I'm a fan of Chad and hope he does win this year. One thing is for sure though. When he isn't feeling it and/or not doing well he sure turns into a diva lol

He's right there in points and he's a notoriously slow starter. Even slower this year I'm sure because of his injuries sustained last year. He's probably more dejected that Canard and Villopoto caught him, passed him, and checked out on him. He will get better though, and he's in it for the long haul. I don't think he's ever won Phoenix. Definitely not a good track for him. Last year he got 7th against a much less stacked field. Heck, he's ahead of Villopoto, Dungey, and Stewart in points. Only a couple down from Barcia and Canard. He's fine.

Maybe he is talking about the politics of local councils (or whatever they are called in USA) about his go-kart racing (i.e. sport) track...i mean clearly he is doing very well with a front end that isnt giving him 100% confidence, but lets not suddenly think he has issue with Honda until proven otherwise

Should have a pic thread with the comment clouds every race. That could get hilarious.

That look to me is either his dog got run over by a car, or he gave it all he had and could not keep up. I say #2. As soon as he almost crashed again at the end, he backed way off. You can't do that and he knows it. I don't think he has problems with Honda. If he finishes 10th, he is still worth more to Honda then anyone else on a red bike, kw aside, at least for the moment, until he is replaced by the next superstar.

It's funny how many people are writing Chad Reed already off after only 2 rounds. It's like a déjà vu from 2 years ago ...

Perhaps they have deja vu from 3 years ago?

Chad will be waaay fine once he gets that setup figured out. I definitely think he's behind the setup issues than what Barcia and canard are.......just give him some time. He aint doing bad and when he starts to feel comfortable , the results will improve.

Good mind + good bike = good results.
