Wow, Villipoto was untouchable, was in a zone. Reed steady as ever, waiting in the wings in case someone ..... up. Speaking of .... ups, Bubba, its becoming apparent you are lacking something. I guess you can be crazy fast, right up till you crash. Its getting to be an even odds bet weather or not you go full ...... on raceday.
 
Pov....clearly Villopoto has confidence, put down the fastest laps of the event in the first heat race, he was in control. Poto looks solid, lets see if he can keep it up.

I'm not a huge Stewart fan, but I saw something last night that could prove interesting as the season progresses....patience. Yea I know it didn't look like he had any patience when he crashed, but I still feel he wasn't riding over his head, just my opinion, but I'm curious how he bounces back in Phoenix next weekend. Let's not forget that Stewart has Joe Gibbs giving him pointers on mental preparation, and I think we saw some of that last night.

Reed...as you said steady as ever, but I'm curious if he came in to the first race in fighting shape. He looked a little tight on the bike as well as pudgy...or it could have been an under jersey protector?

Dungey came in right where I expected, rode smart. He looks to put his nose in there this year, if so, it could make for interesting battles throughout th season.

I'm ready for Phoenix!
 
Damn, no live races so I have to wait for a replay on Aus Speed channel, often a week late, but better than nothing. Go Reedy, good start. As for Villopoto, I could watch him cutting laps all day long, magic rider. Dungey on the KTM is interesting, remember in the outdoors last year he suffered a mechanical dnf and an almost dns with Suzuki and that was it, he's outathere to KTM. They should be a contender. Stewart is weird, anything between the ears or just empty space?

Its on ESPN, as you said, a week late

Just was watching the replay - Poto is the benchmark no doubt, going to be a tuff season's racing.
 
Dungey gives KTM their first win in supercross. I hope he can keep this up all season to challenge Villopoto.

Nice win for Dungey but the ride of the night was Villopoto. All the way from last place to podium. I was surprised that Dungey wasnt too far ahead. He had a clear track the whole race but was still kept in sight. Villopotos focus is amazing. Barring injury I dont think he can be beat this yr.
 
Congrats to Dungey! I like that kid.



And Mr. DeCoster, simply known as The Man.



Also, congrats to KTM.



Stewart continues to kill his career. Villo had a great recovery. Its his championship to lose. Speaking of losers, Reed still sux.



I love monster girls.
 
Chad Reed wins against Dungey and Stewart. Jumkie you ever get tired of being wrong?
 
Reed rode a good race, looked like the old Reed in the gate right before the start....seems a switch to last years front tire made a huge difference for him.

This season is shaping up to be a corker....Villopoto, Dungey, and now Reed all taking wins, who's next Stewart....Weimer?

Feeling bad for Canard though....Honda is reporting that he's got a broken back but he is moving his hands and feet, lets hope his condition continues to improve.
 
Congrats to Reed.



Clearly Villopoto was fastest man. Its his title to lose. Stewart continues his downward spiral. Feel bad for Canard. Dungey, solid.



Oh, these threads use to be an oasis on PS. Now we got ........ spoilers like Birdman who couldnt contain himself and had to ....... on other threads.
 
That was a terrible hit. When I saw it I knew it was immediately bad. The hit was abrupt. Canard's had some bad luck.
 
And Stewart is now 3 for 3 on the season. 3 Races = 3 crashes.

That is ugly and can imagine the pain ! hope he comes out of it better than I think at present.

Just putting this out there amonst you re Stewart, as we know before was a "fast motha ......" but the spills started to happen and we know what else starting going on "off the track" some similarity to A Gobert ? such talent wasted.

Not sure I would put Stewart up there with Gobert just yet....if anyone in the current MX field could be compared to Gobert it would have to be my fellow North Carolinian Austin Stroupe...what a waste of talent!

Lets not forget that Stewart is getting older, and a career in MX/SX isn't exactly kind to your body. Everyone has stepped up their game as well so he's having to push that much harder. I hate to say it but Bubba is in the downward slope of his career.
