revoked? I think so.....And I bet Dungey and especially WINDHAM agree. He shouldnt be out there. He's dangerous to not only himself, but everyone else on the track as well.

Time to hang up your boots RC, take your 3year old clapped out Honda, and ride into the sunset. Not hating, just telling it like it is. Trust me, he's not making any friends in the pits.

Didn't he make the main? If he is that bad shouldn't other riders make the main over him that didn't?

Dealing with slower riders are part of racing. Ryan had to qualify in order to get to the night show, and since he did qualify, he had every right to be on that track with everyone else.

You're clueless. If he needs to have his license revoked than so do a lot of other people that can't even make the main. Lappers have always been a big part of SX and as tight as the tracks are sometimes the corners get a little crowded.

what bullshit is that you are pulling from behind your computer, based on watching a race on TV, sitting on a couch? Come on get real. The guy was in the Main.

Stop these kind of stupid threads.

Clark is a good racer. Bad timing does not make him a bad guy.

As far as making friends in the pits, I am willing to bet he could give 2 shits.

Maybe there should just be 10 riders in the main, would that be better? I was talking on the phone to a friend last night during the main and we were joking about him getting in everyones way, but it was just in fun. I've been a sponsor of Ryans for almost ten years so I've always paid attention to him. Nobody out there is more aware of the top guys coming by than Ryan. Whatever happened with Windham was Kevin Windhams fault, he's the one coming up on the lapper and it's his job to make it by safely. I didn't see it but Ryan made the descision on where to be, too bad Winham didn't chose the safe way around. People talk about Reed crying, Windhams comment was about as whiny bitch as you can get. Second only to yours. If I thought it was warrented I would look up a list of well known riders who Ryan was faster than in qualifying so the AMA can assess their licenses.

I've been following RC's career since he turned pro and am a HUGE fan. HE is always in great shape, works hard, is consistent and is a very smart rider ( basically the polar opposite of Bubba Smile ). And I guarantee you, it was just a racing incident and nothing intentional or dumb on Ryan's part.

Ryan Clarke is a very experienced, fit and track savvy rider and he has every right to be out there. testuser......not so much.

If defending someone from an unwarrented attack is taking the bait then I love worms.

as KW14 pointed out, RC needs to be reminded to HOLD YOUR LINE.

see how easy that was?

i commented about this same thing in another thread. I dont give 2 shits who it is, you making the main in this case is NOT the issue.

Go rewatch the race, he wasnt even CLOSE to riding a pace! His pace by lap 8 or 9 slowed to the point he wasnt even remotely going his qualifying pace! He was rolling jumps, coming to a virtual stop in corners. Lappers going 5 to 10 seconds off the pace is one thing, riders going 30 seconds off the pace where another. Hell guys, ANY of us could have rode his pace!

If he wasnt going to go any faster than what he was going, being a savey racer he should have pulled off.

Thats gotta be the dumbest thread I've ever read. And yeah, I took the bait, so here it comes...
I'm sure that Dungey, and Windham didn't lose as much sleep as you did over this.
First lets remember that Ryan has been doing this for a long time and surely knows how to hold a line. Ryan was jumping 2-2-1 through that section like MOST riders were. Windham went 2-3 through it but jumped to the inside rather than outside where he would have made it through with a much better outcome. Minor incident. No ones fault. Unfortunately, contact happened. This is racing!
But why hate on the guy who works 40+ hours a week behind the parts counter of his shop, shows up to the track in a van with carseats in it, and yes, rides a 3 year old bike, and MAKES IT IN THE MAIN? Or, you could stay on the bandwagon and cheer for the guy with the multimillion dollar contract who flew to the race in his private jet, with his agent, trainer, gear guy, hairdresser, shoe guy, sandwich maker, personal assistant...Anyone who makes the main of a supercross race, on the pace, or not, is faster than the vast majority of motocross riders on this planet.
Regardless, it doesn't matter who you think should or shouldn't be out there. Nice try at kicking a good dude in the nuts.
Haters gonna hate.
