It was more than that... that was a 450 track, without a doubt, but he somehow pulled the start from the inside gate during both his both his motos, how he got the jump and didn't get swallowed up half way to the corner and get pinched off is beyond me...and then proceeded to put over a minute on everyone, including RC (although he was sick). Hell, he had almost a minute after going down and getting going again, he could of taken a coffee break and still won. It was absolutely ridiculous...i know during that time the PC kawi was basically a cheater bike in the class (FC Honda at the time and other teams had Mitch doing their engines for them, we saw what happened once they went in house. Why they thought Mitch would build them what he gives his team is head scratching..), it was a ticking time bomb at the time but was light years ahead of everyone else in terms of power and performance... but even so, it was still a long ways off from being a factory or WORKS 450, especially off the starts or going up those hills. He did something I'd say was absolute bullshit if I didn't see it happen... rode the outsides and I'd say carried momentum, but I don't think the throttle ever backed off the stopper, he rode it like a 125.

I agree, I'm glad he has that show with Ricky, it I think has helped keep him in people's minds because yeah, he's just as gnarly as any of those guys. He raced against James, Dungey, Kenny, Tomac, he was there with all those guys and spanked em.

Underrated? The whole entire moto community worships this guy and he can do no wrong.

@HoleshotPizza322 nah he's underrated as a rider for sure. He is NOT considered in the goat conversation because of his short career and that's bogus. He is in fact underrated. Your own hate doesn't change the fact
