I’m amazed that there are still 14 factory bikes in the 450 main.

I feel like as 1 lined as this track was it still added to the overall series by bringing a different type of racing. All the tracks so far have had tons of passing, been great tracks, a triple crown, and a few mudders too. I feel like having this track the way it was made these guys really have to work and time perfect passes like a chess match which we havent seen yet. I wouldnt want it every week but variety is great.

Yeah. After Osborne, Anderson, Peick, Mookie and Justin Hill all got injured. I’m sure I’m forgetting one or two guys too. That puts Reed right about 10th-15th where a lot said.

People like you are hilarious though. Most here say he has no shot at winning a race. We had some bozos go as far as to say he would be a championship contender. He’s not and never will be again.

And Reed was in about 90% of the 17 round SX series during this last 10 years.

Not his fault if other riders who may be often faster have lower statistics on healthyness. And sometimes not the rider's fault either has other factor may be part of this, like contract pressure, track breaking down, mechanicals, collective crash, etc etc etc.

I am still wondering why riders in their 20's can't push 20 minutes and why they ride half naked when they can be hit by 1 ton missiles ... ( bike x speed = mx is dangerous, let us make protective gear at least mandatory like in the europe)

BTW, where did Reed finish a main at the MEC with most of the riders you mentioned, 5th ? The whole field between 5th to 15th is competitive and can get a 5th so no need to bash Reed if you do not want to bash any rider between the 5-15 zone.

Man.. sitting near Forkner’s mom and with all do respect she sure makes a scene when he’s on track. I feel bad, she was in hysterics from heat to main even when he was checked out and a lapper got within 10ft of him. Thought she was gonna choke his gf grabbing the back of her jacket...

Don’t know how I could go through with that if I knew I got that stressed over each of my child’s races.
Lmao. U should've seen what she was doing when Alex Martin took forkner down at southwick this year. Literally half an hour of cursing and walking in circles and shaking arms in the air freaking out. Didn't think it would stop.

Ah. Got it. Crashes don’t count. And staying healthy is not part of the sport.
Thanks for the clarification, man.

Hey, compare the last ten laps of Reed and Musquin. Both were charging, Reed was about 3 seconds faster.

But of course this kind of observation is meaningless, look at the results. Oh, wait, the results are meaningless too! Because riders are injured.
