Think they'll coach him up a bit for being too honest about the bike?

I like his honesty, its refreshing. Obviously he meant it sucked that they didnt have the setup figured out, not that the bike/team sucked.

That's kinda what I was thinking listening to him. He'll get a bit more coaching from the team on how to "talk" to the media...

I am pretty sure his interviews will get better with experience. In all honesty, it was kind of cool to hear him not be so P.C. about his problems. I got a chuckle out of it.

I knew Unadilla was going to be gnarly to be the first race.

From experience- I can tell you that is the fastest, scariest track on the circuit. Very sketchy speeds, ruts and rocks.

exactly.. much better than the old Travis Pastrana routine, crash out, or engine blows up and he still says "everything was running great!! "

12 or 13 fastest in moto one. Just think fitness is a Problem. Like i said before, its hard to run that pace, for a long time with no foundation. Good speed though!

He pulled off cause his bike was bucking him and in the interview with Erin he was very honest before he realized maybe what he was saying could be misinterpreted.

We had an interview with a first time 450 rider who is a temp/fillin guy and only finished 6 laps?

Missed the feed but did they talk with Matthew Goerke who went 8 laps or Ryan Smith who went 5 laps or JA whoe went 4 laps? DId they talk with Benjamin Ritter, a local guy who went 14 laps? If not.. why not?

He had good times in practice, the track changed and his setup went bad, no big deal happens to a lot of rookies.

Smart move by C.C......no doubt. When you are running those speeds , you better have the bike under you at 100%. These guys are hauling some serious tail , and when they go down , they go down hard!

Goerke crashed, and when he was picking his bike up he got hit at full speed by someone coming over a hill. I think he crashed in the first turn also.

And that was after apparently setting fastest practice time.

I LOVED his interview. I knew he meant the setup was off. Refreshing.

Absolutely loved it. You could just run a tape of all the other interviews....'cept Chadley. He's says some things sometimes and you guy rag him on it, so now he has drifted PC.
