Heat 1 - Lites
Wow, pourcel almost crash in the 1st lap. all very crazy. lots of contact. nuts. track is tight. This first lap is nuts and Friese is leading.
another parade lap
With Bubba, Chad, Short, TP.
nac-nac by TP, then..... back-flip of he finish line.
Intro ceremonies full on right now
Loud cool music, Millsaps turn, then, K-Dub!! Very cool. Nose-wheelie time (oh no).
Buuba comes in to Hells Bells but I'm sure most of you can hear that on the webcast.
What about Travis Pastrana!
The most exciting motorcycle rider comes back to SX, does it because he kind of owe one to the Feld people for wrecking his Monster truck during that MTV's Nitro Circus show. designs the track and clocks a Top 13th time. Forget the talent, this guy hasn't been riding SX forever, his body has seen more than a 60 year-old Marines and qualifes in faste time than Hepler, Wey, Bowers, Sipes, Kiniri.
TP199 Rocks!
All practice finished
It's the big intermission between practices and the night show. The track, despite being very special, didn't eat any rider badly.
In the 450 class, the usual suspects are at the top, Bubba (in 45") followed by Chad Reed, Josh Grant, Josh Hill and Andrew Short.
In the Lites, we have Stroupe, Christophe Pourcel, Lemoine, Izzi and Jesseman. Those guys are in 46" (AS and CP) and 47", the other 3.
Josh Grant did go down but not too bad. Nico Izzi hit his... manhood but remounted.
Important to note that Jason Lawrence is 7th and Travis Pastrana in 13th. good job for the retired motocross, freestyle rider who posted some of the highest ratings on cable television with the Nitro Circus show on MTV.

Lites seeded
Very interesting results. I believe that the second practice session will see some riders trying the triple-triple. Crazy though. Maybe that's one jump that the 250F cannot clear.
Izzi in 47" followed by Lemoine, Pourcel, Stroupe, Jesseman, Goerke, all in the 48".
450 Seeded coming on now.

Practice started in St Louis and more
After an interesting track walk, with lots of very excited and surprised riders, practice has started at the Edward Jones Stadium. The first 2 non-seeded Lites have been out there. Seeded Lites is on right now.Impressive Adam Gulley #286 was the first to double out of the wall, and after a few laps, the first to double-triple that section. Right now, most of the seeded guys are doing that same combo.
The big question is: who will be the first to triple out of the wall and go triple-triple.
Izzi, Pourcel, Goerke, Stroupe are the first ones, in 48 seconds right now.
