I think there's about 3 new sheriffs..rd is soo much closer this last week his prep throughout showed and tc was in 7th place on 1st lap...he was putting a wheel on leaders within first 4 laps...if hadn't botched his rythm rv would have had a fight...cr came from a horrific crash to 7th laying dwn a time 4tenths off leaders very late in the race...you can almost feel the confidence building in these guys and the frustration for say james who I don't think has really had to deal with multiple people that can force him to ride the edge...when he got out front and was probably trying to ride fast but comfortable like johnny o s telling him rv and rd started closing up on him while almost battling...winners are gonna have to ride the edge in a full sprint and be mistake free...and I believe there are 5 guys that can do it

I don't get the reasoning behind people saying he's the best now because he's won 2 main events this year...

Wait until the end of the season, if he ever finishes one, then you can all talk about how good your favorite rider is.

I think it's funny how everyone's favorite is only the fastest riders... Some people like JS, some like RV. Quit pretending to be fans of them.

I like KW, im not like most other people that just pick the winner as their favorite.

KW is the most skilled rider out there. =P

Three races in and there is a new sheriff? How many big bike championships does RV have? And how many does JS have? Also what about Reed and Dungey?

When RV wins a CHAMPIONSHIP then you might want to talk about a new Sheriff.

He is fast and has won two of the three but the season isn't even a quarter of the way through. The nutsucking that was going on last year for Dungey has already been surpassed by the 2 win RV nutsucking this year!

not to mention a perfect season outdoors!

I especially thought it was funny last week saying "Just hanging back waiting for a mistake"... Hey, dudebromanbud, seems thats what Dungey did to you last year and it worked out pretty well... Then again maybe he already knows that and has decided to adopt the strategy because of it

Yes Racer 92, James is faster. He went down and was about 7 seconds down on RV and finished about 2 seconds behind AFTER repassing TC and RD for a 2nd time. I guess you must have missed that part. As for lap times in a main event, will having ONE fastest lap out of TWENTY win a race for you every time out? No, James had the fastest laps everywhere in A1. Where did that land Stewart?

Did you catch the first 10 laps of the race, or do you just ignore that part?

What does the 1st 10 laps have to do with anything? It's the last 10 laps that count. You can be the fastest guy the first part of any race. What will that get you? Andrew Short did this all the time in the Outdoors last Summer. How many overalls did he win?

why you went there i have no idea, and dont say his laptimes blah,blah or he hasnt gotten a start, he should have gotten a start by now .........3 races in he has yet to finish on the box his confidence is way down and he is already a complete race behind R.V............reed is no longer a contender, dungey isnt there yet..........R.V blew by him and never looked back....RD was leading and lost it to JS and RV, he is getting better though.......will be pretty hard to beat RV now with his confidence, speed, and mental toughness that few can match

Here's what RV brings to the table:

Little bastard puts his head down and goes balls to the wall, start to finish. He ain't afraid of nothing. Stewart is fast and aggressive but "older".

Dungey is smooth and good, but I'm afraid among this crowd he may be satisfied to let someone else have a "taste of the glory".

Canard,...that little freak is the wrench in the blender.,,,gotta love him.

Reed's done. Windham is to be respected and is happily collecting a paycheck. Brayton, Metcalfe, Short, will shoot it out for the best "couldof" of the year.

Out.

Exactly, maybe MXR should get off of RV's nuts, and realize that he ISNT the fastest.

prettty sure it was gnarly out there..james reportedly almosdt ate it 3 x and went down hard in practice- RV washed out on a track taking on rain got up battled with the current champ and Reed. RV sits 2 points down in the championship and is training with the sports best who by the way peaks his athletes for the 2nd half(eastcoast section of series) all the while sstill showing that he is within 2/10's of James's best lap...He'll be fine if thats his bad night!

Technically, whoever won the race and is in the points lead is faster. Anyone can twist the throttle, ride over their head and crash... just sayin'

HeyCarlosnacho- I got no problem with you but if you think RV is outta this thing because he had a bad night on a slick track you should change your name to Carloslocco...RV had a bad night how many of those has your sheriff had? and what did they look like? It's very ealry in the series and tonight's bad night 4th could be the series winning race for all you know..I'll look at the scoreboard and notice it took the guy that was expected to win,... 4 races to take over from a damn near crippled RV 16 months earlier and last but not least when will you people learn...never underestimate the power of a red head....especially a pissed off one-

Statistically this season, James is better...

He's in the points lead, and has finished on the podium all 4 races so far (2 of them being wins)

RV has only finished on the podium 3 races, and tied with JS at 2 wins...

Like i said, James = points leader, so if you want to use "statistics" James is better so far... jus' sayin...
