RV just kicked ass this week, (or are the JS7 supporters still going to call it easy?

)

he is looking better and better for sure,

Dungey again could not pass any of the other big four,

Stewart came back and passed Reed, who did not look to have the pace he had a few weeks ago,

26 point lead, 3 wins in a row, RV is looking pretty good,

and did reed cut corners and park his bike in front of dungy or rv when battling? i mean block pass! stewarts in a league of his own, he has a crash and everyone says hes riding over his head, the only guy who made that win a hard one for rv was the hard charging js7!!! haha,

havent seen it yet, quickly read the race report - seems js7 is still struggling with his starts. I still think noone has anything on him as a rider, but this was the sort of race it would have been good to see him throw down - mind you he was doing that at daytona and then he messed that one up - i think his camp might have said 'chill and just make bloody sure you're on the podium'

he is 26 points down, he needs wins now, podiums will not cut it, and even with out the pressure of having to win he has been crashing and making mistakes, sure he does some stuff that no ones else does but he has been pushed this year and the cracks have shown

yeah thats what frustrates me, i think he has shown glimpses of greatness but he hasnt been able to put it together - its quite interesting when you think of him in comparison to carmichael or mcgrath as he has been compared to them, but at this point in time he (nor anyone else) have even come close to demonstrating the sheer dominance that they did

Yep, if he's not careful he'll end up being "the fastest footnote on the planet" 15 years on he will barely get a mention. It's all about the results.

Stewart has already won 2 titles, Bradshaw will be the fastest never to win a title, he won 8 races in a series and still lost the title to Stanton

Yeah I realise he's won titles, but 2 titles won't get him the recongnition in the future like RC etc... just how fast he was will only be remembered by a few.

yeah a bit easy, but i think these guys are riding on the edge of control that it is making it worse,

Mate are you kidding,Bubba will be a legend(already is really),he's not just a SX rider,his epic battles with RC in the outdoors are already legendary,his first Pro Race on a 125 and smoking the long time pros(don't quote me but i think he was only 16),the Bubba Scrub,and the fact he's pretty much the only black pro racer there is(except for his brother)........i don't think he will fade into the background in a hurry...........

na he might not fade away in a hurry but this is the sort of season he needed to come out and prove he could dominate like rc and mcgrath did and he hasnt, even if he can pull off a championship at the end of it, it wont be a dominating one

**krad_nz** · 14th March 2011, 21:26

Non dominating wins make it more entertaining.

Yeah JS's starts have really sucked lately. Makes for a good race though. RV had a pretty good win. Reed and Dungey was pretty good down to the wire.

Don't forget the perfect season too. That is legendary.

Also well done to his brother Malcolm with his fourth place finish in the lites. That guys just as loose as his brother.

That is what I like about about the man, he goes to the line with Im going to Win attitude, and thats what make's watching him so exciting, his riding style can be so by the seat of your pants to watch,
He does go for a podium, he goes for the Win which can be his undoing at times.

A championship win is a win, be it by 100 points or 1, people remember your wins.
