Certainly seems to be, especially with BT confirmed. Although I'm keeping all 12 fingers crossed he doesn't have his usual pre-race injury issues...

Would love to see Ken Roczen at this though, he is going to be the next big thing in MX without doubt.

Reed has just pulled out of the race,
This was on the twotwo Motorsport facebook page. http://www.fluidpr.com.au/emailmarke...421&L=72&N=452

Will be an awesome race thats for sure!!
Anyone know where to stream it live?

I've always disliked Reed, generally for his typical Aussie complete lack of sportsmanship and gratitude, but with the amazing success of twotwo, his current form and the fact he will put his family first like this... it's getting hard for me to continue disliking him...

Justin Barcia is racing too. He's one guy who could upset everyone.

no reed, dungey, stewart or canard it really should be a RV benefit, but 3 10 lap mains might see someone take one moto away from him,
(to win the million $$'s you must win all 3 mains, if that is not done it pays $100k to the top points)

track looks pretty cool, the Vegas dirt is always very hardpack tho so it may get one lined,

It Will be cool to see BT race in the states again,

Its a bit dissapointing many of the big names have pulled out. How could you miss an oppertunity to ride that sick track.

the guys know winning all 3 is going to be pretty hard to do, so the million is not really something to plan for,

Reed needed time off, the travel they do for the 29 races he has done so far would get to you,

Dungey has a new bike to sort out, and will not want to show up not ready and get his butt handed to him,

Stewart does not have a team yet, and MX at this level is not the place you can turn up with a bike on the back of a ute, suspension guys, fuel injection guys plus a mechanic, team manager etc do not just turn up,

[CRF119]

Yea i understand all that. Stewart has been away for so long he will need to start back in the lights class.

[noobi]

Why would Stewart need to start over? He raced the 2011 SX, then got injured, and he doesnt race outdoors. Its not as long as BT has been out of the states.

I to disliked him for the same reason, but i cannot deny the man can ride a bike, my opinion of him, has change alot.

Be bloody hard to win all three races, there's still some pretty talented and fast riders in there.

read somewhere BT may try get a ride for 2012 outdoor, well check things out while he's over there anyway.

Go BT101

I was taking the piss, he tried to ride outdoors did one race and hasn't returned..... He got smoked in that race. Maybe he had no full ride for the outdoors or maybe he just doesn't like getting beaten by that much and went back to train. Still has no ride for next season.

Heard a rumor that JS7 has been testing on a yellow bike recently.

Am A huge Reed fan always have been he has started from nothing and took a gamble going to Europe when he was young and it paid off.
Hes arrogant because he has earnt it,And knew no better.
Now he just begining to show the heart it took to get where he is today
His whole teenage life was under the light how many of us can say we havent made HUGE mistakes whe we were young...........I HAVE

I have spent some time in northen USA and I got critised for being arrogant too.......Maybe its a southern hemisphere thing.And we all know the media has the power to make anyone look like they want them to be.


Where can us kiwis watch these races is the big question?

As soon as anyone knows PLEASE tell us.
