Couldn't watch Atlanta live as we do not receive Speed channel here in England and any live stream seemed to harder to find than a small British girl in the Algarve. So I caught up with the main events on YouTube and I have to say Cole Seely was the f'n man!
I said in my original post, I'm a Honda guy through and through, I just love the red machines, and Cole Seely has been my pick for the west coast lites title this year after he came out swinging at Anaheim 1 (I know, i know, great retrospective there). I also shed a single tear when he went down at A2 whilst leading and I was in the stands. When I heard the #34 was goin to be throwing the 450 around Coke country I was pumped, and you can imagine how much of a semi I was nursing when he holeshot the main.* When laps 2 and 3 passed and Cole was still holding his own against Ryan Dungey, I wasn't sure that my under pant elastic was going to hold.
Dude rode good, holding off Dungey for 7 laps before fading to a 6th place finish in his first ride aboard the factory bike. Seely also showed great maturity by not trying to mess up the race for championship contenders whilst battling with them. So how's he goin to fare in the next few races, well I think we'll see a stronger Cole Seely for all 20 laps at the next couple of rounds and I see him drinking a muscle milk on the podium before he drops a couple hundred cc's at Seattle in 7 weeks. That just happened my friend, That. Just. Happened.
