Here we go with a shit storm, but here is something I have noticed..

Ellie is always talking about incidents like this on twitter, always rambling on about them and such and seems to get very angry (understandable). BUT, does anyone think she should maybe ease up and lay back a bit? she gets so involved saying things like Reed will just go and win to prove something and he doesn't and then she complains about a double standard. She is creating this damn double standard and is to naive to realise it. I understand standing up for her guy but she almost always stirs up a shit storm then complains about the outcome later. I think she needs to start letting Reed do the talking on the track rather than his wife talking on twitter. I'm an idiot for posting this, I get that but damn its annoying! don't create the double standard and there wont be one to complain about! let the damn rider actually race to prove something.

She can say what she wants, but I think she makes herself look stupid.

Much like many people who post here after a beer-fueled Saturday night.

Saw Ozzy checking in at the AMA truck afterwards.

Yeah, that hits the nail on the head. She can say what she wants. I appreciate her doing it. I like the Reed's. And...it doesn't make her look good. Forget who said, "just because you think it doesn't mean you need to say it" but it applies to all of us most of the time. Still glad she's got her man's back and that Chad is still racing. The sport will miss him when he's gone.

well if Ozzy was complaining about Tomac then I categorically state that it was no worse than what Bowers did to Webb, no where near, so really a waste of time?

Hey! It's Sunday here... None of that time-zone discrimination, we already have a Euro vs US thing going!Tongue

I liked Chad and Ellie a whole lot more when they were two wide-eyed teenagers traveling to Europe to take on the world's best. And yeah, she should stay out of it and let him take care of his business.

If you DQ Chad for the Canard incident, he's got a right to complain - and precedent.

A right to complain is the last thing Reed needs.

oh did Tomac purposely move off the racing line to elbow Reed causing him to crash off the track? I missed that.

how many times did Tomac use the line he used to pass Reed in other laps? You could argue he was off the racing line
A SX track is all racing line if you're on it you're racing.. I bet Canard is stoked that Reed didn't wait a week to ruin two races instead of ruining one race more..

Does she actually think Tomac's move was worthy of a black flag? Wow... The Reeds have lost me as a fan with their words and actions this year. Chad runs his mouth on and on. I'm not surprised by the way he is getting treated now by other riders.

well I'm not really but my point was more towards your 'off the racing line' comment.. and like I said it's more of a dick act in my mind to ruin two races instead of making one worse so if I'm gonna give anyone a flag (and I'm not) it's gonna be the guy that has done that

let me just assure everyone I don't think Tomac deserved a black flag or that what he did was a dick act just more of a one as I really don't think Reed wanted Canard to go down

Well I don't know but I think she is saying that if Chad deserved one Tomac did as well but I'm assuming she doesn't think either did.. I don't know though I've been told about a million times that I don't understand women

I bet this all "goes away" before it goes to court...

Ha. It probably will "go away" enough to add another rider to the two two racing team next year.
