Houston, we have a spoiler.

[2-Strokes 4-ever]

Frisco may of been RC's last SX win. I think Reed will at some point take it to Stewart, and not by Stewart crashing out.

I do admit, Stewart is way fast indoors.........however, we always seem to write RC off rather quickly. Why? Doesn't he always come on strong and amaze again? Even though he's most likely not training like normal, and is away from MX/SX competition, I'm not betting against him.
And..... I can't say that I think Reed is at all in Stewart's league. Reed crashes too.

 

[Solid State]

Ferry is highly motivated this year and his riding proves it.

Agreed. This is sort of a come back year for Ferry. We'll see.

Reed tied Stewart in points last year in the AMA championship. He is in his league.

thats the magic word, last year. JBS is a good deal faster than CR this year. the only race he actually competed was last week (whatever it was). congrats to Ferry, i really like him and i definelty think he's going to get at least 3rd in the standings this year.

 

[HiG4s]

Just on a note about Chad Reed at this race. It seemed to me that it was more him having a bad race than stewart being insanely fast (which also happened), because reeds times were near Ferry and Windham's times, which does't regularly happen.

I thought Reed was much smoother in his heat race than in the final..

 

[rickyd]

No doubt that Ferry is a good rider, i just dont feel that he's on the same or should be on the same level as Winhdam.

His results speak differently.

 

[dirt bike dave]

Ferry has finished ahead of Windham, Byrne and Tedesco at every single AMA SX so far this season. (six rounds).

He's either riding great, or all those guys need to ditch their rides and pick up new Kawasakis!

 

[rickyd]

I like K-Dub, but I think he is happy to be where he is at and has lost the "Hunger" Kawi should of never got rid of Bryner, wasnt it something like 5th over all he finished just a few years ago in the Outdoors, on a 250?

Ferry has been riding hard and good, better than I imagined.

i agree, i wouldnt have gotten rid of Byrne, but id gladly trade Byrne for Ferry :nod: . also congrats to RV for showing up and racing, i think that there's not too much point in watching the 125 class anymore, its total domination. love to see Kawasaki's on the podium, also good to see that all the great racers are on Kawi's, RV, Ferry, and JBS. Kawasaki has made a great bike along with having great riders :cool: .

Jeez, you forget Toronto and San Francisco pretty quickly, and there were others too.

[sp1tekiller]

the race i referred to was San Fran, and i didnt see the Canadian races.

Well Reed was right on Stewart through the whole Anaheim 3 race too. That was the one I thought you were referring too.

thats the one, A3! i looked back to previous threads, and saw A3 results right with San Fran results, so it was A3 that i was referring to :whoa: . but still, if the next race ends like the last one did, the season is over.

 

[Micahdawg]

I think it's amazing that the top 13 Lites riders lap times were less than a second off the pace from the "big boys." Proof that the 250F probably needs to be a 200F :)

My impressions, KW is KW's own worst enemy. Sometime halfway through the race he just fell off his pace. Also came up really short on a jump which probably didn't help. But if he finished as strong as he started, he would have been on that podium.

And Reed is just losing faith in himself. I don't understand why a guy who quits MX to focus EXCLUSIVELY on SX would rather make excuses for his poor performances than just HANG IT OUT and see what happens. He needs to hit up the GOAT on his celly and ask for some tips. Cause the excuses thing, even if valid, just ain't workin.

 

[Philip]

Reed looked smoother in practice than he did in the main. It just looked like he did not get going until the race was half over. Bubba took his time as well but once he started charging he just looked better every lap to the finish. Reed and Kevin kept within one section of Bubba but never put the hammer down to try and catch him. IMO RC would have at least tryed once or twice to close the gap b4 settling in, they just looked comfortable were they were. Ferry was the only one charging towards the end of the race.

The lites heat race with RV and Lawerence was the best race I have seen in a long time.

 

[Mxrider26x]

There seems to be a double standard with Reed and Stewart.

What do you mean?

 

[Thump]

What do you mean?

He means that if Chad gets hurt he is a warrior, if James foes it is an excuse or he was riding over his head. Or is Chad makes a pass for the lead it is just racing and if James does it is a dirty riding.

that would be my guess. :whoa:
