever the guy in front of them doesn't and just bust ass. It can be costly, but it can work. I also believe barcia is becoming a white Bubba. He and Hanny shall have many enemies.

To Tomktm,
Thats hilarious. I just have this mental picture of someone punching Hansen in the face repeatedly. It's making me smile. On another note, bring on the east, I wanna see Barcia plow through people. Hopefully when him and Hansen meet, Barcia will be the one punching him in the face repeatedly.

@sef154 i may not of done that.. but i rode all of the Motocross portion of Mini O's with a freshly broken collar bone.. I might not of gotten a great finish. but i still rode my hardest. so yeah there's a foot in mouth syndrome there...

hansen needs to be penalized for that move. Emig said it how it is. I would really love to see some payback coming in the form of someone punting this long haired a hole off the track. i dont care if hes tring to get a championship or not, are you going to earn that championship by taking cheap shots in the corners when there is no obvious pass there? i think hansen should be credited with klyes position and klye should be 6th. either that or a punch in the face would do it.

Josh Hansen has tried to take out people in the last few races, they include Cole Seeley and also Eli Tomac but they are on too his cheap riding skills. He needs to get out of the pros and go ride with his buddies if he has any...
