PrintRacer X Race Report: Oakland
Return of the Veterans
By Aaron Hansel
There can only be one greatest season in history, and if the rest of the year mirrors the action we saw Saturday night in Oakland, 2012 is sure to replace 2011 as the best Monster Energy AMA Supercross Season of all time.
In the Lites main, Martin Davalos took the holeshot and jumped out to an early lead, followed by Dean Wilson, Eli Tomac, Cole Seely and Zach Osborne. Then, disaster struck for Dean Wilson when he got cross-rutted in a rhythm section and went down right before a triple. Wilson went off the side of the track in the crash, and by the time he we was able to get going, he was in a distant twentieth place. Moments later, Cole Seely had issues of his own and went down.
In front of the carnage, Tomac was putting in some strong laps and it wasn’t long before he had caught and passed Davalos. It helped that Davalos bobbled, but Tomac was ripping, and most likely would have passed Davalos anyway. Once Tomac got into the lead, he dropped the hammer and sprinted away from the pack, taking the eventual win by over twelve seconds. Meanwhile, Davalos continued his backward slide, losing spots to Osborne, Jason Anderson and Marvin Musquin. It was at this point that a ferocious battle for second place between Osborne and Anderson began to unfold. The two swapped positions several times, which allowed Musquin to sneak up and get in the mix. Then, after coming together with Musquin in a corner, Anderson went down, handing the battle for second over to Osborne and Musquin.
As the race started to wind down, Osborne tightened up and was unable to hang with Musquin. One week after crashing out in Dodger Stadium, Musquin crossed the line in second place, matching the best AMA supercross finish of his career. Osborne took third, followed by Ryan Sipes and Matt Moss. Tyla Rattray crashed hard in his heat race, and did not return to the track. Early reports indicate that Rattray has suffered a small fracture in his C-7 vertebrae. We’ll post more updates on this situation as they become available.

In the supercross class, the fans got what they paid to see when Reed took the holeshot with James Stewart and Ryan Villopoto only several positions behind him. Within a few laps, both Stewart and Villopoto had worked their way past Andrew Short and Josh Hansen and were hounding Reed. For five or six laps, they circulated the track within a few feet of one another. Every time it looked like Stewart was close enough to make a move on Reed, he would have to guard against Villopoto, who was putting a wheel on Stewart every chance he got. They refused to give one another an inch, and the crowd was eating it up.
Then, after what seemed like an eternity, Stewart made put a move on the inside of Reed as the two entered a straightaway, pulled a gap, and just like that, the battle was over. Villopoto kept the pressure on Reed, but was simply unable to make anything stick. Finally, right when it looked like Villopoto was going to take another run on Reed, he was forced to double a triple when Reed took the preceding corner a little wide. The result was a bit of breathing room for Reed, which he was able to turn into a sizable gap that would last the remainder of the race.
After getting somewhat of a decent start, Ryan Dungey wasn’t able to move through riders as quickly as Villopoto and Stewart, and by the time he had worked his way into fourth, the leaders were long gone. Stewart took the checkers, becoming the fourth man to win a supercross main in as many races in 2012. On the podium after the race, Reed was clearly upset about giving up the win to Stewart. In his interview he said he “rode like a girl,” and instead of shaking and spraying his bottle of champagne, he casually opened the bottle and poured it onto the dirt.
Next week at A2, both Chad Reed and Ryan Dungey will wear red number plates, as they now share the points lead. Strap in race fans, if the rest of the series is as exciting and tense as the action was tonight, it’s sure to go down as one of the best seasons we’ve ever seen.

I'm surprised, usually there's a string of insults regarding James Stewart here, not much chitty chat this week eh? You guys are lame, all of these racers put in 100% and it shows, four different winners in four races...2012 Supercross season is going to be awesome.
looks as if reed is already starting to resort back to his old "crybaby" ways. everytime i think that i might actually like this guy, he pulls out one of his podium meltdowns. "i rode like a girl" and pouring the champaign on the ground are all typical reed antics. you got beat by the fastest man on the planet, no need to cry about it!!!!! i booed reed loud enough at red bud last year that he made a comment about it after the race and ill be at indy, st louis and red bud to do it again. its funny how all you js7 haters run your mouths when he loses but when he wins, you have nothing to say.....just saying.
