I'm a big Reed fan, but what makes you think he would fare any better than Waters who is also coming off injury, currently is in the MXGP?

Gibbs faired pretty well last year at MXoN.

Evans is an unknown on the international scene as of yet, but as a 19-year-old he certainly kept Ferris honest on the toughest track of the series in Aus at Coolum.

Not saying Chad is not a better choice than Gibbs or Evans, but I would not go putting my house on it until seeing Chad race. Who knows where his actual pace is at maybe it is better than the current guys, maybe it's not close.

Would be awesome to see him line up this weekend, all questions would be answered to some degree.

Time to put up or shut up, Chad. You just said you'd lay waste to every Australian except Dean Ferris. Go on, race a national. Let's see how fast you are. Do it. NZ champ Cody Cooper is not a bad yardstick; I'm sure you'd smoke him!
...but you won't turn up. As they say on here, stamp it. You'll tease your nut huggers on social media, drop hints, troll everyone, all the while looking more sad as you yet again fail to show up & put your money where your mouth is.
Prove us wrong.

Shit! I just went to where I thought he said it and ya right he didn't hahaha my bad! Dunno where I got that to be honest, prob from somewhere on here so now that fact gives me the shits haha .. So yeah less annoyed at him now haha
Should mention I'm a big Reed fan and most of my posts here are defending or talking him up but this whole thing has annoyed me though especially when he brought up other Aussie riders so I'll stand by piss or off the pot haha

I think it would be fair to say that every Aussie on vital, so many of us that were offended when Chad said he could beat anyone on the Australian team that was chosen for mxon, are hoping like hell that Chad gets that JGR ride and fronts for iron man...it's his chance to put up or shut up.
If he thinks that he could beat Kirk Gibbs, Mitch Evans or Hunter Lawrence , straight up in 2x 30 min motos in a high pressure international race situation, then I think it's fair that we expect him to be at least top 6 in both motos at iron man..
I really hope he races and I really hope he excels, this social media whinging bullshit is just plain embarrassing, not the sort of thing Brett Mettcalfe would ever d.o

I would put the house on it that he would beat Gibbs and Evans. They both look fast at home battling, but put them in the grind of AMA or mxgp and they would placing similar to what Todd Waters is.

Dang Medaglia can't even get a new jersey from Astars and has to put new numbers over his
old. Obviously the old name and number are sublimated into the jersey so it's not the end of the world but still.

Come on Astars you're already sending someone there with Barcia and Anderson's gear just throw some stuff for Medaglia in there.

Waters coming off injury? He did his collar bone before Herlings did his, that’s not an excuse anymore and his on a factory Honda.

Gibbs did do well last year, great starts in the rain definitely helped, but if you look at his Aus results he and Waters were always on par.

Evans raced mxon for Aus 2 years ago, check his results he got monstered, to his credit though he was a late call up after Jay Wilson went down.

I still believe Reed would have no problem handling any of these guys in Aus with the exception of maybe Ferris and Lawrence.

Gibbs at home in Aus. Yeah, he might be surprised by how quick they are.

But a big international, Reed is proven and if you put them on the same track at Ironman or MXdN i'd not be surprised if Reed did better. He's not going to shrink from the moment at all, he'll do as good as his prep/fitness allows. That's not entirely true each time a home-based talent heads overseas for a big event.

Speed-wise, Truman basically told you his laptimes were probably matching Weston's on that mid-week pulp pod... He said he's good for about 8th. Weston has been there or there abouts.

Two motos though – I'd not be surprised if he top 5's moto one and is smoked for moto two.

He never actually won a MXD championship, he was leading it by a lot and broke his leg, then the next year (2015) for Serco he was leading the mx2 championship and done his collarbone which saw it slip through again. Then 2016 he won the mx2 championship for DPH. You could say I’m a big fan of him and I follow him closely as we grew up together in tassie as mates, he’s the same age as me.

The fuck's with that? Maybe part of getting older haha..

Anyway while looking for info about his age, on the mx nationals page they say he's 18 but they list his birth year as 1998 haha

Hmm I have to disagree bro, he just rode a full SX season and came in with an injury that made it not possible for him to be prepared and he still showed up every Saturday night, He is certainly not afraid of getting beat and if he is not at iron man it is due to another reason.
