This season is going to be good, but I think 2011 will be the best year we've seen in a long time, even better than 2006. Poto and Dungey will definitely be up to winning speed by then, and rookies like Canard and Pourcel will probably take a win or two themselves.

First it was the RV interview and now in the Reed interview, that the interviewer Eric Johnson is push them to answer questions of "How are you and can you beat Stewart"?

It seems like Eric Johnson is trying to start some crap before the 2010 Supercross series starts.

It's funny to me because we know that Eric Johnson works for Monster Energy.

It's the Energy war between Monster (RV and Reed) and Red Bull (Stewart).

When the real racing starts, there are going to be problems in that camp for sure.

What was it Matthes was saying about Reed and Ferry? Two roosters in the hen house is one too many. It will be funny to see if Ryan can control himself better than Reed did when he was a punk kid riding with Ferry on the team. I'd like to think he will be a gentleman.

Is it just me? Am I reading into things a little too much? Or is it strange that in the pic of Chad and Ryan, Ryan is in front of Chad? Maybe I just have a case of the crazies but it seems like a statement to me.

I bet behind closed doors RV is not happy about Reed being on the team. RV is the #2 guy now until summer. By round 6 all the attention on the team will be on Reed.

Its just you. Its a picture, nothing more nothing less. But then i guess it wouldn't be Vital if there wasn't something being made out of nothing.

The only way SX is going to be good is if Stewart is not racing. Stewart is 1 level above Reed and the rest of the field including RV and Dungey are not even on the map. If Stewart gets hurt then Reed will dominate. The seperation between 1st and 3rd is pretty steep.

Casemark, it's a small industry and lots of people where different hats. If James was in California, which he isn't, EJ would try to interview him too. But since he's here on the East Coast, we had Jason Weigandt do a piece with him.

As for stirring things up, I think its every reporter's job to ask the contenders if and how they can beat the champ. Didn't the NFL season start with people asking each team what it would take to win the Super Bowl?

Logic is running thin these days. I would be more troubled if EJ didn't ask that question, after all I feel it is very fitting and legitimate.

that is one hell of a stretch to say Eric is trying to "start some crap"

Why would he not ask, "can you beat him"

I thought it was a great interview and didn't think EJ was starting anything. Is he not allowed to ask how he is going to beat the champ whoever that may be? No offense to anyone but I respect EJ's articles more than any other journalists. Great interview and hope to see more in the coming weeks.

When did EJ get a job with Monster? I thought he worked for an auto racing publication.

exactly Eric is a great journalist and it was a perfectly legitimate question Stewart is the champ and it is up to Reed to beat him. The rivalry between James and Chad is great, Looking forward to 2010

I'm calling it now. This year will be Reed's toughest year. I wish him luck but I think there will be a fight for the podium this year like never before.

Agreed... Me thinks there may be some tension under the green tent this year!

Agree too.

If he gets a bad start, he'll meet tough, time consuming resistance from 5th place onwards, unlike last year when he'd blast by everyone into 2nd with relative ease. Same for Bubba coming through the pack though. Can't wait.

Never been to a SX, live in London, but hoping to make it to San Diego at least, and hopefully Anaheim 3.

Its nice to see Reed seem so calm, but hope hes not entering a Windham state of mind. I'm rooting for him though, he's been chasing it for so long really hope he cracks it/Bubba.

You didn't catch any of the outdoor races that year did you?
My comment about roosters was refrencing Reed and Ryan but no matter. I should have been more descriptive.