I am wondering what Musquin could do this year if he hadn't been forced to skip the whole 2011 SX season and practically almost all the 2011 MX season. This guy is very fast, a step below Tomac and Wilson at the moment but I know he will win a race soon.
i agree manes. musquin is so smooth and awesome to watch.
JS7 put on in for TEX !!! Good Job.
You don't have to put someone on the ground to win a SX
as long as its reed being taken out, i wont complain....lol
yes, that's weird that there no posts this week, just because Stewart won
musquin has awesome sx technique..such as pourcel..french riders have supercross in their blood...
relax zimwe, they're coming. Actually villopoto's mechanic used different spoke nipples last night and he was a little thrown off. That better be true or villopoto doesn't seem to be so "untouchable" after all, does he? Let's not get carried away with stewarts dominating win until we find out if everyone else was feeling okay, you know if one of the other three had a runny nose or excessive wax buildup in an ear then that certainly affected the outcome.
@motoracerorange
You sound like the little girl taking weak little pathetic sniper shots whenever you think you can. You simply wouldn't understand what it takes for these guys to be where they are. Reed is already a legend in the sport - And here's you, who obviously has an unhealthy need to be noticed with your comments and your boos as you PAY for your (cheap) seats - class act dude. You must be so proud of yourself. Please do us all a favour and pack up and take your HATE somewhere else - go follow another sport from the comfort of your trailer.
Big Props to Stewart on the win. Great to see. Surprised the 'older' guys had RV covered in this one after his dominating rides of late. Great racing by all the top guys. Keep it coming fellas.
I gotta say the same thing about reed. I really hated him for a while, for just being a crybaby. He was getting better with his attitude and I started finding myself pulling for him a little bit, but I still had a feeling he was putting on an act. I now think that is confirmed. I understand him being bummed. These guys want to win. They are at the highest level you can be, and don't like coming in second. But come on man...you say you rode like a girl and then you follow it right up and act like one on the podium? The champaign deal is a tradition and fun for the fans, plain and simple...we pay your salary dude, like it or not. Your check might come from bel ray, but don't forget without us, there is no mx/sx
Has any one seen lap times? I'm just wondering if Tomac was able to dip down into the 30's.
No I also dont understand Reed getting so upset? Stewart is still quite a ways back and Reed beat everyone that he had to of course he deos not like getting beat by James. Track must have been pretty tough also. Hopefully this year ends up with even better racing than last year.
Looks like Tomac is in a leauge of his own out there, we will see what Wilson and Marvin can do in the next few races?
Gotto go chek the lap times and lap charts now! You can pretty much see what happened lap to lap if you put it all together with that info.
at least someone agrees. reed may be a legend but the fact of the matter is that he always has an excuse when he loses. just accept that its not all about you all the time, dude. the fans pay good money to come see them ride. the last thing i want to see for my $90 is some millionaire celebrity pouting like a baby when he fails to win. suck it up and turn that anger into speed on the track. i am not sorry that my earlier comments may have ruffled a few feathers. opinions are like a%#holes, everybody has one!! you didnt hear me complaining or insulting anyone when half the crowd booed stewart at phoenix.
well congrats to James. not a fan but it is great for our sport. also a little suprized RV was held off.
sounds like everyones got a short memory on here stewarts already used up half of his excuses so it a good thing he won last night.And at least Reed kept his complaints to his riding as far as the champagne thing whatever they're all babies at time or another...right?Personally i would like to see the ryans and some others take over
If there is one thing once loyal js7 fans can count on...is js7 inability to show the discipline to continue a streak or out himself back into a championship mode in the long run.We'll see James but,in the end you will always be the continuing distraction no professional sport needs. Your off-track stunts and such have been nothing short of obscene and certainly indicative of one confused and narcissistic puppy. Sorry for the unfortunate passing of your mechanic though. Obviously a true hero who cares about other citizens of his state.(Kinda' the way you used to be)
First off I will admit I am not a fan of Stewart as a person, but as a rider he is AMAZING. I have seen Stewy do some baby antics in the past also, In fact his dad had to direct him to the transport last year after he misbehaved himself on the track.
As for Reed, I can understand completely he was ticked, not at someone else but at himself and he showed how he felt. His attitude is that of a rider that trains to WIN and he thought he "rode like a girl". Then they hand him Champagne and expect him to act all happy.... he didn't feel he deserved a Champagne Celebration and showed it.
