Atlanta SX results

wow, shit just got interesting,

Chad nailed Bubba, took them both down, then Bubba tried to block Reed in the last corner, and lost 2 places to reed and Dungey,

Reed put it well on a pulp MX podcast, i have lost 2 championships by less than 4 points

RV got a lucky one, Stewart has now been caught and passed by a couple of riders, the fastest man on the planet is now a 3 way argument,

also interesting that long time L&M (stewarts team) manager Larry Brooks got let go,

[NZsarge]

Interesting, look forward to watching that, cheers.

Yeah man watched it live yesterday and man what a race, best race in forever!

But JS7 left the door open man, thats why big James was so pissed! JS7 should have defended the inside line.

The whole Brooks thingy is a little strange but not to surprising at the same time, he does have a history of being a bit of a dick to put it lightly.

Im more interested in the direction that the team will go from now on, will JS7 try and switch the team to Kawi? try to get factory support maybe, lets be honest JS7 looks way better on a Kawi, either that or maybe KTM, now that would be SICK!!

i would be suprised to see BUbba back on a kawi, mostly to do with the kawi/monster tie up, and BUbba/red bull,

but Bubba KTM might happen, i think it will come down to a chequebook tho, and i still do not think the 350 would be the right option, Short has said he is lacking power in situations and can not square people up etc,

there are only a few poeple that can ride a 450 to its limits, and James is racing a few of those poeple every week

Yeah i completely forgot about the Red Bull/Monster conflict, i cant see JS7 staying with Yamaha, so i do hope he approaches some other factorys, and with Reb Bull being one of his big sponsors, we could see him on a KTM for sure.

How about the 250's that race was really good as well, but man Bagget needs to man up and make a move!

whats wrong with james yami? he can consistently throw down the quickest qualifying/heats and usually puts down the fastest lap of the main. he seems to be lacking the passion to me - kinda how reed looked last year (when he was sick) - seeing how reed rode last week and this week is how james needs to ride to win. was a bit dissapointing to see them come together - james didnt cover his line and did leave the door open but reed didnt need to take them both out, instead of squaring it up and forcing him wide he just took them both out

i see it a bit different, Reed Parked his bike on Bubba line, (what a block pass is) and then Bubba accellerated into him, i am not saying its Bubba fault, but he could have checked up, and avoided Reed as well,

[FlangMasterJ]

If you watch the replay there was no way James could have pulled up in time. He hadn't even lifted his head. James' pass on the other hand was pretty civilized. Reed said he slammed into him which was BS.

Anyway, easily one of the greatest races I've seen.

Those CRF's seem to be the bees in the handling department.

Anyone else getting mega pissed off about the coverage on Sky? Last weeks was not on and they put the lites on at 3am!! I had a moan to them.

You still on dial-up cheese?

Na, I got mysky to record it so I can watch it later. Not really keen on wasting bandwidth to watch it early.

they did play the sx some time in the middle of the day but its still a week behind which is ok just got to remember not to look on here to much for the results.
One thing that gets me pissed off is you dont seam to be able to link it and therefore got try and remember to set each week.

[krad_nz]

Wow, wicked race. Adrenaline pumping by the end of the thing.

It should really have gone 1 Stewart, 2 Reed, 3 Vilapoto. That last lap was really frustrating.

Hard to know what to think about that Reed/Stewart incident.

I guess the question you have to task yourself is: If the roles were reversed, would Stewart have done the same thing to Reed? I'd say yes. Block pass is a legal pass.

Go Reed.

[Katoomer]

Pity speed didn't follow the Stewart/Reed battle all last lap .Apparently Stewie was so focused on holding Reed up that he let Dungey catch them then got passed as well.
His old man was probably tuning him up for that afterwards.
Those 4 points might bite him later on seeing how close this series is.
