I am also rooting for REED 22. I have mad respect for a guy who is doing it only because he wants to. I have not been following SX for a long long time and I do not know why people do not like him.
Not that this will change or sway....not my intent.....
Four teams in four years.
Four bikes in four years.
I know better than to try to engage you or prove a point....but....if you honestly believe that he is doing it "because he wants to", I just don't know what to say. Do you think MC failed to make a profit/living when he started his own team? Reed is pulling down coin out of this deal, just to be clear. His sponsors are paying him. He is making money. To believe otherwise is just silly. I doubt your company is in it to not make money Fred? Neither is Tu-tu. And I certainly don't have a problem with that......but there's this notion out there that he's doing it for the love.....and it just ain't true!
There's a reason he has had to move from team to team to team to team. And it isn't because he's the nicest, even keeled, low drama person to work with :coocoo: . He's a drama queen....as far as I'm concerned. He's been on more teams in the last 4-5 years than Windham has been on in the last 18 years!!! There's a reason for it.....
He's got mad skills on a bike. He's fast......and when he lites a fire under his butt, he's hard to beat. But, I think he's a jackwaggon. Jason Lawrence is fast too......I don't care for him either.
Villopoto and Dungey both have been loyal and apparently gracious with their employers.....who make them quite wealthy (as have Reed's previous 4 employers).
This has been a great series. Might even have more players than the 1989 season. Fun to watch, that's for sure. :cool:
