The very best excuse can be Reed is pissed because he had been in his own mind underperforming. He didn't start the season to finish in 10th so who knows what's going on in his head. You can bet he's blaming everyone but himself.

This is not all about what RD said. A rider in a good space would brush that off. Wrong place wrong time for Dunge.
Sounds logical to me

Shut up and ride. Been a Crybaby after the race deserves zero respect. Roger tried to tell him but still he and his fan base are still crying big tears. The AMA wrote the rules and enforced them nothing was wrong. I used to respect RD for his work ethic and good character seems we just hit a serious flaw. No time for tears time to race ! ET gets that tears do not win losers cry. ET rode great never complained made up excused about getting around his team mate or JB. Did the biz and won respect ! RD no respect he made a big scene like a premadonna not something one wants to see in a SX racer. RD is too much of a wimp to face CR face to face CR would flatten the little wimp! He got bent out of shape because Chad Reed is faster than he is. RD is just much fitter with less skills and his mind cannot deal with that fact ! ET is also much faster then RD plus does not behave like a little girl.

I don't know why all the hate on Reed, he's always been the one to show good sportsmanship. Not like he's ever been a douche before.

We all got robbed out of watching the red plate follow Tomac around for a few more laps and not make a pass!

If you know the result then why do we race? Anything could have happened but didn't cause of Chad 'roadblock' Reed

This argument is weak. A true "16th place lapper" does not have the speed of Reed who has the ability to be on the podium as proven by an earlier round this year. If "mr podium speed" ends up in 16th because of issues that have nothing to do with speed, he can make it nearly impossible to be passed by anyone if properly motivated (and dirty). He wasn't racing RD, he was riding like a fool to impede RD. You may say "well, RD should have parked him". Probably not a good move either. Feld/AMA has already proven to be extremely inconsistent. RD experienced that last year with the Red flag deal. Not including the fact that contact sometimes causes mechanical damage. The thing is, these decisions should not have been forced on RD. Reed should have gotten his immature ass out of the way.

In this one here too lol.
Vegas 2009.
He stalked JS7 for a while waiting for a chance to take him out (they were racing for the championship).
James tried to let him by a few times(slowed ,moved over),but Reed wouldnt pass...Anyway if you watch from about 1:15:20 , he tried a lame blatant attempt at taking out JS7.
It was interesting.

Still trying to figure out if some of you guys watched the same race I did. It's clear reed got in the way. And it's clear dungey made up some time. When that main line is taken away, no one wants to step out of that line just to get around a lapper. Some of you guys are bashing on Dungey and making Tomac look like a god. I'm all go ET3 but Dungey is a great guy and awesome image for this sport and I wouldn't wish anything that jeopardizes these great battles between him and Eli.Give your guys head a shake before you post.
