He hasn't signed for a team in Europe, hasn't signed for a team in USA. What is the general opinion of what he might do in 2013?

In defence of Mccread Pourcel and from what I saw on TV and read he looked pretty damn good in USA when he was there and in Europe he struggled apart from that 2006 season. Even this year he has never looked like he was going to win the MX1 title. While in America he came within a few points...

I remember telling people Reed will win titles and race with RC and people saying I was a clown/fool/tool/wanker/on drugs and a bunch of other stuff. Herlings is brilliant in sand, but he isn't a Chad Reed or Grant Langston in my opinion. Those two had a burning desire I haven't seen since and might never see. The next Reed...

He has the potential to get a terrible start and still win easily. That is something I am looking forward to seeing. If he gets beaten by an American I am going home early, hahaha.

I know mate, never said any different. Funny story when I first met him it was at the Spanish GP, and he had his straight up, no BS style of talking. I remember thinking, this guys a wanker. He hardly qualified for the GP because he had injured his hand, but I was like, sure mate, talk all you want...

Langston, Langston, Langsto was actually 11 years ago, but yes, Reed, Reed, Reed was 10 years ago. To be honest I haven't felt the need to do that since. Those two were and are special riders. We have sent over some great GP riders since, McFarlane, Pourcel, Rattray, Musquin and Roczen, and only Roczen in my eyes is close to...

Unfortunately he came in at the start of the American recession and the World has changed since then. I feel for riders who just missed that era of huge dollars. They all deserve to make whatever they can. He has shown in Europe this year that he doesn't have the fighting determination of Cairoli and to be honest he probably...

Good point, and I agree. I can't see Team USA getting beaten next weekend, the circuit will suit them better than most think. Apart from Herlings, Cairoli and maybe Roczen I don't see too many having a chance of beating the American riders. Geoff

AMA is pretty stacked if their all fit, thats for sure. Would still love to see top ten from each class going head to head. Wouldn't need 40 riders to make that race amazing. Or how about top 15 MX1 and MX2 mixed. 30 of the best in the World going at it.

DC, I am not slagging of the Nationals, but when a guy tried to put the GPs down by mentioning how 160 riders tried to qualify for an AMA National, and tells me 80 guys went home from a National with no money (and I am assuming they pay the AMA to get the chance to qualify), then I will...

Love how Dave the old CAS truck driver got up there. The whole Team USA decked out in red, white and blue and good old Dave in his blue truck driving t-shirt.
