Man.....these guy have every resource and still takes time to get the setup correct.
F1 teams chase setup all year, same with probably all elite motorsports. Chasing that extra couple of tenths is, iIimagine very difficult especially when conditions change every week.

I love Reed because he is so honest. I know he liked 2009 Suzuki. Hated 2010 Kawasaki, loved 11,12 Honda, did not like 13 Honda and said that he was also out of shape in 2013 . Did not feel good on the 2014 RCH Suzuki, he said that the feeling of the 09 Suzuki was gone, it felt too rigid. He did like 2014 stock KTM but when they added power in that bike he did not like it anymore and then he chose 2014 Kawasaki he also said that Kawasaki deal was bad business move. For me as a fan, it's awesome to listen his interiews because there always great info.

Hater's gona hate, but Reed is just making them look stupid year after year.

Lets see how Reed's bike does on a moist tacky track.
Probably not as good. That was the problem last year also? Great in the dryer slicker conditions and average when the dirt was soft?

I think JT said that in a few podcasts last year.

However i'm so happy for Chad! The only exciting thing to watch in that race!

Geeze. Humor is dead on the inter-webs. Besides, isn't my reply EXACTLY what Jody would say?

Ditto. I wonder how his team felt about that slight jab.

Chad said they have known the problem since May, but wouldn't let him make the changes he needed until his awful start to this season....

The Kawasaki in the Yamaha are not completely competitive at this level, clearly just watching them go around the track.

My opinion on this is not Eli Tomac is the fastest motorcycle racer on the planet. And Reed is top 5 on a Supercross track. . But the blue and green bikes just do not look as good on the track as the other bikes.

In the post race interview he said something like "he was frustrated because he knew what needed to be changed last May, and it took the bad races early this season before "they" would let him change the motorcycle to how he knew it needed to be". I'm always scratching my head that the factories don't let these guys try/run settings that they want.

Jesus guys, did it ever occur to anyone that he was referencing the fact you can't get results with a DNF? His bike broke (busted waterpump cover) at the opener after ramming Peick. I seriously doubt he's blasting Yamaha.
