SX Daytona mud-bog

that was absolutely the sickest race i've ever witnessed! i really felt for reed what a raw deal. his was simply blowing everyone else away by riding much harder.... just to have his motor .... itself two turns from the finish. he deserved the win.

The same thing happened to Windham 2 laps earlier that gave Reed the big lead.Windham had just passed Reed with a couple of laps to go when he got stuck.

Villopoto doesn't stand a chance. Apparently he's racing agains't Jesus Christ.
( I see you picked up on that too Jumkie )
I don't think he's in as bad of shape as they are making it out to be.
He speed is unmatched and Daytona was about survival not speed.
His has made small mistakes which have cost him greatly. Christnard has been flawless but he has been out front racing noone all year. Soon he should be chasing Villo and we'll see if remains mistake free.
Villopoto reminds me a lot of James Stewart. He's clearly way faster than everyone but he is prone to mistakes. He's so fast he can recover quickly. I actually like it when he gets behind. It's fun to watch him run thru the pack. His home MX race in Washuga last year he crashed twice and each time made his way back to the front. It was one of the best rides I have ever seen.
Also I wonder if he felt racing in the East's without Townley to compete with him he might have thought it was going to be easier.

Supercross was fun to watch. You knew the lead would change a lot because there is no way you could keep the bike up for 12 laps.
How about that Kawi stuck standing straight up in the mud.
It's a shame they couldn't ride RC's track like it should be ridden but it was fun to watch anyway.

I do not know what to say. That was some fun stuff there. Sucks for Chad.

Villopoto is a great rider, but he reminds me of alot of Japanese GP riders. They push way too hard for their abilites and often times, get themselves into trouble.
