CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "It looks like Jonathan Rea will be just fine on his neutered Kawi, maybe not as dominant, though." Phillip Island WorldSBK What a race! It looks like Jona- than Rea will be just fine on his neutered Kawi, maybe not as dominant, though. Howard Halterman "Dornob" needs to make more rule changes to slow the Kawa- saki's down and rig the finish. Remember, Dornob, fans don't want to see honest racing. Adam Wright Tampa Supercross Not a bad race but everybody got spread out toward the end so it turned into a mediocre race. I'm looking forward to another Triple Crown race, something different at least. Coolest moment of the night was Blake Baggett in the net and his cycle remaining up- right. Without the net we might be down another rider. Justin Hill looked strong on the 450. Ken Bateman Justin Hill has figured out the Suzuki bike as of late. He had the fasted lap in the 450 main (48.456 seconds) and to me looked the smoothest. A small mistake on his part set him back, though. Watch out for Hill the rest of the year, I would say. Nice to see a yellow bike fight- ing for podiums again. Andy Kemps Announcer Ken Roczen I enjoyed Ken Roczen an- nouncing the 450SX semi races at the Tampa Supercross with Ralph Sheheen and Jeff Emig. He was not afraid to speak up and talk about what he thought about the other riders and different lines taken and why. I liked his talk about sus- pension setup and why some riders—"American"—choose different setups. Hopefully Fox Sports will invite him back while he heals up. Rick Roelle Electric Race Bikes If the AMA won't spec a playing card in the spokes, hopefully they will mandate a "Blendzall" two-stroke smell emitted for our enjoyment. John McArthur Archives: Jim Pomeroy We got to see Jim Pomeroy race in the Trans-AMA Series. When he came out of the corner we were sitting at, he missed a gear every single lap in both motos. Made me lose any desire to own a Bultaco. Mark Kern Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com. Published letters do not necessarily reflect the position of Cycle News.
