Not namin' names...... you do the math. If you watched the race and the post heat race interviews, it was hard to miss. For me anyway. Maybe it was an optical illusion and I'm out of line.
I was very surprised to see a rider of that caliber, show up in that shape.... man boobs, belly and all.....
I was very impressed to see that kind of result, being in that shape. Great job. Really.
I'm not a hater, in fact I've grown to respect him more every year.

anyone would like huge / fat in comparison.
we see those little pukes on a bike and anyone bigger looks fat...
cr is NOT fat...
I don't think Reed went back to Australia pre-2011 SX and if he did, he did it for a very short time. He was Tweeting pictures of himself riding riding riding while we all were wondering what he would be on. He was pretty damn good last year, better than most (including myself) ever thought he was going to be.
Go back to pre-2010 SX. He did the back in Australia thing for a long time. He signed with Kawasaki and admittedly was very late with testing back in the states. Remember he did the Aussie SX series and many were saying he looked way slow. 2010 pretty much sucked for him and he ended up blaming the bike. Lack of preparation maybe?
Now pre-2012 SX. He was back in Australia for a long time. He Tweeted pics of blistered up hands because he just got back on the bike, that was November I think. I said then a top Pro heading into a new season should not be getting blisters from lack of riding but was called an asshole hater. Anyway, he did get hurt on top of that. Whatever the case may be, there are reasons that RV made them look silly and even Pros without any body fat can be out of shape. For people to be talking about man-boobs? He did very well if he is out of shape, which should maybe set a fire under the other guys' asses as well. We got beat by man-boobs?
JS7 didnt like Fisher, RV didnt like Fisher, PC got that way, H&H... the list goes on. Mike managed to alienate and piss off alot of people, and its clearly evident- how can you be the team manager for that long, win everything in sight, and get the boot?
My point was anyway, that he was unprepared for 2010, not the reasoning to why he left the team. Now with a thread about man-boobs at A1 2012 and what we know about his pre-season, the question is if he is as prepared for 2012 as he should be?

manboobs really?
some chubby kid named Mcgrath won a race or two a few years ago, and some other chubby redhead won a few as well...now he has a zipper jacket...
Not sure why I was surprised, maybe it was his roost protector that was mentioned above.
Like I said, I'm not hatin' I respect him. Was just surprised that he looked thick and I was very impressed with a legitimate result pulling away from Dungey and James.
Oh, there's that "pictures in quote replies" thing again. Just playing. haha
Yea, I think what I was seeing when he was sitting on his bike after the heat being interviewed was the under jersey roost armor. I didn't take that into account when I saw it and he looked uncharacteristically chubby for the Reed that I know of.
I got it wrong. And I'm glad that I did. He was obviously in form on the bike.
