racer254 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Talk about a year full of injuries. Tomac just ruptured his achilles in Denver. Sexton probably just got handed the championship. Worse may be the fact that this may end Tomac's career. That's going to be a long recovery. Edited May 8, 2023 by racer254 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 My boy Roczen has had a good year, and Sexton has ridden great as well. But yeah, a ton of injuries this year. The speculation is whether Tomac comes back or just calls it quits. Was bummed about Barcia too. Got to ride practice with him at Binghamton about 15 years ago before he went pro. Friggin guy just never lets off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosting Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I wonder if this type of thing will become more common place in the future. The riding style has changed, guys ride with there toes on the pegs now to make them react on the bike better. Landing off these big G-outs puts major strain on the ankles and tendons. Hopefully it's not a trend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomac was such a machine you rarely saw him make mistakes like that, and still, at that level those guys make some saves that would have had me splat back when I was racing.

SlugsOnSleds Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 IMO...Biggest news this season is KR94 on the kickstarter ZUK...And JB51 on the GasGas...Cant believe this might be Hondas 1st SX Championship on a 4s in 20 years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
