note to self pack A game for tomorrow...


It seems to me, that if Chad doesn't make a statement now, it's going to be a very long summer.

Very true. He needs to do something and fast before it's to late. I still have faith in the guy and hope he can rebound with some overall wins. He's Chad effin Reed!

Me too, but, last year he won it on consistency. That ain't gonna get it done at his point, imo.

All he has to do is get in Dungey head, it has worked in the past.

oh boy, give me a break man!! That was so 3 years ago...

Chad can win without stupid jaillaw games, he is waaay above that and it wouldn't work anyway.. remember he's got the #1 plate and he knows it.

Dungey is the guy to beat right now, but there are 16 motos left, and one non-point-scoring moto by RD and Chad's right back in the hunt.

It's not like Chad is doing bad, but I wonder if there is a chance he isn't hanging it out as much now that he's a new dad? I don't know if that's the case, but if it was I wouldn't blame him.

Chad should make a note to ask Josh Grant if he can borrow his throttle hand?

Maybe RV's... It's been fused in the WFO position. Cool

Exactly. But you can bet Ryan will be on his A game every race.
But anything can happen in this business...

He's "Chad effin Reed" says it all.

Amazing rider. Consistent, mature, and patient.

If he fails this year, it was because he decided to. If he decided to get up front, he'll be there.

Head games aren't immature, bad tactics, playing dirty or all the other stupid things people think and say. The mental side of every sport is EXTREMELY important, often equal to or more important then the physical side.

If Chad feels he needs to get inside Dungey's head and mess him up a bit to get this championship I'm sure he will try.

Look at all the bashing on Alessi by other riders lately: eg Chad asking why the Navy Seal didn't do very well the other weekend. Has no one thought that this could be linked to his poorer results in the last few weeks. I'm not saying it is, I too have heard the overtraining rumours etc, but it could be a factor.

The mind is an integral part of a competitor, I think we have seen this proven with Chad and James in the last couple of years trying to play games with each others minds. What's to say Chad won't do it with Dungey?

I think Villopoto knows the power of the mind and I think at the end of the SX season he had Dungey worried and confused, it was just unlucky that RV went down.

chad will be fine just wait and see. Dungey will have a bad moto or two. Reed has his out of the way. Reed won't panic, Dungey might when things get close.

Quote from MXA,

“The best place for me to win is this weekend in Colorado. I go fast there, I know the track, and the weather should be good. Hopefully I should finally get a 450 overall win there.”

Reed knows how long the season is and knows how to "peak" at the right time. Not sure if RD knows this as well or not. Maybe RD has yet to "peak" but I'm pretty sure Reed hasn't yet.

These are all facts because I typed them on the internet.

Yeah yeah, but what happens when Dungey gets himself a big ass set of diamond stud earrings too? He'll be unstoppable then!!

Seems like Chad only wins when the faster guys are out and Dungey is still healthy... I suggest that last year was his last title...

That's what I was going to say. Last week was his chance, but Dungey beat him to the punch.

Reed is not only up against Dungey but also team Suzuki and his old bike which he knows is quite a bit better than the one he is on. Dungey has that thing doing whatever he wants it to and Reed seems like he is fighting his at times just like Alessi is.

As much as I like Reed ( I mean he is my favorite rider by far ) I just find it hard to believe that anyone will win against Roger Decoster and Mike Gosselaar for a while, they are just too damn good.
