OK....
I stay off the moto boards on race nights , and the following morning so i can watch the race without knowing who already won.
With that being said....i JUST NOW jumped onto this board and haven't read one single thread , reply , NADA!
I rewound and played it over and over , and "I THINK" that K.C. is , and should be in the clear!
Why....he was just about wadding anyways before he slightly even rubbed Reed! Go watch the video and you can see clear as fuggin' day that he barely , and i mean BARELY even rubbed reed.
K.C. went down on his own accord. Why the hell he got on the gas so hard in the first place , i dunno....but from what i saw , it looked like he did everything he could do , to NOT HIT REED!
Maybe most guys on here agree with this , i dunno , like i said , i haven't read any threads about it yet. Including the one GuyB put up about K.c.'s side of it.
I'm sure there are going to be some whining , bitching and moaning from the Reed fans , but what else would you expect?
Besides the fact......from James's point of view......jesus christ , Reed just about put him into the fuggin' stands! And Reeds whining little ass get's up there and makes stupid comments like that.
I gained a bunch of respect for Reed this year because he try's extremely hard. I even had a ton of respect for him through out this race i just watched....UNTIL his stupid little box speech. He punts James....then whines when another rider rubs him.
I aint got anything against you Aussie's that come on here , and i know i'll probably get flamed for this....But Reed was a whiney little bitch tonight , strait up!!

"He punts James" ??? Holy fuck where do you morons come from?
Wherever it is ... please go back.
And RACE.....ya fuggin idiot , you didn't see the pass Reed put on james? Blew him off the track , into a tough block....please tell me your dumbass saw that.
So Reed can do THAT to james , but when another rider ( in the fucking points or not!) fucking RUBS you.....he gets DQ'ed?
I don't see it that way at all. K.C. Barely touched Reed. It "could" have been ugly , but K.C. put himself down on the dirt from a short wild ride he had.
where do you fuggin' pussy , wanna be MX insiders come from....?
One more thing....it didn't look like it mattered much anyways.....Stewie just yarded Reed again like he always does. Reed gave an awesome fight tonight , and rode better than i have seen him ride so far , but still didn't run with James at the end.
Ummm ... yes Tweezerbrain. Kyle's own team manager - Brooks - even wrote a two page rant over lappers messing with race leaders.
You really need to get a clue.

do it roit
Whether or not KC TRIED to rub on Chad,only he knows for sure. Fact is,he was already lapped and had no business trying to cut under either of those 2 guys as THEY WERE A LAP AHEAD.
He looked back and moved over like he should have. He may have still been out of control during that section in an attempt to hang with Reed. It was a blatant attempt to at least get in the way. It looks like he could have gone even lower to T-bone Reed and break his leg. Either way, he pulled over, looked back and then kamakazied the next section. When you see just the clip of him coming off of the table section, he did the step off into the turn which will give a little more momentum into the corner. If you see where he pulls over and looks back as they go around him, there isn't much argument left for his intentions.
Great job by the AMA to work quick and get him off of the track that fast. No way should he race in Vegas.
the contact was extremely light......and i think a DQ and suspension just isn't right. And if K.C. wanted to , he "could" have cleaned Reeds clock in that corner , but he came to an almost dead stop to make that NOT HAPPEN.
YEAH...he shouldn't have been there! But honestly.....did that little contact cause Reed to lose any more time on stewie than he always does?
I don't think that corner/contact had any affect on the out come of the race.....do you guys?
I didn't see any passes by Reed that went beyond aggresive.
what the fuck?
reed didn't square that corner up man. no way. he went all the way around the outside.
whether that contact made the decision about the race or not, i would say not. but that was bullshit.
horse meet stick
1. KC looked suspiciously like a Chad Reed-seeking missile.
2. That stuff is as old as racing and has been even more blatant in the past.
3. He didn't do a particularly effective job
4. The effect on Reed was obviously more psychological than physical and to his discredit, Reed was never able to challenge Stewart again after that.
Pit Row
Imagine if a lapper went after RC like that in, lets say, 2006, the last race or so... jeez the moto world would have had it's first execution.
Answer #1: Blue glasses = NO
Answer #2: Yellow glasses = YES
Answer #3: Don't wear glasses = We will never know. But it appeared to bother Reed enough for him to momentarily lose his focus and a few bike lengths. And that's the difference between JS having to protect his lines and ride defensively vs riding free on the fast line. Chad HAD passed JS twice already though so it can't simply be ruled out that he had no chance at another charge / pass attempt.
Should never have happened ... according to Larry Brooks himself -
http://www.vitalmx.com/...e-spare-time-,460999
Brooks: "It will be a sad day when some disgruntled lapped rider determines the outcome of a race that 45,000 people paid to watch."
Chisholm was out of control, almost hit Stewart, tried to dodge him and fell down barely touching Reed. It was nothing. He shouldn't have been there in the first place, but stuff happens. It didn't have any effect on anyone other than Chisholm.
Well said, exactly how it was/is.
