Actually, I think Reed fans could do themselves a favor by reading that bit. It's clear, concise, and follows the same logic that the AMA/FIM followed. No bullshit, no bias. Just facts

Verbmoto's Eric Wright attended the race, here's his take on the whole situation... no point in starting yet another black flag thread

The Black Flag
Obviously the massive talking point of the 450 class was the black flag for Chad Reed, following his little tif with Trey Canard. Here’s the Cliff Notes version of how the events played out - Reed in front of Canard; Reed jumps right to left as Canard jumps left to right; contact; both riders down; both riders get up at the same time; Reed gives Canard some serious elbow music and pushes him off the track into the tuff blocks; Reed gets black flag and retires from the race; words exchanged after the checkers. To be quite honest, it’s very easy to see where Reed is coming from in this instance, but the move was deserved of punishment. It was an indisputably flagrant takeout, worthy of penalty. We love Chad Reed, and want to see him on top again, and in this writer’s opinion, he should just accept the decision and put it behind him, which he most likely will do, because he’s a professional.

Just for the unaware, Eric Wright is Brotocross.

No matter what name he goes by, he'll never top the poem race report from High Point he put up a couple years ago.

okay so Brohocross isn't the guy who was saying a bunch of outrageous shit about riders and industry people but then writes for Verb under a different name ?

Awesome. Must be a regular Benjamen Franklin.

He never says much that isn't true. He's also got incredible writing skills and the head staff at Vurb took notice. Clearly he likes being relatively anonymous.

He is a better writer then I thought, here is his Verbmoto serious take on Noren's really bad heat race triple crash

Noren’s Heat Crash
Pretty much everyone I talked to who was not at the race missed this incident, so it definitely needs to be mentioned - Frederik Noren, the Swedish people’s champ, completely ate s#!t in the heat race. The second triple on the track was tough, to the point where not every 250 rider was hitting it. The rut coming out of the previous turn was one of those rude mofos that goes out of the turn, almost to the face of the jump, so if you were using it and got out of shape at all, you had no time to pick up the pieces and hit the triple. Noren got out of shape, went for the triple anyway, and cased it as bad as he could possibly have cased it, hitting the eject button after bouncing off the landing. It looked like he was about to pull a Tanner Hall and start screaming “My ankles are broken,” but then lo and behold he lined up for the semi. He did not qualify, even through the LCQ, but it was still an ironman effort after that crash.

I blame Obama...

Also, it's not my fault that Eli also used the screen name Eric Wright a few times in the earlier days of Brotocross. Laughing

I concur. To be clear, what (specifically) has Trey done to, deserve that? I'll be awaiting your response.

Trey screwed up and took out Reed, As soon as Reed got going I knew he was going to park Trey and sure enough he did. Trey should have know he was going to get punted. I am not a Reed fan but I would have done the same thing and I dont think it mattered if it was Canard it could have been any other rider and Reed would have done the same thing.
