Look at Juha Salminen. He came over in the GNCC series, kicked the living shit out of everyone for two years then went home. What did he still have to prove at that point? I think I read that he just wanted to be in his home country.
As a fan of motorcycling, I like all the series and all the riders. I don't care where a guy is from, if he can ride, he can ride. Juha from Finland, Knigher from Isle of Man, Townley from NZ, Pourcel from France, all certified badass dudes on a dirtbike. Carmichael from FLA as well.
On another note, I think we have better MX tracks here in the US. I think the old school GP tracks were pretty cool, but these new venues to me just look kind of boring and all the same. They seem to lack personality.
Roczen can't wait to ride in the US. Musquin would like to go. Everts had his period he would like to go. Desalle would like to go. ....
So the first part Reed said is right. The second part however. I don't know what he's talking about ... . Maybe because there aren't much good riders in the GP's? He right about that.
Would Chad have got a ride in AMA if he hadn't of competed in the gps? Doubt it.
Been saying it for years, Reed has made a great American out of himself!
America #1
His opinion doesn't really matter to me, he chose to race in the US a long time ago so its always been obvious which series/ racing/lifestyle he prefers. But as a seasoned professional, admired by fans across the globe, I expected more from the him.
Pit Row
A person can choose which one he likes better right? There may be other riders out there that think differently than he does. There may be some guys here in the states who really miss the GP's , and some racers over in the GP series maybe can't wait to get over here.
I always thought the GP series was really cool because you get to travel the globe racing , and see different cultures and so forth. But I think a lot of the riders know deep down inside that ( for right now ) the USA nationals are a little faster. More interesting??....maybe not , but a think they are a little faster.
I can also see where Chad isn't saying that about Europe so much as just the way the Organizer treats the riders by gouging them for entry and not having prize money.
BMan-
I think Reed has earned the right to speak his mind through his blood, sweat, and tears (as well as victories.) If that is what he thinks, so be it. It's his opinion. I'll tell you what though, if Europe and the GPs were as great as the fans try to say they are, virtually all of top talent would NOT be leaving as fast as they can get a U.S. ride.
BMan- Proud to be an "American"
Riders are running not walking away from the GP's and they (Youthstream) are chasing them here (USA) it's almost like some sick sort of spousal abuse where the Husband chases his wife from Country to Country trying to make her come back.
Nobody disputes that the US offers more opportunities than Europe if you are a professional SX-MX athlete. However, between this truth and Chad's words there is a big difference; Reed missed a chance to behave like a champion.
Now you know why there was a falling out with him and The Sand Manual brand of Missionary Position Indians...
