New Orleans: Barcia Wraps It Up In The Big Easy (Your Mum)


Here's the low down from New Orleans, on a track that probably had the best sand section for comedy crashes all year. Read on:

Lites
  • The Ewok warrior, Alex martin, holeshots and the holds on for a steady 19th. Wait...what?
  • Durham grabs an early lead, pulls out, jumps over corners, gets gang banged by some tuff blocks and still wins it. Double D is on. Has to get the auto cue on the podium to remember the sponsors.
  • RC, Ralph and Emig discuss how great Mookie is doing before he cartwheels through the whoops. Commentators curse anyone?
  • Bogle is makin' moves. Standard.
  • The goon is back! Wharton gets lapped.
  • Roczen goes back to the German way. 350 next week Ken? Boom!
  • Barcia just cruses to an easy 4th and a second East Coast Championship just because he can. Laid!

450's
  • Villopoto, heat win, holeshots main, wins main. Yawn. (I could have copy and pasted this from most of the other race recaps but I typed it cos that's how things get done around here!)
  • Tedesco and Short are back! Hot Sauce gets bummed in the LCQ and has to miss the main, while Shorty puts the Red bike back in the top 5.
  • Brayton gets into it with Metcalfe and Short and then Metcalfe again. Not scared.
  • Alessi throws away a podium by trying to block pass a back lapper. Oh dear, oh dear. What's Tony goin to say?
  • Weimer goes out of the race, probably due to the shame of having to wear that fugly neck brace of his.
  • Josh Grant gets 2nd! Dude looks old on the podium, like a GNCC rider.

Done and done.
