Vancouver Saturday looked like "business as usual" for the Amp'd Mobile World Supercross GP, round 2. The protests from the previous week were handed out and put away by now and things seems to have settled down. People either agree or don't and its on with the racing.
Stewart suited up and was OK in practice - just not as aggressive yet due to his very sore foot.
Carmichael had a quiet but good week he says and he came out in the first practice ready to take some names, but so did Chad Reed. The two checked each others speed a little in the first practice, but RC had faster lap times.
Vancouver has that famous/infamous "moon dirt." It's loose and doesn't pack well so it makes ruts, and it's jammed full of rocks. People are still pulling them out and tossing them to the side. The track looks a little flat in places as a result. "The dirt looks like volcano ashes," said Vuillemin.
Lites will be a very strong race. Last week's winner Davalos is here, and Osborne. Sobe/No Fear/Samsung brought Sipes and Weimer, and Makita Suzuki brought Dungey. Plus Troy Adams is back. He should have done well last weekend and just fell.
Makita Suzuki hasn't lost hope that Tedesco can still make Anaheim. He has three broken fingers from last week but they are clean breaks.
