Grabeha sa crash ni JS oi.. karon lang ko kita..

by d way, last year pa ni hawa si Reed sa Suzuki? Honda na lagi iyang motor karon?

Reed went to Kawasaki after riding the 2009 season with Suzuki. Reed looked great on a Suzuki, finishing as runner up to JS7 in 2009 season with just 4 points behind JS. 2009 Supercross is indeed one of the best Supercross Season with Reed & Stewart battling all the way til Las Vegas (Season Finale). But his greatest achievement with Suzuki is winning the 2009 Nationals. Then parted ways due to budget constraints.

Went to Kawaski in 2010 and suffered his oddest season in his PRO Career. DNFed at Anaheim 1, DNFed in Phoenix with a crash with JS and eventually ended his season.. Reed's riding style doesn't fit to Kawis, and so prematurely ended his contract. Naa pa unta cya 1 year mo stay sa Monster Energy Kawasaki, but opted to withdraw from the contract.

Reed has nowhere to ride for 2011 because of budget issues of other factory teams, and he's still one of the most expensive riders out there. Instead, he formed his own TwoTwo Motorsports, and hooked up with Mitch Payton (PRO CIRCUIT), to tune his honda CRF450 (engine & suspension). His a privateer now! One of the greatest and most successful Privateer maybe in history of AMA Racing (He won 1 Main, 4 podiums this season, and sits 3rd in the championship). And there are rumors that TwoTwo Motorsports will be hiring Chritophe Pourcel this summer for the outdoor season!!!!

Suzuki still has the Red #1 Plate because Dungey is the defending SX Champ(He will also be wearing the #1 Plate this summer for MX Nationals as he also won the title in his Rookie Season). Many thought that Dungey got the Red Plate because the fastest cats were injured (Stewart, Reed & Villopoto). However, Dungey is considered the best Rookie ever to set foot on AMA Circuit as he won both SX & MX disciplines in his rookie season.

Dungey would be the one to beat comes Outdoor/MX Nationals based on his performance last year. Nobody was able hooked up with The Dunge last MX Nationals.

Following the sport for over 10 years since the MCGrath era, from what I see from Reed is his riding style really fits to Suzuki. I've never seen him as comfortable as any other bikes. With his Honda right now, it seems that he like the bike, and seems found his groove to run upfront. Remember that Reed's podium percentage is about 80+%, with 39 Main event wins...

Sa pagka kita nako atong daytona race, murag wala gyuy angay si reed sa honda..

Yeah. He looks better and ride better in a suzuki. Actually before nihawa si Reed sa L&M Racing San Manuel Yamaha in 2008, he bought a production bike honda, tested it and found himself liking the bike. He thought he would be racing it in 2009, but Suzuki grabbed him under the leadership of Roger DeCoster.

Well his ride with Suzuki is remarkable. Earning 16 podiums of 17 & 3 Main event wins in 09 season. And basically dominated the outdoor season grabbing the 09 Nationals Championship.

I like his TwoTwo Honda bike looks and his gears. He parted ways with THOR & SCOTT Goggles... He is now sporting a custom made TwoTwo Shift Racing Gear/Fox Helmet/Fox Goggles. Basically Fox and Shift are just one company carrying two different brands.

Yeah. CR22 is committed to race the Nationals. In fact it is rumored that he is getting Christophe Pourcel to ride with him on board TwoTwo Motorsports Honda. Pero it is not definite yet because many believes that Pourcel did not have a ride this 2011 SX because he is asking too much.... And maybe he is asking the same amount to ride this outdoors. But who knows... Pourcel showed up at daytona last week, as a spectator...

On the other hand, with JS owning major shares of San Manuel, he probably would race outdoors. If in fact, he would race, then there is no doubt he will be smoking the rest of the field. He has exceptional outdoor skills. I don't think dungey can hang on with him.....

wow kaya na ni reed diay kuha ug usa ka rider? hahaha.. this guy is good in mx

Yeah, pourcel is good in outdoors... He lost last year to Trey Canard after crashing at Pala and broke his shoulder.

Well, I think BelRay will be backing up TwoTwo this outdoor. And if BelRay would step up to hire pourcel, then he might be riding a TwoTwo Honda.

Naa sad uban rumors, that Pourcel will be riding the American Honda Racing Factory, as fill in for the injured Josh Grant...
