Bubba made it back to the SX series this week. Yet another 22nd place finish. Four starts this season, three 22nd place finishes. He did stay off the ground which was good. Decent finish in 2nd behind Dungey in the heat race. Main rolls around, and yet again.....another pull off to the pits for Bubba.
Listened to this post race interview. Couple things caught me. He said they tried some new forks tonight, and he really liked them. First time using them. What the hell, team Suzuki shows up at the races with a new fork and Bubba is riding it for the first time at a race? Make sense to anyone else?
He then claims he had an electronic issue with the bike, and had to pull off, right after he was blowing past people in the whoops "like old school 2006". I don't buy it. Bike seems to run fine, then poof, It is cutting out and cant ride a SX track like that. I get it, you cant have your bike cut out over a jump. What I don't get, is the fact that yellow bikes seem to have more grimlins than any other bike at the pro level. It also seems that RCH Suzuki does not have the same issues.
Just a lot of weird things in this interview. I think there is more going on than a electronic issue. It is almost like Bubba just does not want to ride mid-pack, so pull off and come up with a new excuse.