These guys are all badass bar none and bar to bar I love this stuff.
Keep up the great work each and everyone.

No.... Chad didnt get beat by Villopoto last night....

Don't worry Zimwe the haters will think of something to continue on with their insults/hate.. Just wait..
Will they be showing the whole race on CBS?
@Ripdown That term cant be used because RV was the fastest all night and set the fastest time in the main on lap 9 with a 54.039 but ended up third, but you WONT hear any excuses from that camp for that finish.
Well, that sounds like it will be a fun one to watch for sure!! We all knew James was going to get that first win eventually, good to see it finally happen!! Held RV off the entire race and passed Reed in the process, not an easy thing to do being sandwiched in between those two guys..ice ride James!! In all honesty, that was the ride i have been expecting from him, i'm a Dungey fan also so his fourth is a bummer in one way, but for James it couldn't have been better that RD had his worst race of the year so far....one race and he jumps from 19 down to 12 down. To the guy who says James can't put together a string of wins, i have to disagree....he most definitely has shown in the past that he an do just that. Only time will tell if he will and i sure as hell am not gonna make any predictions. Regardless of who you like or don't like, having James begin to pull himself back in to the hunt does only make for a little more excitement for us as fans!! The interviews at supercrossonline.com are pretty good for this one.....Reed and Villo are not happy, and James is actually extremely humble!! Reed calls it now and says this thing is definitely going down to Vegas....works for me!!
lap times dont mean anything if you cant catch the leader.....moron!!!!!
The fastest man on the track last night was James Stewart. I don't think anyone can argue against that fact. Sure, Reed got mad. He always does. His problem is that instead of manning up (as James has done) and not showing his anger publicly, he whines and pours out the champagne. Did JBS do that last week? Surely he was frustrated. If he had - he would have been overrun with insults here. So why are the rules different for Reed? CR22 simply needs to grow up and realize that he isn't - and never was - the fastest guy on the track. You'd think that after all the beat-downs he's received over the years from RC and James, he'd know which end is up.
Welcome back bubba,nice ride..bigup chad reed and dungey.this is good for the sport.looks like james had villo on speed!and some of you who love to hate on James..well what do you have to say about this?and to be claer James is still fast but with more patience.
James mans up??? Are you kidding? He is the king of excuses! I'll give him respect for winning, but for manning up? NO!
It is a provable fact that when James Stewart gets beat, yes gets beat, this forum lights up with heavy traffic from people who want to drive that point home....but when James Stewart beats everybody else, it is much less active on here!! That cracks me up!!! As much as people always bust on JS for not just saying "i got beat", i have to say that Mr. Villopoto is every bit as guilty of that......all he could say this week was that the "track was tough", and the "dirt was weird and mushroomed out and the ruts were bad" ....never once just saying..."I got beat"....but i'm sure it will be deemed OK for RV to do it. Don't talk out both sides of your mouth people!! Criticism for one guy is equally as good for antother who does the same thing!! Oh, and on the "Reed Champagne Pout".....JS would get rolled if he had stood trhere and poured out his champagne like a little baby instead of doing the traditional thing with it! I'll bet he shook his up last week when he finished third....the fans like that stuff and Reed obviously didn't give a crap about that last night. In his defense, when you get passed STRAIGHT UP by your nemesisi guess it will put you in a bad mood!! STRAIGHT UP for all of you who couldn't quit saying that last week.....i think his name was db-200 or somethin'!! Things are tightening up folks....c'mon RV fantards, lets hear why he has been 3rd and fourth so much lately...there has to be an excuse,right?
I've been a Reed fan for a long time, but 'I rode like a girl' sounds more like what a 16-year-old would say, not a late-twenties, multi-time champion. Show a little class, plus some respect for women, Reedy.
And btw, to a few of you, Champaign is a town in Illinois; champagne is what they have on the podium.
If some of you did actually respect him, you'd say congratulations and let it go at that. But you seem to need to thrown down insults. It really doesn't matter because JBS is going to do his thing - regardless of what his detractors say. He's always done that. RV2 is still the "other" fastest guy to beat, week in and week out. And it's a long season. But James has proven (yet again) that he can STILL wick it up to a ridiculous level. Fans of supercross should be mighty happy right now - this is going to get good.

