I feel bad for the announcers.....

"Introducing the two time champion..... Monster Energy 360Fly Chaparral Valli Construction Factory Yamaha....Chad Reed!!"

These team names are getting outta hand! Good for Chad to get what he wanted though! Better late than never.

Love the helmet. Looks like it is paying homage to his previous Factory Yamaha days.

For some reason, past seasons had me hoping Chad would do well. This year I have a feeling he will do very well, call it a itch, inkling, gut feeling, whatever. I think Chad is in shape and has done the right thing with 22 Motorsports as much as I hated to see it go.

That is true, not to mention on the airbox cover he has his old school Aussie flag like back in the day. Really pumped for him.

He looks as in-shape as I can recall seeing him.

What a relief. I thought he was going to have to roll up to A1 on a clapped out 2 stroke for a minute there.

Lol, yea according to the vital experts, he should use the old box van and a underpowered bike. Guess chad didnt read vital in time before he got the 450. Cool

I like it. Reed finishing out his career on blue just feels right.

It was in Supercross as well last year... No Sony Action Cam for Dungey... I also watched them pull another brand of helmet cam off a privateer as he wandered down the tunnel.

I thought Keefer and JT said you're not supposed to wear Fox boots with anything other than Fox gear...

Chad looks fit, and his bike looks fantastic. I hope he kills it this year. Him and Stew....one more time.

yea, I read on Vital that Reed was going to race a 250 two-stroke out of a box van and "just kick back with his chick".

I can't be the only one who laughed myself to tears when I read that.
