And if Tomac would have put his foot out going into that corner where he lost the front end he might have made a race of it. Rookie mistake... happens to the best of em in SX racing.

I agree with the Tomac comment, not sure about the Reed/Peick one though :-) I dont think anyone intimidates Reed

Reed had a flat tyre apparently... About sums up his year.

Or maybe it was just Pieck unleashing that triple after the whoops and pulling away when Reed started applying pressure... Reed only appeared to have the edge through the Monster Alley section so had no show once Pieck was able to pull away before it. A shame about his tyre problem tho.

If peick can figure out how to ride the entire moto like rides the first 7 laps. Look out. We got a new title holder.

All Weston needs is to stay healthy. After his practice crash left him bruised and battered he was unable to ride before Vegas.

Outdoors will be interesting!

Good to see pieck get another podium

They're usually round...except when they're like this.



Oh, and Eli likes to push the front end pretty hard.

I second that. He wasn't scared of RC in his prime.

Maybe If Reed were a little nicer to some people things like Saturday wouldn't be happening to him.

What he said isn't much of a stretch. . . Huge caveat asking him to ride 20 like he rides the first 7 though. He's got the speed it seems. Just not quite the endurance yet.

He's faded in the back half of a 20 lap supercross main with some regularity. And you think he will go from that to hanging it out for two 30 minute plus two lap motos and be a "title holder?"

Pieck doesn't win a moto this year. That's my prediction.

It seems Reed has had a lot of mid corner falls this year and I've often wondered if his choice of tire brand had anything to do with it.

It looked like Reeds shock crapped out. The JGR Yamaha also seem to have quite a bit of motor on them. on a track like Vegas with long straights that will help.

You must be just a little unsure of that prediction..............I noticed you didn't say....."Stamp It".

It seems like he's had more in the last three or four years than all of his previous seasons and was on a different brand of tires for some of that. Maybe he doesn't get along well with the newer compounds of either brand.

Probably more due to his reflexes not being quite as sharp as they were in his younger years but he has complained and constantly changed his front end settings as well.

I'm with this. If he had a shot at a moto win outdoors, he'd consistently be on the box in SX.

I'm just not that big of a fan now after he complained about Anderson and everyone else "getting in his way." Also, Reed is not scared of this sasquatch that every says he is.
