Who cares, really? I guess if it's a per race salary they will save money on the races he does not make. Its time to walk away Johnny.

Thanks for that useless info Mr. Info. Why would or should he walk away? The guy loves the sport, still competes at the highest level and can win. If you get fourth in your C class race you should have given up long ago.

He's more competitive at this age than Windham was and Windham didn't catch all this shit.

yes he finished 4th in points in a season that had likes of kroc, canard, barcia and js7 missing 6+ races. I don't want to start with a even deeper field for 2016 that will have mm25 and cp377 and a heathy davi millsaps on the line. all capable of beating reed. i know that reed can win if everything klicks for him, but sometimes you have to see the bigger picture.
as mentioned by someone earlier, the js7 and jgr break hurt jgr alot, so there is definitely a risk involved with bringing reed into the team. he can be pretty vocal about things if they don't go his way. obviously it could be also a win win situation for everybody, if everyone is happy but i would not bet on that.

I see that as a "free marketing opportunity". Logos or not many people that are potential customers follow MX and see whats going on.

I just wish I could always have nice tires like these guys.

CDR Yamaha in Australia run Pro Circuit, would be logical to pit out of their rig for Sydney race given his history with the team.

Corona California I/5.

Does someone know that are those pics from this week or are those from the tests before the MEC.

Just curious if Chad's been testing in Cali recently.

Fairly confident he is in California testing atm. Promoter for AUSSX flew over after the James Stewart withdrawal to resolve some issues and there was photos of the promoter with Chad at the Yamaha test track.

Chad will join RCH but not as a SX rider, instead an FMX. All kidding aside I found a pretty cool video of him flipping a bike.



On a side note, not sure if people have been following the Q & A with Ricky but he did say "I think there is always a chance to have a multi-time champion on our team"

so that could be a lot of riders in that bucket (multi champs) not just Chad.