Scoreboard.
I miss the days when motocross at the pro level had fans that were motocrossers also. ANYONE...I mean ANYONE who has ever put any effort into racing at all has at least a little understanding of how much goes into getting a bike into the pits of a supercross race, not to mention up on the podium. If you enjoy badmouthing any of these guys then you really are exposing yourself as a poser.
I am happy that Bubba won, but you have to admit that his fans are like rabbid animals when he wins. He is the greatest, he is back, the championship is his.......etc! I know some of the others riders fans are close, but nothing like the following that JS gets without the results to back it up. You never see RD's fans on hear talking smack, and he has won as many races as bubba this year, and has 2 titles under his belt! I am sure someone will say he only won because of this and that which is BS!
@TheVoice....dude,did you just quote a tune from Van Halen1??? haha, yes you did....."I'm the One"!!!! I LOVE IT!! Man, have you heard the new stuff?? I don't mean "Tattoo", but the other tracks?? This album is gonna rock so hard...Old school VH..(samples on youtube, check 'em out)!! I'm off topic here, sorry guys!! @pizzacorner, he was "buried in points" last week for sure, but much less this week...seven point swing, 19 down to 12...granted that won't happen every week, but it does show how quickly things can change.....lots of racing left so don't count him out yet!! I think it is now safe to say that we will get our first repeat winner next week.......but who will it be??? 4 weeks 4 winners.....AWESOME!!!
I share the same general feelings of the rest. Reed just CANNOT face the fact that he has neither Stewart ot Villipoto speed! He does have good insight though in his own words he rode like a GIRL!! He'll always be satisfied with a 2cnd or 3rd, while the top tier willing to HANG IT OUT and risk it all for a WIN the likes of ... Stewart, Villipoto and Canard... for them 2cnd place is not an option! As in the mind of any true champ. Those three have the ability to burn by Reed at will, Reed will NEVER have the same abilities or mentality as TOP tier WIN or nothing racers! Dungey subscribes to same safe attitude as Reed, but also like Stewy, Villi and Canard, he does posses the speed and confidence to pass the crybaby at will! Much admiration for Dungey...NEVER an excuse or sissy attitude and ALWAYS a class act! Sorry Reed, although you did ride like a girl, you aslo lack the balls to HANG IT OUT! ( Stick with your second, third and fourthing your way to "empty victory" stradegy in obtaining another faux Championship!) If you are lucky enough to achieve another one by way of default due to top tier racers injuries or absance,please have enough class to acknowledge the fact!!! ps... By the way your little guy Tate is a ROCKSTAR ! Cheers mate;-)
....and pizza...i think RV said thatReed went wide in a turn and he and Reeds lines began to cross and and that he didn't want to risk it, so he had to double-single and Reed tripled.....it's in the interview on supercrossonline.com!
MKZ...well thought out. Spoken by a "true champ" I would assume, or just another poser?
TPowell....maybe some of us have a hard time respecting a guy who doesn't race outdoors, has a reality tv show to promote himself, wears a $200,000 gangster chain around his neck and impersonates police officers??? Respect his riding 100% but his off track antics and decisions go against the very core of the morally conscious family friendly sport that mx/sx has always been known for!
V-O-R......people don't criticize RV much because he really doesn't do much to warrant it. But I suppose because he lost last night and couldn't even get past Reed he has every right to make excuses .....like his bike was off?
Only problem for you JS fans is he's won a race now! You can no longer blame the Yamaha next time he loses or lawn darts......no more ' the Yamaha is a turd '.....
' James would be cleaning up if he had of gone with Suzuki ' etc......the bike has never been the problem......his problem will continue to be between his ears.....
But give credit where it's due......he rode a great, inspired race !
Lot's of racing left though.
Reed has never beaten a big name rider for a championship and it is not going to start this year. I am sick of his excuses and pouting when the problem is him with a lack of speed to compete with the big dogs. JS got around him and is faster so his girl riding in all the time not just last night. He got lucky and won one race so far and I think it will be his last. So either cowboy up and twist your throttle or shut your pie hole Reedy.
Ya...thanks for the heads up on the interviews Whatever.....
