Agree Track went to hell. Reedy don't give up till he sees the Checkered Flag. Sucked that Villo fell twice.

Reed NEVER GIVES UP till he crosses the Finish line. I like Chads attitude and have alot of respect for him. Especially for not just walking away from the sport cause he couldn't find a ride. He loves the sport and he proved that by lining up on the line with his own team.

Dude that was AWESOME!

Congrats Chad on being back where you belong!

And no, I can't understand for the life of me how people can dismiss any of the top dogs. Any of them are capable of winning on any given night.

This season RULES!

If Reed gets his confidence back look out- Erin pointed out that his was showing something not right with the bike...These races could get better and better- He needs to start trying rto latch on to the front runner early on because he's obviously got the fitness and thgat last lap showed some speed too!

Stoked for Reed, he will keep getting better. Too bad they didn't show the Reed/Dungey battle for the last few laps so we could actually see Reed close that gap.

And didn't Trey pass Metty earlier? No mention of how he got back around.

Good on Reed. He works hard. Way to teach the youth about racing until the end.

Props to Reedy though. You're a effing moron if you think Chad is done. His season's just getting started.

CR22 stepped it up for sure. He could have been 24 points behind JS7 if he did not make that pass. Only 4 rounds into the series...that's a lot of points. JS or RV or anybody for that matter can still go down to injury (hope not)...so that was a statement by CR that he ain't done yet. Once he get's the honda dialed in...I don't doubt he could match the speed of RD anyday. He gotta get the starts and do what he does best...be consistent and pretty darn fast.

Reed had a ride with factory Kawasaki. He terminated his contract. He was offered a ride with Honda, but could not reach an agreement on salary.

Congratulations to Reed on a great ride last night.

I sure do admire Reed's honesty. 2nd place, and he's hasn't even completely worked the bugs out of the new bike. Can't wait until that sucker gets dialed in!

I'm super stoked for him!
GOOO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!

Not trying to rain on the Chad Reed love fest going on here, but Reed himself said he felt he rode better when he took 7th and that last night he rode like 'Crap"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM_2zeepigw

It's one race and Reed clearly seems to know he has a ways to go...

I guess Reed forgot to check in with you guys to see how well he did. Hahahaha

I have no dog in this fight. But I love the fact that Chad is going to show that that MC is not some type of God, and nothing more than a guy that wants to keep those Honda checks coming in.



MC is a true champion, but everything that comes out of his mouth is not a fact.

I really like MC, but he needs to get back to being the old MC, where he was always respectful to all of the riders.

No one said he rode great. Everyone is just pointing out how he didn't give up until he crossed the line. Reed doesn't have to check in on how he did either. As he pointed out in that video, riding well and where you end up sometimes are two totally different things.
