I personally think he hasn't hit his peak yet. He's still improving. He's only in his 2nd year on the 450. RC wasn't that good in SX his first two years on the 250.

Lost a championship that he knows he should have dominated? What? That could be said by CR or JS as well.

he definitely seems faster in my opinion, which says a lot for Reed's ability to match him in speed

Reed's a gamer. He can step up and match the speed of anyone. He'll have a terrible qualifier and heat then all of a sudden in the main he's the fastest guy. Or whenever someone catches him and passes him he stays right on their rear wheel.

Every top guy steps their game up every season, it's a progression sport.

plus, RD is riding a bike that is pretty damn close to last year's bike....he has settings from last year to look back on. RV hasn't ridden outdoors for like 2 years on a 450. he still has to sort the bike out. As for Reed, Idk. The guy has impressed me all year long. I think its going to be just like the supercross season...RV and Reedy to the wire.

RV has some work to do if he's going to be running the pace of Dungey and Reed. He's over a minute out of it at the end of the MOTO's. It is early but he's going to have to get stronger as the year goes on. For the sake of having a competitive season, I hope he starts to live up to the rumors. Dungey seems to have the odds in his favor being on the same bike as last year and staying healthy for a few years in a row now.

Thats hard to do if youre burnt out on it.

Reed 09 and Reed 11 are very similar.Loves the bike.

Probably the fastest hes ever ridden.

Just an incredible pace at the top right now.
