I think some of you are underestimating Chad. Other than Marvin, Eli, Barcia, Ken, or Blake,, who is has the resume to beat him ?

So based on all the haters in here, how crazy would the internet go if he beat Webb and/or Barcia?

Webb probably doesnt care since he is out at Yamaha anyway, but if the old guy comes in on the Zook and beats both Team Yamaha guys it would be pretty funny....Doesnt mean I think it will happen, but I think its possible.

Chad, don't be like James, just retire gracefully, please!!! Guy could blow any of our socks off and deserves the recognition of his accomplishments, but this is becoming a broken record / beaten dead horse with these "comebacks".

One would first have to leave the sport in order to make a comeback.

Symantics, you get the point. Knew the Chad guys would be out in full force.

In addition this is just a one off fill-in at the last outdoor national. I think it's cool and can't wait to see him line up for an outdoor event.

2-1 for the overall trading wins with KennyTongue

Seriously though, no matter how he does it's awesome to have him out there, just made the last race a lot more interesting.

So this is with the factory team , and not JGR? I didn't think they were going to field factory bikes any longer?

Chad rides at the pace of the guys hes around in the field..
If he gets good starts, he will run within the top 10 with out a doubt.
if its a terrible start, he might shy back a little.

same with supercross, good start, things click he can run right up front with the top 5.


how ever, the dude just loves riding? dont see why every one gets butt hurt and thinks he should retire?
reeds badd ass and can still ride a bike. dont see why he should hang up the boots because he isnt winning.hes enjoying his life and time with the kids.

im keen to see how he goes, it will be his last years on the bike. i dare say the fan base this year will be bigger then ever.
hope the thunder down under picks up some speed from riding with Kroc and can finish his career on a decent result.



On that note!!!! I wonder who we will see in the future run the number 22?!

This is awesome but don't get shit twisted. It's hard to step into a series at this point and run up front.

One good solid moto would be a step in the right direction and a good chance for both parties to feel each other out.

So I might be dumb for asking, but I’ve heard there’s something between him at Scott goggles. What’s the beef or past drama going along with that?

I was a bit off him for the des nations bullshit but I'll be stoked if he goes good hashtagstillafanandshit
It'll definitely be interesting he must be confident in his pace and fitness.. That's good news!
Where's Evans and Gibbs? Get over there boys defend your position haha..

Lapped in the first moto, DNS/DNF second moto. Toss coin between fitness or bike to take the blame. Fitness is odds on now he's already making excuses. Here comes the pain!
