ITts not a commitment issue I know reeds a awesome racer but if he loses the tittle by a few points, i'm sure he would have wished they changed a wheel and got some points.

I have a question....why did they not change the front wheel on reeds bike and salvage some points? instead he just blames it on austin for coming down to earlly in a berm and sits on the sidelines and watches,thats racing in my eyes.
Was it a berm .... or when Stroupe moved into him off the start?

They would have had to go back to the semi to get another wheel and change it out. The race was only about 15 minutes long. How close are the semis in Anaheim?

Nah wasnt the start...He didn't blame austin. He said Austin cut down on a berm and that he didnt expect it and he ran into him and that it's racing. Do you not listen ktm?

I was wondering the same thing. Do the teams not have a spare wheel in the "mechanics" area? Why not put on a new front wheel and go out and get 1, 2, 3 or 4 points? It happened on the first lap and with the other DNF's, Reed would have at least ended up with a few points if they changed the wheel...it doesn't take long to switch it.



Not blaming Chad, but it seems like his mechanic would be all over it.
