I was listening to the Josh Hill Podcast this week and he brought up a great point when Matthes asked him about James and Chad. He said that with Chad, he rides just like everyone else but the reason that he is so fast is because he does what everyone else can do better. He puts in perfect laps with more intensity. He basically has mastered his talent level. James on the other hand is a complete mystery. When you watch him, he makes all kinds of mistakes, yet somehow he never fails to turn the fastest lap. His talent is so great that he is basically on his own level. Nobody else can do what he does even if they rode perfect for the basic reason that they don't have the talent. That is why RC's balls and determination are also unbelievable. This is why I tend to root for Chad. He is very talented, but not on the same level. He has to work so much harder at going that fast and the fact that he is in this championship is a credit to the effort that he puts in.

I agree, it's weird that the guy with the #1plate and the points lead is the under dog. I have found myself rooting for Reed even though I have always been a huge Stewart fan.

Reed has gained a lot of new fans this year.

The real difference is neither one will ever be crowned the GOAT!

Stewart is a smarter racer then people give him credit for, problem is his talent allows him to go so much faster that he does make those mistakes that have kept Reed in this fight.

I'm just hoping that Reed can win that one race out of the next 3 "straight up" to prove once and for all that he can run with him

No one is ever "given" anything in supercross, if you could ride a bike you'd know that.

That's what I was thinking. Josh Hill explained it better....

ok, if Stewart is "giving" away wins, why doesn't he give some to Short, Hill, or maybe even his team mate. Why give them only to Reed. hmmm....They must be best buds.

What I see is that if Reed rides perfect, he can stay in touch some days, especially with Stewart making the occasional bobble.

If they are riding together, and Reed bobbles, he can't get back that second or two he lost and (somewhat) clocks off (for his speed anyway). I hope this changes soon. Last round was great fun to watch. I'm very jealous of those who saw it in person!

Another difference is: 1 DNF, no DNF.

hey genius, that's an example of how they are the same, not different.
