All

A1 and A2 Reed had the faster lap times but JS finished 1st in Phoenix and A2 and here are the main event fastest lap times for Phx: 1 7 00:51.848 Main Event James M. Stewart Haines City, FL Yamaha YZ450F 2 1 00:51.911 Main Event Chad Reed Tampa, FL Suzuki RM-Z450

I wouldn't pay that much for a pony in that rpm range either.

Really Chad was faster the 1st 3 rounds of 2009?

I don't seem to remember it like you do. "Reed obviously faster than Stewart"? "Should have easily won the 1st 3 rounds" Maybe you should go back and look at those 1st three races with open eyes and mind.

There was an almost identical article last year or the year before.

I have to laugh at you for thinking he won't be around. Barring injury he has said more than once he is going after the most SX wins. 2 years winning every race doesn't get him there.

Do you really think that Akrapovic is trying to compete with FMF and PC's sale with the free hat?

A hair off his pace when he is on? How many races was he "on" last year and what was JS's margin of victory after he coasted the last half of the final lap?

Good to see you are objective. I have found that usually the phones mic sucks and you can't really get a good, clean recording. Have you tried it on your own bikes?

Honda controls that circuit too huh? Wow. They are the almighty. Would motorcycle racing become extinct if Honda quit making motorcycles.

I go with out of shape and probably dehydrated.

I agree. I also think he has matured as a racer and doesn't make as many mistakes as he used to when he was trying to hold off or catch Ricky.

Interesting. He was pushed many times last season, yet he seemed to crash when Reed was further back and not pushing him.

I am with you, unfortunately the majority aren't.

You are blaming that on Honda? That is rich.

Isn't the CRF250 as loud or louder than the 450?

Peaked? That is funny. They all love racing more than the work during the week.

I really don't know why I am going on with this. A.) I don't really give a shit. B.) It started as a joke to even put horse racing in there. But since you want to keep going. Here ya go. Happy Thanksgiving: http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20070504&Category=SPORTS&ArtNo=105040008&SectionCat=&Template=printart I am assuming motorcycle racing is including ALL motorcycle racing and if I had to guess...

mccread gets it.
