The only reason Tomac won was because Bangio Boy had to pass more people because of bad starts.Its a lot harder to move up through the pack in the 250 class.

Yea the only reason he won was he got a good start and put in solid laps untill he checked out, in BOTH motos. Seriously man theres no excuses he just rode better.

@Fred,

That's a moronic thing to say. That's like saying the only reason Michael Jordan ever won an NBA championship is because his competition had to play against harder teams in the playoffs. How about Tomac won BECAUSE he IS a great rider? What was the reason Tomac won a Supercross title? Was it his skill and talent, or was it because the rest of the competition got bad starts too? Maybe they should work on their starts then so they don't have to use the excuse that they "Got a bad start." Don't get me wrong, I like Baggett, but even Baggett mentioned that Tomac was running his pace and he couldn't catch him, so he backed it down. Can't stand people that make excuses...even if it's on another person's behalf. But if...., But if....., But if.......Frickin' drop the excuse act already and give credit where credit is due. If Baggett wins next week, I'll be the first to say he smoked everybody and give him props!

Of couse he couldn't put in the lap times because he was in traffic passing 12-15 riders while Tomac had to pass like 5 people then was able to check out.What I said is a straight up fact.Any dum ass should be able to see this. He didn't even get in to second place until like the last lap.He was never able to put in good clean traffic free laps.I don't care what you say Bangio Boys is faster than Tomac in the outdoors.If the two stay healthy you'll see who's fastest.Might not though because Baggett is not a good starter.If he was a good starter like Barcia he would be killing this class.

fred,

You're no ordinary dumb ass are you? You are obviously blind. Who's fault is it that Baggett had to pass 12-15 people? It's Baggett's fault. He had to pass 12-15 people at his own expense. That's exactly my point. Tomac had to pass 5 and Baggett had to pass 15. So who was the better rider that day? Tomac was f**kin better because he won the race you moron. It's Baggett's fault. He didn't get a good start. And if starts are a weakness for him, then that's his problem and it's foolish to say..."errrrrr, Baggett would have won if (enter your bogus scenario here)." IF, SCHMIFF! That's the equivalent of saying Tiger Woods would have won the Masters Tournament if he didn't bogey so many holes. Your argument doesn't hold water. And, no disrespect to Baggett. I really like that kid. The guy is freakin' fast. I just don't like you making excuses for him.
