Could you not put up results on here the damn second the race is finished please?
Some of us have to wait a few days to get the footage from the USA. Race was very good, Brayton showed RV there is room for improvment, Ryan was struggling for me towards the end there. Reed needs to give up, pathetic showing being 30 seconds back, Roczen got taken out by Barcia and Dungey needs to show a it of that, far too nice |

Blah, blah, blah Chunder - if you had to wait a few days to watch the race why would you go into a Supercross thread, especially when you know exactly what is going to be in the thread... Take responsibility for your own silliness man!
Can't believe you bagged Chad Reed, that's nasty , think he podiumed last week |

A Few opinions after the first 2 rounds:
* Really like the new qualifying heat set up. Shortened heats creates a sense of urgency for the racers and keeps fans engaged. Extra semi thrown in is really cool too. * Roczen - will be really good if he can stay healthy. I view him as a podium contender every weekend. * Chad Reed - Classic example of aging athlete that loves the racing so much he does not know when to quit. He is finishing close enough to the top to keep him interested. I say if you can finish top 5 in supercross, you stay in. * Stewart - Just a total enigma. Still capable of the crazy crashes. Still capable of winning. * Villopoto - Class of the field and never count him out no matter how far back he may be. * Dungey - Predict 2 wins this year. Podium 70% of the time. Looking forward to this season. |

Just get a bit bored of threads on here that are just posting results
Surely a results section is best place for that? We need one, though to be honest the bike section would die as that is all that gets put in here nowadays! |

It was a beaut fella
And where on earth did Chadster get that from OK RV tok himself out by being a bit over eager, but that is his way, Dungey also threw away a good lead. Looks like Roczen ran out of puff! And Stewart was just avergae for me |

It seemed Stewart ran out of puff once Reed passed him, lap times would suggest Reed stayed the same all the way through & the others dropped off? Dungey rode aggressively - he must've been hearing what everyone was saying about his overtaking, maybe he should go back to his normal racing style? Villopoto, always has a crack, its great watching him race in the pack... Barcia & Honda - whats going on?
Points after 3 of 17... Ken Roczen - 60 Ryan Villopoto - 59 Ryan Dungey - 57 Chad Reed - 57 Justin Brayton - 55 James Stewart - 44 Justin Barcia - 42 |

I thnk Honda might have lost their way and also perhaps diverted a lot of engineers to the Dakar program, so maybe the bike isnt much Kop
The 250 is going fine, as is the 250 KTM. But they lost Canard, and Barcia is still young |

Pity Tomac went down on the GEICO Honda, don't know why they didn't replace Canard, he went down months ago - Barcia could probably learn from having an experienced team mate!

Regulation win for Villopoto at Oakland - solid rides by Stewart, Reed & Dungey. Anaheim 3 this weekend...
Unlucky rider of the round would have to be Dean Wilson on the 250 Kwaka - had that race won til the bike cut out on the last lap, gifting Jason Anderson his 3rd win of the season... |

Was a great ride again for Chad, and Roczen. The old fella was right there all night and never loekd like throwing it away.
Not sure whatw as wrong with RV, fell right away at end. As for Stewart and Dungey, I think Stewart needs to take a year out or summat, the bloke falls off far too much, and you can now see what pressure is doing for Dungey, Roczen is kicking his arse, and I am etting he will bo on Yamaha or honda in 15. |

And how long will Villopoto put up with a fellow Kawasaki rider winning - is he likely to spit the dummy & jump ship? Think he is probably due a new manufacture challenge if he wins his 4th title...

I dont think RV will do anything like that
He is known to dislike Anaheim, and quite why they have three damn rounds there is insane, crowd looekd really low there this weekend and no shock wehn you see ticket prices. I dont doubt RV is still the man, Reed just likes the place, remember he was 9th in Oakland! |

Was thinking that, have never seen Villopoto spit the dummy - he don't come across as precious...

Reed has now won 8 time I think!
I just think RV is waiting for the war, not the starters. He will still be the main man. Still has that raw speed and explosiveness that noone else has. If Reed cna keep this up fair enough he can challenge, but I cant see Dungey, Stewart or roczen being there every week for podiums. Their bad week is falling or a top 6, Ryans is third |
