Shane McElrath 10
10 out of 10 for Shane. I mean, coming into tonight, he needed to get second in the World Championship and won all three motos. Perfect score. 

Max Anstie 9
I’m just going to give Max a nine. He wanted to win tonight. He really did. He won the championship, but he wanted to win the overall round to keep that perfect season alive. He’s going to be bummed, but look, if that’s a bad night for Max, it’s still pretty good!

Coty Schock 8
On the podium again tonight, I’m going to say a solid eight only because he could have got second in the championship tonight.

Michael Hicks 7
I’m going to give him a solid seven on the night. I think he’s been one of the MVPs of the season. He’s on a brand new bike which requires a lot of work, a lot of development and he put in some really, really great results. He was the best of the Stark Future crew.

Kelana Humphrey 6
I’m going to give Kalana a six because he got thrown into the deep end. He’s never raced Supercross. He’s an 18-year-old kid. He’s a vibe. I would love to see him get another shot at World Supercross next year. 

Cullen Park 6
I’m going to give Cullen a six tonight. It’s been a great season for him. I think this was a breakout year for him. 

Enzo Lopes 5
It was a tough night for Enzo. He’s going to be bummed on that one. I’m going to give him a five. He’s had a great season, though.

Cole Thompson 5
He was fast in Superpole but just wasn’t really a factor in the races the way that he should have been with the speed that he showed.

Anthony Bourdon 5 
I expected more from Bourdon tonight. The French are great in hard pack conditions, so maybe that was a factor. 

Kyle Peters 4
He just wasn’t in the mix for the wins tonight the way that he can be with the speed that he has. He would have been looking for more.

Kyle Chisholm 4
He wasn’t really a factor in these races tonight. He’s probably not going to be stoked on his performance. 

Robbie Wageman 4 
He was fast in practice but could not deliver in the races and would have been hoping for a better result.

Maxime Desprey 4
He is a fast rider but finished the event in 13th place when really he should have been challenging higher up.

Noah Viney 3
Just a rough season all round for Noah, but still a great experience. He’s a young kid. He’ll be back next year.
