Nope. Two GPs, and then who knows.

All I hope is that he does some start and turn testing! Although his starts have been way more consistent out of the hole with the new hydro clutch, no good wheelies!

Chrusha,

Don't think he has done turns and starts couple of times?


Two or three more won't make a difference, he is done.

OK, fine, I don't cheer for chad haha

There's about 30 other guys who are also done then... Done in terms of what? Championships? Maybe. But he's quite comfortably 5th in points with a DNF and 3 good starts out of 14...

Same for lots of guys could be said this year, everyone is talking about how bad their starts are, no one is really talking about how good Dungey's are. He's top 3 every time bar what, 2 races?

Probably just to offend you. Looks like it worked.

Chad's been doing this long enough that he can pick and choose when and where he wants to ride. Good for him.

any rider, I wasn't talking specifically about reed. i know that reed can do the f he wants but I don't get why yamaha isn't looking for anyone to race the outdoors. they build up a new effort and then don't go to the races.

why would i be offended with that anyways...my guy is racing.

Ummmm, yes, yes I am

Look at results ...top ten is good

Oh shit, just checked, your from Perth au.

Not dogging ur boy man, he is truly a great racer, but.......he is now a top ten racer...which is a fucking lot better than i could ever do.......shit fire...I could only dream of the wins he has

Do you disagree that he and his legacy would be better served going out on top vs being beat by wey and Alessi?

I thought i had heard that 1. Reed didnt want to do outdoors this year so he can save himself and do another year or 2 in supercross and 2. Since the team was kind of a last minute deal that they didnt have the sponsorship dollars to go race outdoors. Since reed probably didnt care to do them it made sense to do sx only their first year coming back. Next year theyll do sx and outdoors with webb and i wouldnt be surprised to see webb and another rider full time and reed doing sx only in 2017.

It is called cost vs benefit. Outdoor MX is a money loser. It costs a lot, and they get little benefit out of it.

The team came together late and the money most likely wasnt there to do outdoors. Reed probably wanted to do sx only and yamaha is using this year as a test run to get everything in order for when webb comes on board next year. I think theyll have webb and another rider racing a full schedule with reed doing sx only in 2017.

are seriously trying to say that factory yamaha has no money to do 12 rounds of mx all held in the same country? please. reed could managed to go racing with jg33 for the outdoors as a private team but factory yamaha can't? you could tell me any reason but not money.

Just a thought but maybe their first year budget was set on only doing supercross. That way they could ease back into it and have the extra money for Webb next year. Just thinking out loud here.

After what happened last year I don't think Chad has any plans on taking part on MX sports promoted events.

Just watching the replay now.

Reed was actually dead last for a split second on the first straight. He got caught behind those two dudes that crashed and came back up... So even with a clutch issue i'd say that was actually a really freakin good ride