As a father of two great young ladies I always have a problem with guys talking down about themselves and comparing their efforts to that of a girl? Kind of distasteful in my opinion...I'm really trying to like Reed but every now and then he says something stupid or just comes across as a big baby.
As fart as RV goes....I don't think he was making excuses talking about the ruts.....he was lead into the topic by Holley who brought up the track conditions and he simply elaborated.......sounds to me like RV had a couple of spots to he was faster than Reed but Reed knew it and took his lines or ran him high into the corners? Guess I'll wait til noon to see for myself. That is if CBS actually shows the racing up front and not Alessi or some other non-factor.
haha....wish I proof read that one......said 'as fart as' ......well RV kind of rode like a bit of a fart so I guess it's ok.
Musquin is a good rider but i dont think he would have been top 5 last night with out Wilson, Seely, Anderson, Davalos and Ratray all having problems. I was watching the live scoring and he was not setting the world on fire back there.
@ Rainmanx, Thank you for the compliment my friend! Yes I once raced and still have MANY friends in the industry, some very big names I must say, not much into name dropping though ; ) The fans should just appreciate the dedication and talent it takes to compete at that level and just enjoy. I myself am guilty of calling out a crybaby when I see one though! haha...
Back to back races RV couldn't get by Bubba.
Who's in who's head now!!!!!
Great ride #7. That's the one guy you can't give momentum. And it looks like it's on.
JS7 has won 1 out of 4 and is 4th in points, give him the title now I guess superfans. I love his fans, they forget all his antics and really do believe he's the best in the world again over 1 race win. He owned it last night just like others have owned him so far and it's awesome. This year is going to be sick.
To all the IDIOTS that say James cant put together a string of wins: are you all so short minded that he has been the only one to have a perfect season next to carmichael...24-0. oh i forgot , that string of wins isnt as good as reeds or villos right, theyve had perfect seasons too right(sacasm)? The fact most of you are so fickel in this sport is sickening. You only like the current guy whos winning and forget that a few yrs ago people were also booing reed now everyone has a crush on him. Im not the biggest stewart fan, and i know reed has beat him a few times but reed alsways gets his handed to him by James-look at 09 go back to 01 Unadilla. Reed on a 250f running his mouth saying if he got the holeshot he could beat (a then 16yr old stewart). Stewart lets reed pass him several times just to shut him up and beat him. Real people who follow this sport will remember Reed crying on the podium when he was going against ricky. Cmon people! I like all the racers but stop making excuses, BECAUSE OPINIONS DONT MEAN SH!T UNLESS YOU HAVE FACTS TO BACK THEM UP!
my bad 02 Unadilla not 01. click if you would like to see FACTS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o0aHp6HezQ
Ok, aside from all the banter I am pissed. Getting ready to watch the race today (yes 24 hours after the fact which is BS) and now they have Face the Nation on instead!!! WTF. A little note to whoever makes these decisions to put SX on CBS. STOP!!!!!. I'm a 48 yr old ex MXer with cash to burn and I'm pissed. Whatever it is your doing to make these assnine decisions to run Supercross on CBS is putting me off. Not a great way to keep the sport alive and intice me to spend my money idiots!
Ok, end of rant but serious this is crap!
Total Crap!
@ rjschad
Are you new?? Everyone has given James a ton of credit and respect for going 24 - 0 against Tim Ferry! Wow.....crawl back under your rock dude!
Go here to voice your complaints about CBS coverage.
http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/fb_global_form.php
ok CBS wheres the race? Politics reign over supercross?
Well I`m watching CBS in Canada and so far they`ve showed BOTH heat races start to finish.......RV and JS were in a diferent league in the second one.
Surely they`ll find a way to screw up the main eventÉ
JS7 has his flashers on!!!!! Whatever happened to that shouldn't the guy be serving time for impersonation a police officer??????
you know if you or I did it we`d be in the slammer!
Pretty sketchy move by Reed cutting across on RV at the face of the biggest triple on the track.......if RV didn`t let off he may be in the same room as Canard!
Im confused, I thought dungey couldn't pass reed but that looked like a green bike that couldn't seem to get it done.
Yes ChromKnob......not very often that he doesn`t pass him either......probably doesn`t trust the cry baby ( riding like a girl ) after he came over on him at the triple.
