Title: US MOTO X Open
Post by: abramztnk on October 18, 2009, 06:02:49 AM

Watched the coverage that CBS had yesterday.  All in all it wasn't too bad.  All I have to say is that if Villipoto can look that good after only 2 weeks back on the bike, I can't wait until Supercross starts.  Bubba better be on his P's and Q's.  I hate a Yamaha!

Why was Chad a no-show?

Still waiting on his Kawasaki contract. I will add that I am NOT a Chad fan.

Doug, how can you NOT like the best runner-up rider ever?  I mean he is a champ when everyone else is running Supercross Only or injured!

Jason,
It all started when some young kid on a KX125 showed up and dominated everything while Chad was on his YZ250F and was boasting if he could get a start, he could beat this new kid. After hearing enough of this, this young kid pulled over (while leading the race by 5 seconds plus) to let Chad by and gave him more than a 10 bike head start and then proceeded to pass him back (on the same lap) and gapped him with ease. When the race is over he whines that he is at a disadvantage on the 250F (Tell that to all of the 125 riders now). Then there is the MX Des Nations @ Budds Creek (one of the best races I have ever seen) where Chad would not even ride his 2nd Moto, and the guys camping next to us flew all the way from Australia to fly their colors (they had the tar & feathers waiting for him). Then more recent, what about Vegas with the half hearted take out move? I could go on & on, but HE knows who is a REAL CHAMPION. I am just sorry to see he will be on Green.

Go Villopotto!!!!

lol, just busting your chops.  I too get tired of the whining.  Have you ever heard Larocco whine about not winning?  Nope, just continued to podium and gained alot of respect from me for his consistancy.

Still like the way Dowd showed up, no support, raced in the mud and took third place.  Gotta love it.

I watched Reed in the 09 MXDN. Australia had their best team ever and I expected Reed, fresh from his outdoors series to dust everyone off and lead them to a great finish. Somehow it didn't happen. Maybe there was not enough $$ involved. Cam.
