There was something to be gained when RC played it safe.  He was in the lead and was trying to protect the championship, even then that approach almost cost him when things didn't go quite as planned.  And for the record I think there was a lot less protect mode this year and more he just didn't have enough for James indoors.

I don't for a second think RC had James covered by 45 seconds, I just don't understand why James would let him go without trying?  James was 16 or more seconds back with less than a half a moto to go and kept trying to catch Reed until he did, why? likely because he knew he could.  Yes James won moto one, sounds like a great battle was had until RC had to toss his googles and at that point he pretty much had to concede his finish.

Like I said it just seems like they were so focused on the  smaller picture (the OA) that he and his team lost site of the big picture.  Either way it looks like we are in for some great battles outside.  Any distinct advantage James had inside he does not appear to have outside so it's going to be tooth and nail.
