    Its proberly because there isnt much for him to fight for, JS is an all or nothing type of rider and hes out of the running the championship for the year. Ive often heard people saying that his time has come and gone but I believe hes still capable of another championship win......if he just gets his shit together and stays on his bike.
    Agreed. I still think speed wise, James is on another level but just no way near as consistent.

    disagree, RV is the fastest on the track now most weekends, he is the only one that can win from a 5th or 6th place start, he has run James down on a number of occasions this year, and in the last few years,

    but the whole field is closer to him than they were to James 4-5 years ago,

    James is still fast for sure, and on his day the fastest, but not the fastest man on the planet anymore, i think that title belongs to the angry ginger on the green bike,

    Have to agree with Scott RV is quickest over the race , JS quickest for one lap on most occasions esp in qualifying.

    after another RV runaway at Daytona he now has the points lead, he will be pretty hard to catch but none of these guys are ever that far from disaster,

    cool to see Musquin get his first win as well,

    I hope Milsapps gets a 2nd wind this season, hes not my favourite rider but hes the rider that I would most like to see walk away with the championship this year. Hes definately put in more hard yards during the off season than any other rider and has definately brought it this year. Lets hope his confidence is not too broken and he can get that red plate back from RV.

    Roczen is going to cause some trouble for the more experienced guys, I dont think any rider that has moved up from the 250 class this year has shown that kind of confidence, not even bam bam.

    I thought Eli Tomac rode very well, came up to 4th, Roczen started well but sended up 7th,

    BAm Bam has not really kept it up like he started, and niether has Canard, both are still in teh series tho and that has been not easy in years gone by,

    Also I hope Chad Reed gets a win, i suspect if he does not he might not be back next year, he has never really been happy with top 5's,

    I just wish Canard and Dungy would stop preaching everytime they get on the podium!

    they have a service after riders meeting everytime, and most of the riders attend, it is a very christian sport in the USA,

    Seriously? There is a time and a place for religion (apparently) and motorsport is neither...

    all US motorsports have a prayer at sometime during the Show, Nascar quite often televise their one just before the drivers get into their cars,

    does not really worry me if the rider wants to thank his lord, his girl friend or his dog (which happened a few years ago) on the podium, they earned their place up there to say want they want,

    I would also suggest thanking God increases the sponsorship and marketing likeability by about 2 notches. But as you say they earned the right. Personally I get tired of the robotic speeches, hence the reason I enjoy some of the Dirt Shark vids, they show a different side to all involved.

    Indy again was an awesome race. Dungy gave RV a good push, which was good to see. However he is again showing his true skills and without incident this is RV's to Win.

    Feel sorry for Blake, he rode well in the lead, only to go down on the last lap. But Musquin fought form last to take it, shows the benifit of never giving up. Finally someone needs to tell Canard to ease back on the scrub! Especially when his teamate is only 2 feet beside him!

    looks like VP to win it a good battle for 2nd between Dungey and Millsaps.
    Lites is down to the wire for both East and West series .

    Hahn is looking consistant enough to wrap up the easts which would leave Musquin imagining what might have been if he hadn't had a couple of bad ones earlier on.
    Almost the same story for the wests where Roczen and Tomac mirror Hahn and Musquin respectively though the points diff is 15 rather than 5.

    But anything can happen...
    Smoke 'em if you have 'em

    You run what you brung, and pray you brought enough
