My nod goes to twotwo.
I'm not asking who's your favorite rider but more like which team has done the most with what resources they have to work with or which team works best together. For example my out of the know nod goes to TwoTwo because they have done a lot more in the last two years with less resources than say JGR. Do you think there's a better team than TwoTwo? Who is it and what in your opinion makes them better their resources, mechanics, managers, money, experience, etc?

Kawi is happy.
TwoTwo is happy.
KTM can't be satisfied with how the bike performed the past two weeks.
JGR is definitely not happy with how things have gone.
IMO.
KTM is committed to win, and the new 450 is impressive, however, I think this season will be a work in progress. Any team with "The Man" leading it, should be at the top of the list of "best teams".
I think Kawasaki has the best bike on the line right now, the switch to a new bike (the 12' model) back during the middle nationals was not only seamless, but was the difference in the c'ship if you ask me. That wasn't luck, those boys know what they're doing.
22 Motorsports has done more with less in just over a year than any of the above. Even before Chad started getting factory bikes, he was competitive. The fact that he was able to carry over his SX success into the nationals was impressive. The addition of Goose in the off-season, as well as the commitment from Honda, has put 22 on the top of the heap IMHO.
The Shop
DeCal Works Huge Plastic Inventory of UFO and Polisport kits.
Luxon 4-Post Bar Mounts
$189.95 - $239.95
Moto Concepts?
JDR KTM?
H&H?
All have done great this season considering they get very little support, if any, from manufacturers in order to develop their bikes.
Best team overall?
Two Two - whatever they are doing to get Chad comfortable enough to be willing to hang it out in the whoops like he was is a great job. RV will hang it out even if his bike is only 90%, but getting Chad completely comfortable is something else. Makes you wonder how much of a benefit it has been to have Goose on board and if Dungey is missing him at all at this point?
As far as team pride, spirit, enthusiasm, PROGRESS - I would vote for Chad's team.
I'm also very impressed with the way JDR have made themselves known, their choice of riders and the fact they are running teams both in the US and Australia.
If Reed want's to continue as a team owner after he is done racing he is demonstrating to every potential rider he may sign that his team can compete at the highest level. He is getting it done in every aspect that makes up a successful race team and has surpassed every non factory and most factory efforts.
