Hard to say with Chad, he loves to get a reaction. Could go either way.

He just said in the video he was looking for 18 and 19 to call it a career... maybe he finally burnt all the bridges in the industry.

He'll be back in 2018. In typical fashion he said what he meant in a way that could be interpreted a number of ways in order to make people wonder.

He won't call it after the way this season went. I still think on the right machine, in the right situation, he can beat the best. And I know he still thinks so too.

Thought he was going after the age-based SX win record? Who has it, Kdub or The Rock?

A few of his closest mates from Aus have reposted it congratulating him on his career so not sure if ts legit or not. I for sure thought he would go one more year to prove he is better than it looked at times this year, and on a bike. but who knows guess we'll have to wait till November for the Aus-x open to see what bike he turns up on or if he turns up to race at all

Would of have thought the caption makes it pretty clear that he's done with 2017. Not his career.

He's done for the year. Not racing outdoors. Pretty sure that's what he means. He said in a press conference not that long ago that he's going for the all time amount of main event starts and if things go well he won't just beat it but will blow right passed it when someone asked him the question.Something along those lines anyways.

Chad deserves a farewell tour. Would be a shame if this was the end imo

That's interesting...especially since he beat Webb most races this season.

If "stars aligning" means the leader dropping anchor, then sure, Reeds got a chance to run up front. But during a normal race where everyone goes somewhere near full speed, CR doesn't have the speed anymore.

He does on hard pack and it's why he's been one of the best riders at Vegas over the years.

If Tomac, Dungey, etc would have run full speed, Reed would have been nowhere near the leaders.

He is good in Vegas, hell, he's one of the best riders ever. But it will need to be a strange night for him to get another win.

5th fastest lap of the night... and had a worst start than all who finished in front of him.
