Winning Moto 2 does not mean you stand in the middle of the podium, unless you also won the overall. Which you didn't.

Chad got his...and it was funny as hell.

Mikey plugged for KTM like a Media-Pro.

It was a good day.

Note to Mike: Keep it up. We love slamming these Douchebags that bitch in here.

I know its how it works... but i think that Mike was the best rider that day...

You know, like Pourcel was the best rider last year and should have won the championship.

Chad Reed didn't get passed all day and had more points than Mikey, who got dropped bad in the first moto by JG33.

How was he the best rider that day Dirtydane? Seriously? Are you one of those guys who gets passed by 5 guys on the last lap because he can't hang on anymore, but claims he won because he led more laps? It's 30+2 for a reason.

as Aussies were so proud the day Jeff Liesk made an ama 450 podium, Micheal Byrne and Jake Moss have also done it to and we get a buzz as a nation, now Chad rules, you Americans must be so proud of Mike Allessi and Davi Millsaps also.

I figure most people will.

But _I_ think Mike rode awesome.

About the Pourcel thing i just wrote that to piss the last guy of that didnt like it when _I_ thought Mike rode best.

I think Pourcel would have won without bike problems, but still its part of the game.

Dungey ended up champion and he absolutely deserved it.

In the 1st moto...

Mike got passed like his bike had stopped...and...right at the end of the race.
The 33 jus' leaped Right By and Mike had NOTHING.

I think you missed that.

Meanwhile, Chad had run-away jus' like Mike did in the 2nd moto.

Then there's Chad's 'Move thru the Pack' that wasn't matched by ANYONE...not even R.D.

So, to re-cap, the Best Rider of the Day was...Chad Reed.

As for Pourcel: Sour Grapes. WHO got the #1 plate?

If you read the earlier comments, i commented about that Pourcel thing.

And if I think Mike rode best, cant i think that?

Yes; but. you're still a Pommie, Mate!

No worries. I hear what you're sayin'...

You should be proud. You guys have been kickin' ass for a while.

I know...I'm a Doohan fan.

You're obviously not seeing things from Mike's perspective. It's called the fatal attribution error. Look at the situation he was in. He was coming into a race on a bike that was not proven. It's 100cc's less than all the other bikes that lined up on the gate with him. For him to holeshot, and win the race was a huge victory, not only for the sake of winning a moto, but a victory in KNOWING, not believing the bike was capable of winning.

Even I can't argue that logic. Reed was smooth and fast. Where the hell has that Chad been hiding?

450 Class (Moto Finish)

1. Chad Reed, Australia, Kawasaki (1-3) = 25 + 20 = 45 points

2. Mike Alessi, Victorville, Calif., KTM (4-1) = 18 + 25 = 43 points

I'm sort of disturbed by how this sort of math is so challenging for you.

He seems to have started his "out-door" testing as far back as the week(s) after Daytona...

...all the while...

He left some clues...

The "Fastest-Lap" at Daytona...I accused him of fckin' with everyone...he had an evil smile when the comment was made...

Vegas...he rode a pretty damn good race...all things considered.

He hasn't gotten to where he is by bein' timid. He's far more calculating than we give him credit for...

And Chad said "Let's get a REAL bike in the middle" and booted him off. Mike got butt hurt. Life goes on.

Disagree. While he can get excited as he wants (victory lap was overkill as well) about winning a moto, the only bike that goes on the podium is the winners. There has never been any gray area. I bet Everts , while happy with the moto win, was cringing at the sight. Coupled with his press conference he has managed to give more of the field serious bulletin board material.

He didn't win. He just made himself look like an asshole taking credit for something that ``almost`happened``.
