would like to see a non American (Chad Reed) win the 450 Title tonight?
And are there any Aussies that would like to see James win?

Kangaroo boy's alright by me. Haven't heard him whining on the podium this year. Guessing being around DeCoster has done a lot for Reed the racer as well as Reed the person. If he beat Stewart for the title, who in the hell could knock him for that? Seriously.

I'm typically gonna always cheer for my fellow countrymen as most people do. If I have no dog in the fight (as neither of these are) then I most of the time pull of for the American. But I just want to see a damn good race!!

Simply, I'd like to see James win because I think he's the better, more dominate rider in most every category concerning Chad. Nothing to do with where's he from.

I've been a Reed fan since he came to the big class in SX and started beating RC. It was revenge for RC beating up on MC. Smile I would like to see him win but I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if he didn't. It's not like I have $500 on the race or anything. Also, James is a great rider and I like him too. I just wasn't going to stop pulling for CR when JS came along.

Des Nations is a completely different question. In that case I pull for the American team.

I'd like to see Chad win. Love him or hate him he's sacrificed a lot to follow his dream.

You think Reed is more intelligent and articulate than, say, the average person?

My preference on who wins is not at all based on where anybody is from.

American rooting for Reed. I think everyone of my moto buddies is pulling for Reed. James is just a primadonna. Been pampered his whole life. IMO

Been sponsored out the ass, free bikes, free gear, free parts. Lots of kickbacks and ass kissing.

I knew when MXA ran the picture of him on his peewee that the kid was going to the top. Sure he has TONS of talent, but having the best equipment given to you your whole career cant hurt. Like I said, its just my opinion.

I dont know if he said that, but I do know that he said something like "We all look the same with our helmets on."

I think he just wants to be just an American, but the press wants to push the black/white thing because its- well its what they do.

WTF!?! Are you serious? Did u happen to watch his E:60? Probably not. He started out with nothing and made something out of himself. He got everything because he DESERVED it. RC was the same way and Reed probably was also.

I watched the little clip Bobby posted up. Yeah, he started poor, but by the time he was on 60's I would be willing to bet he was getting plenty of help. I dont know, I was just stating my opinion and listed it as just my opinion.

I'm not gonna argue. The nut sucklers on one side are gonna be pissed, and the ball lickers on the other are going to agree and I dont really give a shit either way because I will still be broke tomorrow no matter who wins.

Im rooting for Grant for the win and Stewart for the title.....I have to admit though i'd like to see the look on Brooks face if Reed wins the crown tonight.

Yep, Larry Brooks could make a person want to see Reed win. Although James deserves it more as he has the most wins. Oh and He's faster too.
