St. Louis was Adam Cianciarulo's long-time mechanic, Justin Shantie, final race as wrench for the Monster Energy Kawasaki squad. He has since moved to a new position inside the JGR NASCAR organization. Brian Kranz, who was Eli Tomac's wrench through his Geico and Kawasaki years, is still with Kawasaki as a test mechanic. So for the remainder of AC's career, Brian will be turning the wrenches for the #9. Octopi Media

AC told a pretty cool story on his podcast about Kranz taking the number one plate off Tomac's bike and putting it on his bike back at Monster Cup in 2019, when AC beat Tomac and the field upon his 450 racing debut. Octopi Media

Coty Schock had some big news coming into the weekend. The like-able rider out of Delaware didn't know if he had a ride for outdoors...but now has a home for not just the Pro Motocross series, but also the next three years. Congrats Schock-Rocket. Octopi Media

Malcolm Stewart still appears to be on WP's latest works shock and fork, not deviating like Barcia or Sexton has. Also, it's still a little odd to see Mookie rocking Sidi boots, after years in Gaerne. Octopi Media

Time to take a peek at Jett's form and boots. Octopi Media

Lawrence's boots are a bit different than the production model. Namely, the lack of a lock-out system between the bottom two buckles, allowing more movement in the ankle and the rider to "drop the heel" much easier. Octopi Media

Drew Adams has won the last three SX Futures events. He'll wrap up the Futures series before racing the opening three rounds of the Canadian National Motocross series, then prepare for Loretta's. What about 2025? Pro Circuit? We're not sure yet. We'd venture to guess you'll see him in Futures a bit next year before making the transition, just due to his age and the opportunity to gain mroe experience before making the BIG jump. Octopi Media

While the main event isn't what Chance Hymas would have wanted, his heat race showed the potential that Honda and his backers see in him. Octopi Media

Yup, the modified WP production shock and KYB internal fork are still onboard Sexton's machine. Octopi Media

Jalek Swoll remains the sole Triumph rider at the races and may continue with that title through the end of Supercross. There are rumors of Ferry departing the program and inquiring with other teams about a ride for the Summer. We're awaiting more official news or confirmation. Octopi Media

See you all in Nashville! Octopi Media

If Jett gave Roczen a baby gift wave by was that a happy first birthday to Siggy to not take him out for a 4th place on the last turn?  Anderson could have put Jett in the cheap seats earlier in the race but he cut down and let off…I guess Jett had enough already just from Barcia’s hit.