RV will get a start soon and not have to deal with the whiner and the felon......
Great race. I can't remember being so amped during a heat race! CBS - that's how you do it!!!!! Great job! Congrats Bubba. Another epic season.
SA11
you nailed it.....best coverage yet in a non-live telecast....maybe they`ve heard the complaints.....
that was some great racing......little disappointed in Bate`s interview with Bubba where he said he just `rode around out there``......not a lot of respect shown there!
oooooooohhh, it doesn't happen that often. I knew there was a bull#$%@ explanation there somewhere. I guess last night was the first time reed has ever ridden like that. Hey ripdown, you should have TROY LEE custom paint your ass since your head seems to be stuck in there.
I just finished watching the race on CBS, and even thought I was not happy with the outcome, I have to admit that CBS really stepped it up this week. They showed all of both heat races, and had no commercial breaks during the main. Maybe they actually listened to our complaints from last weeks horrible coverage?? It was as good as a Speed broadcast, but with better Hi-Def. Good job!!!
hey good one......pretty easy to be a tough guy on a keyboard super douche!
chromknob, who's the tough guy ?
@motoracerorange-- guys like you are the reason I came up with "Stewtards" years ago. Didnt see you on here running your suckhole when Stewie was losing. I hope you are sitting next to me at Indy and you "BOO" any rider.
@Ripdown, yes. I saw Reed come over on RV1 on the triple too. Kind of a shetchy move. Isnt that the same reason Reed went off on Stewie a few years back at Jacksonville?? I think it was.
CBS... Cant Broadcast Supercross... let them know with the link!
http://www.cbs.com/info/user_services/.phpfb_global_form
just watched the cbs coverage of the race, and they did not show Ralph, Jeff, or Ricky, once, that is so cool, the only one on screen was Erin Bates, the coverage is way way better!! great racing keep it up cbs.
for those who did not see the race in your area,
contact your local cbs station and tell them about your interest in viewing Supercross!
Well interesting comments to say the least. I dont have TV so I dont watch the races at home. I used to watch them when I could and as us old timers know we had to stay up til midnight or 1am and before that it would be weeks or months to watch the races but this is now so I guess ya have a reason so complain.
Juat got done checking out the info on the live timing site. One thing that is interesting to me is that the 250's only lapped up to 19th place, Ben Lamay and then the 450's only lapped up to 16th place Michael Leib. That shows several things such as the competion is getting closer, the tracks are getting better and or the layout makes it more even for some of the slower guys ilf you can call them slow after making the final? Makes the races better for both the fans and racers.
Also you never know maybe we will have another different winner next week? Even more likly without the Morasis and Carnard crash.
No CBS coverage at all in NorCal. Face the Nation and Homelink. Feld and who ever is in charge are trying to make Supercross main steam....It's not going to happen people. Thanks for nothing! Stick with Speed Channel Davey!
I think Poto should have done the ol' neck grab on Rees after he got crossed jumped... twice!!!
How you morons turn Chadwicks remark about riding like a girl is beyond me.Keep taking those Stupid pills morons.As far as the champane thing I guess Reed didn't think he deserved to spray it.Keep it up idoit haters. By the way Villomoto caught up to JS7 two weeks in a row and JS7 pulled away both times and so did Chadwick.I guess the Flying Tomato is not the Fastest Rider on the planet just yet.At least not in SX.
Ok some other riders are known for throwing a little "temper tantrum" or whatever you like to call it(GOAT), but at least they can be professional on the podium and save the anger release until they make it back to the rig. Nobody likes to lose, but someone has to, get over it and try again next week.
Even though the coverage was good, was it just me or was that a much more boring race than normal?? Not saying that it was boring compared to nascar or basketball, but boring compared to most other SX races. Same triples, same whoops, same on/off sections, pretty close to the same finishing order, mostly a conga-line around the track.... Haven't seen the 250's yet though, hope it is better!
So reed wins last week and doesn't this week & everyone is talkin S**T. I guess its true too the word'"your only as good as your last race" Now everyone is on the Bandwagon with Stewart? Posers I tell ya!!
by my count reed has finished ahead of villopoto in 3 out of 4 races this year. RV has not been able to pass reed 75% of the time. Ripdown, what is your definition of often?
