I hate to be brutal, but i think Chad and James have kind of stuck around too long. I don't think either of them can truly win a title. It's kind of sad seeing reed getting 15th at a race when just a few years ago he was one of the best in the world. In good shape or not I just think he doesn't have the ability or maybe the mental side to hang it out like he would have before having kids and the past few crashes.

I've been a fan of chad since 2002, I just think him and James may have stuck around racing too long to win championships. If they are there to have fun or possibly win a few more races that is great but let's be honest neither one is winning another championship.

Given enough time to prep I suspect Reed would do very well. Top ten for sure, top 5's, a few podiums, maybe a moto win.

He is serious. Were talking motocross, not supercross. Chad needs to get in racing shape and hope to be a top 10 guy but showing up to random races is not a formula for success. He just doesn't have the speed anymore. He was 3 seconds slower a lap than Covington on a 250, and Covington is barely top 20 in the 250 class. He did only complete a few laps so maybe he had bike problems or is injured? But....he will never be a contender in an outdoor race again. He had his day and I for one like that he is racing still. Lets just recognize that it's about the enjoyment (and maybe the money) at this point.

you must be kidding ? top 5 or a moto win ? when was the last time you watched MXGP ?

we are talking about MX he ?? if he would get top 10 it would be good result for Chad , if he wants top 5 or podium he should race only SX

Does anyone remember Chads 2014 des Nations effort.
Pretty on par with his effort so far.
From what I've been told is he is only there by the demands of Monster not his own.
Seeing these performances won't be improving his negotiating power remember he's up for contract again.

He's not doing these because he wants to, it's in his Monster contract. Same reason you'll see a lot of Monster guys at the USGP

I've watched every race since 2012...

Anybody who bets against Reed is a fool. He has proven so many "Experts" wrong it's ridiculous. I didn't say he would win the championship, or win GP overalls.

I do think he would be a consistent top ten, maybe a podium or two. If the situation was just right he might pull off a moto win.

Why does Monster put thier cherished riders through a embarrasing "Monster Energy Swan Song Tour" in the GP circuit. Would be a better promo to send over the younger crop of riders to boost the company's image. Monster Energy Geritol?

I think Chad is smart enough to see that he's "over" in US racing...and sees that maybe he can have some fun in his last couple of years in the sport, and can save face at the same time by doing the MXGP's next year. The pressure is off him there, and all he has to do is have fun. Reed gets a lot of media traction because of the champion & legend that he is, and that has to be a good thing for Yamaha.

He hasn't been the same outdoors since Chadapult. He was killing it that year until he was almost killed.

Even when a thread has nothing to do with Stewart leave it to you to bring him into the conversation, in a negative light of course.

You can bet Chad has a pretty lucrative contract with Monster/Yamaha and he is such a pro at interviews & manipulating social media that even if he rarely if ever makes it into the top-10, it's still a win-win deal for him & his sponsors. He guy will quit when it's not fun anymore.

It was a comparison example. In your world. I guess the truth is negative. Mine is reality.
