Didn't Windham ride with STOCK suspension last year ?
Townley seem to do just fine when he wasn't on the ground
Kyle Regal need I say more
I know Jeremy is just pimping the source of his pay check but come on
An established team like Honda would have more test riders and engineers/opinions to pool together and more man hours to dedicate to finding a good setup overall....
I think Reed can do it, but what Jeremy was basically saying was that its a real serious balancing act being the manager and the rider too. It's hard and Reed has got his work cut out for him, i hope he does well and has the right people working with him because i want to see him on the box this year.
Reed is not a dumb business man, there must be an angle? We didn't find out about the Lloyds of London policy until late in the season.

I was surprised how honest, controlled but honest, he was with his comments about Reed and Christophe Pourcel. He didn't sugar coat it.
So, he's not a fan of Pourcel!
I'm guessing he also means that you have to have the right 10 or 12 other people working on the team to support the riders - managers, mechanics, PR, trainers, etc.
Doing it alone like Reed is going to do is not the same, and MC should know from personal experience.
Who knows. If Reed makes it work in 2011, he's going to look like a fucking genius. If he fails, he'll look like a chump. The old "Love and Hate is just a shot away" type of sentiment.
Some of the biggest Primma donnas in this sport, are the old stars, that are always talking about how they did this, and they did that, and todays guys have no heart bla bla bla. They sound like some fat unhappy nobody that want to talk about their old high school football days.
Move on.
Stewart himself has said the his target is McGrath's record of 72 supercross wins. After being in the sport for as long as he has, with the breadth of experience he has (on AND off the track), McGrath is in a unique position to comment on and/or question the likelyhood of someone eclipsing his record.
I found his honesty and openness extremely refreshing. To me, he did NOT sound (or look) like a "fat unhappy nobody" talking about his old days. And when coupled with his unquestionable expertise in the sport, it made for an awesome video.
Throughout his career MC was head and shoulder above the rest of the field. RC started beating him, MC retired, and then RC had to work pretty hard to keep guys like DV, Chad, and JS behind. To me that says something about the level of the competition RC had to face.
There is no denying the huge impact MC had on SX. These days I don't see anybody else getting 7 championships. It's not going to happen.
But the baddest dude in my mind is RC. He was able to win after the mechanics of being fast on an SX track had been well understood and talented kids grew up practicing them.
I think the King has been around a long enough time and knows how to read a lap time and compare- James raised the bar and now the level is being lifted by the hungry- thats what happens-
I think he said something to the effect of, "That record will fall"
Matthes may remeber........or maybe I am wrong.
Fan of both MC and James, that said I do not think James can get that record.

Oh well, for those of you who do care, sorry I can’t spill the beans just yet. This should be an exciting weekend none the less.

I think McGrath's points were all spot on, the man knows of what he speaks.
He looks great on the bike too. The guy is pushing 40 and I have absolutely no doubt he could still be very competitive out there if he applied himself.
By the way....I aint harping on you or trying to start any crap , i'm just sayin' you seem to have a slight grudge against MC for speaking his mind a little.