@MXLord327 it is Just you.Hahahaha
Nothing wrong with Reed showing a little honesty and emotion after the race. Would you rather he thanked his team and sponsors like a robot and bailed? These guys don't race for second place...
welker,
you forgot the number of laps, 250s - 15 and the 450s - 20
i dont think there was anything wrong with what he said, but thought the champagne thing was kind of childish
Thanks for the reply fred, my buddies and I figured that the first person to respond would be the biggest moron on this site, it looks like you win the prize - congratulations!!!
Thank you MX Lord for the prize.Would you like to buy some more Tard Pills? Hahahahaha
Chromnob. U'r right Reed us faster than RV. You should watch the interviews on supercrossonline. RV didn't want to risk it cause Reed was being a tard
@ripdown, hey man i'm keepin' it light here, but did you indirectly indicate that RV was yet again afraid to pass someone in front of him so he just chose to stay behind them?? That would be like two weeks in a row he's done that!! I really don't think RV is afraid of making a move on anybody, it's just some nights you can and some you can't.....and that applies to all of those guys...good nights...not so good nights!! @bd, dude can you EVER give JS credit when he wins?? Even i am learning to give it up to the guys i'm not a fan of when they make it happen!! Come on buddy!! haha
.....now in that one instance where Reed crossed his line, i will give you that, and yes RV did say that, BUT what about the rest of the race?? I just don't think he purposely stayed behind Chad (and James earlier in the race) just to play it safe...that is not his style!!
The Dual Red Plate thing for next week is total BS.I hate the way Field Motorsports and MX Sports as well does the RedPlate thing.If last night SX race was the last race of the year then Reed would of been the number ONE based on his two second places.There is a clear SX point leader here.There should be no Dual RED Plates for next weekend.If I was Reed I would pitch a Hissie Fit to Field Motorsports.
I also want to say that i honestly thought RV was gonna get the win last night after what he did in practice...which was amazing i thoought. The dude went out and bested himself three consecutive laps on the last three laps of practice.....three in a row he laid down a faster time, i've never seen anybody do that in practice before!! That was badass!! maybe there actually is a "fastest man in practice" curse!!
ripdown, I'm not "saying" anything. The results "said" reed has been beating villopoto, consistently. As far as I know race wins and championships aren't decided by "yeah but.." , "but if.." , "wait until...", "there wasn't..." and so on. Your so defensive your starting to sound like the "crybaby" you accuse reed of being.
"oh i almost liked Reed. Than he said this..." Seriously your either a fan or your not. And people who say that are just a cop out. Yes Reed has been sooky in the past and blamed everyone and everything. But in this case it was him blaming himself. Reed in my opinion always gives interviews that are worth watching and normally quite honest. The negative to that is you are going to hear when he is not happy. Hell I would prefer this everyday of the week over your typical RD5 interview. (RD is the man just not his interviews).
I will say though that I am surprised that Racerx felt the need to mention it in this article. All the riders do stuff like this. RV missed a load of 3rd place interviews at the nationals last year. I am sure he would of been tipping his champagne into the dirt, had he of shown up. (not bashing RV, I simply just don't care).
Point is, people who are bagging Reed for it just simply didn't like him anyway. One a different note. Was the first race of the year I didn't say JS7 was going to win, and he did haha. Going to be bad if he gets on a roll. But I think that will be kinda hard in this class. Good work on a much needed win
Hey fred it's FELD, not FIELD, now WHO has been taking the tard pills????
there are no more tard pills, ref-man OD'ed on them a few hours ago.
Where are BillC and B-KR at? They both told me that if RV had a decent start, Stewart, Reed, and Dungey would not stand a chance. B-KR even told me that I would learn the "truth". Last night, RV had a decent start, fell in behind Reed and Stewart rather quickly, and failed to pass them. Dungey did not have that great a start, but moved up to fourth nonetheless, failing to pass the three other fastest guys out there. It seems to me that the playing field is a little more even than you two have been giving credit for.
That is a well said post J_Sloan, i remember hearing that from them also....the thing is it could very well have turned out to be true, it just didn't last night!! i've learned that "IF's"are not a good thing to use when making a race prediction OR when commenting on a race outcome. The truth is nobody knows. Many have predicted RV dominance and we have obviously not seen that yet!! I think what we have seen is what we will see all year.....with every race being it's own self contained mix of factors that will leave questions unanswered until the checkers fly each time!! I think that is a great season in the making!!
