I don't know about Shaheen. Every time he says ( KTM THE ORANGE BIKE) I just want to kill him.

I thought it was a terrific race. That battle between Reed, Villo and Hepler was excellent.

It was great because it was on tv. They need to offer SX on pay-per-view.

Yeah, it's a real shame when the TV commentators say a certain rider is doing pretty good just because he's won 6 straight races.

I like Hepler, but he held Reed and RV up letting JS to get away once again. It was obviously hard to pass on that track. Can't blame Hepler for tryin, but he did hold em up.

He's ahead and he has a right to take whatever line he wants. If those guys were able to go 2 seconds a lap faster, they'd have blown right past him. Heck, for the first 5 laps or so, Hepler was keeping James in sight, he was hauling ass.

Sorry, Hepler rode a fantastic race and it's Skippy's and RV's job to get around him if they are that much faster. I don't think Hepler held them up, the track was sufficiently technical to keep things close for a while.

Thanks, I was getting ready to start a new post asking if you are a Reed lover or a James hater, now I don't need to.

BS, Here's the fastest lap times between the 3 riders.

CR=48.7
RV= 48.8
Hepler=49.4

They were in the 50's before they finally got around Hepler then picked up the pace after that.

Or just show it live on Speed every week.

I find it hard to believe that they can find the advertising to make it at least a little profitable.

He was racing. Plus he's on a blue bike. He was doing his job.

You must not have raced very much. You always go slower when you're battling with someone.

I picked up on that too. What a great response. I think Ralph was just as perplexed as we were because he just stared at him in disbelief.

"Do you like apples or oranges?"

"I'm gonna have to go with spherical-shaped fruit Ralph".

Reed lost at the gate. Does Stewart have that much better reflexes or what? Reed needs to really work on his starts. That Average position in turn one stat said it all... Stewart Avg position in turn one 1.6777 or something and Reed AVG position 5.99.

Here we go.

They, CR and RV were racing each other and when they FINALLY got around Hepler they BOTH picked up time racing EACH OTHER.

I raced B class, and what class did(do) you race?

Sam rode Expert back in the day, and at 50+ still gets around the track pretty quick.

Over 50, but when I was a real racer I rode 250 and open expert. But that was a few decades ago, probably before you were born.

Couldnt have been that hard to pass........Wharton was picking them off left and right in the two-fiddy moto.

Cool, i'm surprised that you didn't pick up on Hepler holding them up after about the 4th lap then.Tongue

Like i said, i like Hepler, but, those guys needed to get up there and at least make a run at JS and i feel they could have if they didn'y lose so much time following #60 for that much time.
