Our guy Phil, as we’ve been making jokes recently about, never fails to get upset at his qualifying times at the races. And then, almost always, our resident Pulpmx grump will go out there and perform solidly in his main events or motos. So we’ve been joking, why get upset about your qualifying time when you know you’ll go out there and out-perform your speed. Phil’s a gamer, pure and simple.
So with the help of our guy MX Reference, we did a deep dive into Phil’s real results versus his qualifying times.
Take a look at what we found!
