Yes, RV, Reed, Stewart are all washed up. Can't go fast anymore should just retire today. Bad starts and bad luck play no part in racing. None of them have come from behind in a 20 race series before. And DM, JB,TC and RD have never had bad luck or bad starts in the past so they wont in the future. Nice cast!

Not sure he said that. But, it does seem like Stew, Reed, and Villo aren't so far ahead of the rest of the pack anymore, now does it? In fact, two of those three haven't won a single race yet. Have either Reed or Stew been on the podium from the main? I don't recall that they have.

Congrats to Millsaps.

The bottom line is the tracks this year have been the worst as far as passing. Hopefully the tracks are better on the east coast...

Reed had the second fastest time in the main last weekend and I believe the fastest lap time in the main last night. Also js7 continues to top qualifying each week with a torn acl. The "old guys" seem just fine to me.

Maybe when they actually race on a Technical track then we can judge. As of right now? Heck no, the tracks are basic cookie-cutter with nothing to separate the top guys.

Apart from that fork I think Reedy is riding better than he ever has... maybe 2003/4/5 not but he hasn't gone backwards for sure...

James still has the silly speed... Just don't see it as much...

Or you could get off this American message board and stop promoting your worthless opinionated E-rag that no one cares about.

Or stick around, as we all love a good MXGeoff meltdown.

I wouldn't call it a changing of the guard. Davi has for sure benefited by his good starts but when confronted during the race by the big 4 he hasn't dominated. When the new kids have a bit of experience in the big class, then you'll see a changing of the guard. for now it's just the old guard swapping places. For now, all you've seen is chaos from first/second turn yard sale. Without that Dungy would be right there in points. A few little mistakes and Villo leads the points. There is no changing of the guard yet just someone who has gotten a huge advantage from his great starts. I consider RV a "tween" not new, not old, He's been around awhile but has had to sit out so much due to injury it doesn't seem like it.
