Should be a decent 8-10 with the field how it is now. Would have been better earlier before so many of the other guys picked it up

Chad guys? So if someone calls you out because you are wrong, it makes them biased?

BTW, it's semantics. Don't worry, I got the point.

JGR Team Deal with Scott, Chad has a personal deal with Oakley.

From what pictures have been released it looks like he's running Scott on the bikes graphics and Oakley goggles.

Glad to see two brands come together to get a bike on the track.

Nope. And I’ll admit chads lack of sportsmanship and the way he carries himself I’m not a fan of. Windham was always a class act.

This is the guy that was bashing the nationals on DMXS in the last year basically saying it is a waste of time and it should just all be supercross. Now he is excited to ride

The fact is Chad hasn't retired or made a "comeback'. That's not an opinion. Someone called you out for it and your response is to blame him for being a "Chad guy". I'm not a Chad guy (I do appreciate him still being involved in the sport and respect his ability to do things his way), but I had the same thought as MAV when I read your post.

An example of an opinion is you calling me an internet tough guy. I simply value logic, spelling/grammar, facts, and a general avoidance of grouping people as a defense mechanism. While I disagree with your opinion of me, you are more than welcome to it. It doesn't affect my ability to keep being me.

So it’s not about the “comeback”, it’s just that you don’t like Reed. Why the hell do you click on a Reed thread.

Look ......the factory team James's was on , is different from what JGR runs now. They get factory support , but it isn't quite the same , as JGR does a lot of stuff in house. And in the press release it mentions the factory Suzuki team .....JGR isn't listed in the actual statement ( the name of the team ) .

The old Suzuki semi went to Ronnie Stewart's team in 2017.

Maybe he just wants to get out there and race a national again? Who cares where he finishes?

I hope he enjoys himself and gets fired up for SX.

Why in the press release does it not mention JGR? I understand they are the factory Suzuki team , but they worded in the same way James's old team was. Why I was confused a bit ago.

All their rider's are hurt as of this week. For sponsorship duties they need a bike out there. Chad wasn't doing anything.

He'll go 8/7 for 7th overall but will get good starts and be up front (top 5) until he suffers from "age fade".This will be his tryout for supercross next year and he will succeed.He is probably in better shape and healthier now than he was during the whole of the SX season.One thing he has always been able to do wether you like it or not is come up big when he has too.And right now if he doesn't want to pay out of his own pocket to race he kind of has too.

Jeffro, it literally says he asked to test the bike at JGRMX's track. It mentions team manager Jeremy Albrecht and then lists JGR's website to go to for more info at the end.

Pretty sure I saw a post by JGR that Hill is ready to go for this weekend.
