Good besides saying Reed took a shot as JS in Pheonix 010 where they collided and Reed broke his hand.
That truly was a racing accident that type of stuff happens every day.

Other then that Spot on.

Yep. And I think that's probably why Big James was so pissed at the end of it all. James should've had second.

But something tells me this will be corrected very soon...

I'm thinking that's why Big James was so pissed after the race. They didn't show that on tv.

Stewart said he was trying to get him to go to the pitts because 7 was so mad and his dad knew he would say some things he would regret, damage controll. Erin was swooping in with camera crew in tow.

Big James was trying to get Bubba back to the pits before he said something to the cameras that he would regret later.

This refueled rivalry between Reed and Stewart might have been the best thing that could've happened for Villopoto, Dungey and Canard. They will be the benefactors from it.

What I find funny is that Emig says"it's about to get dirty" he knew it, we knew it, even Sheheen knew it. Stewie was the only oblivious one. I think it was silly for Stewart to dodge the interview. Get in front of the mic and say what you mean, there is nothing wrong with that.

Good stuff. I forgot all about the take out move Reed tried on Bubba in Vegas.

+1

the only thing dodging will do is open the flood gates like Vegas 2009 when JS missed the media day press conference

Good read, thanks for posting this. This is gonna be good. The differnce now is Stewart is not dominating and CR and RV are at least close to JS speed. And JS is just not used to it. He has little to no experience at having someone hounding him for 20 laps.
I was always afraid JS would quit if he could'nt dominate and do his dances. I respect him more because at least so far, he has not quit.
CR did nothing to JS that JS would not have done to CR. JS had better take some defense lessons. Maybe Hansen and Barcia could show him any weak spots he has. They're great at taking people out and maybe they know how to avoid other riders returning the favor. Nah, they've just been lucky so far.

Dude, no disrespect, why the hell do you guys keep saying this???

James and Ricky battled for many, many epic races. I mean, does no one here remember past last year???

excellent write up....should be required reading for all the butt-nuggets whining about Reed's last ditch effort to make something happen in that final lap.

Thanks, Mooch.

Who wouldn't take someone out to win a 450cc main event on the last lap?

Sorry Nerd, your opinion doesn't change fact. Reed made a stupid move.
