Many fair weathered fans have fallen off the Reed Wagon. Just two years ago seems like so many had a slobbering love affair with him. He could do no wrong.

Well that dude was not the fastest. He didn't get the best starts. But he displayed a very smart approach to A1. He used practice to well......uh.... Practice. Then he just tried to pass early off the gate when he could and then settle into a pace that was safe and fast enough for a great result. As I look around I see a lot of empty seats up here on the wagon. Come climb back on, we'll be glad to have ya back.

So stoked for him.

Been a Reed fan since he got here on the YZ250F. He's been a bit tough to stomach off and on over the years though. Hell, he almost seemed suicidal back when he, RC and Stewart were leaving everyone else in SX damn near a lap down. Those three guys were killing everyone but not being able to hand RC and Stew their asses was killing him. Gotta love that level of desire. Seeing him have a good time out there is a treat, his style on the bike is pretty damn amazing. Just like Windham, seeing him on top of the box isn't as important as just seeing him out there.

Never got off either, there may not be another championship but the days of battling for it aren't over.

But damn, damn, damn, was it ever exciting to see him on top. Wink

No way is Reed capable of winning a supercross anymore at his age. This just supports my theory that Feld runs supercross like the WWF, controlling who wins and loses. It's a retro race with a bunch of former winners/champions being honored so who better to represent that than Reed who himself will be a member of that club soon. It just sickens me to see this happen.

Ok, on the other hand, it could be that Reed is just so damn gnarly that he just willed himself to the front of the most talented field of supercross racers this sport has ever seen...
