Has TLD announced plans to do both coasts?
Would be nice, since the rig will be at all rounds IF Reed was to sign.

As great as that looks and how it would make since after his Aus SX testing, still seems odd.

I've heard rumors that they'd expand the team by one, and then have two riders on each coast.

Oh, and Reed's tweet was titled "2011?"

Just testing I bet. They put the numbers and stuff to "wine and dine". Give him a real feel for it. Wouldnt be surprised if he does sign that he gets to sign his own gear deal. I think its a good fit for him.

Yeah, I saw that. Interesting. We are in 2010 right?Smile

This thread was almost instantaneous; I checked his twitter and it literally was only a minute or so later.

I hope so, it'll give me a good reason to be a big Reed fan. Seems like a good career move to me to align himself with Red Bull and Lucas Oil, they could carry over into the car world with him after MX...

I know he says he is prepared for it, but if he ends up with no ride this season he is going to look like the girl who cried wolf! ha

It would include gear... If I had to hazard a guess. Wink

Your post confuses me, it says 2011?? because he is referring to possibly riding for TLD in the 2011 season, so what does it mean when you say it's 2010 right? Just asking because I don't get it. Also is your family involved in politics? your last name sounds familiar to me.

Does Troy Lee not make gear anymore?

Yeah, that's I what it meant, just worded that kinda poorly.

And no, my family isn't related, I'm from St Louis, MO. But in LA County there is a Michael Antonovich on the Board of Supervisors. From what I hear there is a Highway named after him too.

I think the story was about a boy who cried wolf...just saying. But I get the little dig.

I think at this point, the good part is that he has options. Now the interesting part will be to see if he, the teams and his agent can make any of those options work for him.

Hmm...the Troy Lee Designs / Lucas Oil / Honda crew does have an Aussie mechanic (Matt Jory) who's not currently assigned to any rider there...

I don't think there's an answer this point, other than Chad's testing with them today.

That bike looks killer. What's the name on the seat? If he did sign with them, wouldn't he be riding for them in 2011 SX and MX? I'm guessing that's what the 2011 remark was referring to?

I agree. TLD Honda and Red Bull KTM - best looking bikes in the pits!

I don't get too worked up over the Twitter stuff, but Reed to TLD would awesome.

Post-trip blues? Where's that razor sharp wit we expect to see? You need a Snickerdoodle to get your spirits up!

Chad Reed is becoming the LeBron James of Motocross.............

Either way, I would be very surprised to see him on the Troy Lee team, but that's just me.
