That said, once KC was passed, he made his own decisions, of that I am sure. I'm offering a $5000 stipend to the first person that can prove to me that LB actually told KC to try and take CR out. It just didn't happen. And only fools would believe otherwise . . . .
And f-you with the f-ing pussy comment. I'll have my body guards dispatch your ugly arse momentarily . . . .
My biggest concern comes when he does pull over and looks back. Now it was an outside pesrpective, but I didn't see any other riders around him besides Stewie and Reed. .
Now how does this bring LB back into the mix? It doesn't. Many of us can assume why KC chose to get involved, but it was a choice. He made the choice. The AMA/FIM reacted quickly and rightfully for once. What else is there to say about it?
Stewart did nothing wrong.

I want to see race like that play out between the leaders. Anything can happen. It seems more people on this board just want to see their favorite win, and don't care about the racing.
For those who can't seem to remember how team MX is played, break out a copy of the Great Outdoors and relive the Alessi/Tedesco affair. That should clear up any doubts about whether Brooks knows how the game is played.
Brooks bitches about people not thanking their sponsors.
Next week, his rider doesn't thank his sponsors.
Brooks bitches about lappers effecting the outcome of a race.
His lapper rider effects (maybe) the outcome of a race.
It'd be funny if a lapper bumped Stewart tomorrow...just to see Brooks' take on that.
Pit Row
What happened in the corner was likely not what brooks had told kyle what to do, but the racing he likely did tell him to do is what happened from the corner before to the incident.
What does this mean?
When you use language like this, it seems that KC tried to take Reed out.
Reed makes a lot of sense in his press conf comments on Brooks:
"There’s a paper trail a mile long of what people in… Should I say, ‘His boss’ has done along the way? You look through the years and we can all find little things that he has done, and one that stands out most is sitting [Steve] Boniface out of a race [in 2003 at Millville with the Red Bull KTM team] because he wouldn’t help somebody, and taking his rear wheel out of the bike. I find it quite amusing, quite funny, and each and every one of the people sitting in this room I believe knows the truth and what really happened, whether they write that or not. Everyone has to be political.”
JS lead starting lap 14:
0.8 at the finish line (when lapping Voss allowed Reed to pull up)
0.9 going into first set of whoops
0.6 right before the KC incident (when KC was at the end of the whoops throwing off JS's pace)
1.1 entering the whoops after the KC incident
1.5 exiting the whoops
for a difference of 0.9 seconds lost due to KC.
From the time Reed landed off the table before the whoops till he made the turn after the whoops was clocked at:
6.12 lap 11
6.24 lap 12
5.85 lap 13
6.15 lap 14 (the KC lap) which matched his pace on lap 12 (pretty impressive for just having that run in with KC.
The broadcast didn't show that section on the 2 subsequent laps, but he was back @ 6.1 - 6.3 in that section towards the end of the race.
The rhythym section 2 sections after that whoops section really hurt Reed since JS was going through there with an average of 4.5 seconds from lap 12 - 16 and Reed was 4.6 - 4.9 during those same laps with Reed clocking a 4.86 on lap 14.
I acknowledge that 0.9 seconds is a big advantage when lap times are so close. I guess my point is that the gap that JS had over Reed at the end was a result of many more factors than that one incident. I am not saying that the incident didn't have an impact. I admit I am not a racer so I don't know the mental effect that it had on Reed. I would think that being a former champ he knows how to deal with that.
I do expect to be flamed on this one and I do realize that this information is less than scientific using a stopwatch and a DVR. I have no agenda, just numbers. I think whoever wins, completely deserves it.
It is interesting that it happened in the San Manual advertising tough block section.
But let's just say he did get team orders to take out Reed, and actually succeeded. That would be the WORST PR any business or team could ever want and i think it really would have had everyone thinking Stewart doesn't deserve the title, (the guy puts in too much work and has hired one of the best trainers in the world to have people discredit him that way), why would L&M want an asterisk on their title? I just dont see it being planned out that way and to sum it up, it would just be plain dumb.
