I like JG, but I don't think he is on Reed's level in SX yet.

I think Chad is definitely on his own level. His starts are mediocre though. That combined with the sprint race format makes him look slower.

will be good to see JG and Davi Millsaps going at it with the Aussies. Good practice before A1

I'd have to go with Speedy Reedy.

That's why we have races.

Both are great riders but Chad will have the upper hand as far as control and smoothness.

Well wishes to both Chad and Grant and may the best man win.

I'm not sure if Josh is going to be on his 2010 bike yet, but I feel like it would be a small advantage if he was. As of last week, they still had only one 2010 YZ complete.

I'd have to disagree and say that DV18 is smoother and has more control than reed. just lacks a little bit on the mental side i think

Interesting input from someone who probably knows better than most of us bench racers.

How long has Josh been riding? Didn't he totally jack up both ankles this summer?

You mean having an '010 in Australia?
I am under the impression both JB and JG have had the new bikes, in NC, for a couple of weeks, or longer.
Here are photos from last weeks race on Genoa, ITALY and both are on '010 bikes.

Isn't that a trip. My friend has had his '10 yzf450 for a month now. He doesn't race, just a regular guy.
