CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "I was laughing about talk of Eli's possibility of a 'perfect' season. How difficult is that with so many dedicated riders at this point?" High Point Motocross Holy crap, those last four laps of the 450 moto two had me on the edge of my seat! Musquin got so close. It was great to see Marvin get that first-moto win. And how about Justin Hill back on the 450? Languish- ing midpack on the 250, now in the top 10. [He's a] great guy; met him quite a few times locally during his amateur days. I was laughing about talk of Eli's possibility of a "perfect" season. How difficult is that with so many dedicated riders at this point? Not impossible, but kind of early to be mention- ing something with the word perfect in it. Roczen getting his racing fit- ness back is exciting to watch. And so many out with injuries, the competition has been stifled a little, but Tomac, Mus- quin, Roczen and Barcia going at it, it's been pretty good so far. Here's to the current line up staying healthy. John A. Stockman So, has Eli decided to go just fast enough to win, or is Marvin pushing him to maybe cause a dismount? I hope the points tighten up a little. Dan Connolly Eli has a 28-point lead, but with so many of the top-10 or so riders out with injuries, it kinda takes some of the edge off the fierce competition we've seen in the past. Anderson, Webb, Seely, Bogle, Tickle, Craig, Grant and Wilson—all missing— represent a lot of talent. James Bunn Jorge Lorenzo The geniuses at Ducati: "Lo- renzo, you've been here a full season and three races. You haven't won yet, so there's no way it could be your equipment or team. You'll have to take a pay cut if you want to keep your job here." Lorenzo: "That's okay, now that I think I got your bike fig- ured out for you, I'll be going to HRC. I'll leave you a few wins to remember me by. Bahaha!" Adam Wright Zero FX Review Thank you for a refreshingly honest review. Suspension and brakes are already available fully sorted. There is no excuse for poor quality here. Let's hope Zero rethinks this model, as it has the potential to be a great bike. Ed Stovin P6 Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com.