@motoracerorange.....you boo'ed Reed so loud that he commented about it after the race? Thats awesome! I laughed my a%$ off when i read your post. I am a Reed fan but that is some funny sh%$. We're you hammered drunk? Wait never mind that last question this is RED BUD(weiser) we are talking here. I want you to boo so loud at Indy and Louis that I hear it on SPEED!!!! Go streaking through the whoops with 22 painted on ur ass. That is a triple dawg dare my friend!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about the other guy, but BillC is up in Canada snowmobiling. I am sure he share some of his 'great wisdom' with us when he returns.
I am NOT a JS fan, but he rode AWESOME last night. That was a killer race and CR rode awesome as well. As for RV he was in attack mode in his heat and in the first half of the race and then seemed to back it off, did anyone else notice this ???
GOSH the posters on here crack me up, the second post on this report startes whining about lack of JS haters and hoohawing about where are they, Hell I just watched the race two hours ago. motoracer.... how old are you???? This is my favorite sport and None of us should be booing any of the racers unless they really cheat or are dirty. I also don't get why some posters get of on calling each others names and thowing slime into these forums. must be kids or something.
OK CBS coverage was WAY better today, I gripped loud about it last week and it looks like they listened and showed some GREAT coverage !!!!
can't wait to watch the lites
RV had a 9th place start, JS had a 6th place and CR 2nd I balieve. I am suprised RV didn't get both JS and CR in this race. I did see CR cross jump in front of RV twice and I did see RV make several small mistakes. JS finally put in his potential and I hope he can finish the season staying up. I still say RV takes it with wider margins than last year.
These guys are riding AWESOME
ONE more thing, whoever is mocking Reed for boohooing when he couldn't beat RC back in 05 is a jerk. These guys put there heart and soul and body on the line and have the desire to win stronger than YOU can relate to. Reed was not a baby, he can whip your ass with his hands tied. He just proved just how bad he wanted to win and anyone fan or not who follows this sport recognizes that that CR tries his hardest even when the chips are down. Must be kids, nothing wrong with kids but you will grow up hopefully
Chromnob?? I guess I'm confused. Reed has been beating RV consistently? I must be delusional cause I could of swore RV was the current outdoor, SX and Mxon champion? I can't see how that's possible if Reed has been beating him consistently! Wow......do you even think before you post ? Pretty sure Reed was right there for a front row seat to all of RV's successes last year!
Read closely waterhead, 3 OF 4 RACES THIS YEAR. last year was ........ last year. I'm sure I'm not the only one watching races THIS year. It's kind of obvious there are atleast 3 guys who really don't gibbachit what the object of your affection ( creepy, by the way ) did LAST year. Heed your own advice dimwit.
You know, when reading these comments, you can tell the guys that;
a) Can actually ride a motocross bike; and
b) Are actually over the intellectual age of 15.
Most of you are not either of these things, certainly not both together.
Keyboard racers unite!
I would be happy to have any of the talent of these guys and have been given (or had the balls and left their country and chased it in foreign lands - Reed) the chances and opportunity they have. How they act off the track and speak can be most of the time taken out of context. If you actually sit down and have a one on one conversation with any one of these guys I think you would be pleasantly surprised that they are in fact quite good guys but driven to succeed.
So before you mouth off, type what you were going to, leave it and come back 20 minutes later and re-read what you were going to post. See if you sound like a twit to yourself. motoracerorange - you are a classic case in point mate.
I get pissed if I ride like a girl too and know I am capable of better. Line up beside Reed and see what you can do.
These guys might f up occasionally, cut them some slack. It is the keyboard racers that judge them instantly.
Ok. I'll go through this slowly cause I'm the dimwit?
Round 1. RV wins by a pretty good margin ( beat Reed in the process )
Round 2. RV taken out on first lap and charges all the way back to 3rd. ( passing Reed in the process. ( that's twice this year he beat Reed waterhead
Round 3. Reed finished ahead of him yes. But I'd say RV beat himself by inexplicably jumping off the track on the first lap.
Round 4. Reed beat him straight up. RV looked to have him a couple of time but Reed shut the door. One time he did it in the face of a triple jump which was pretty much just dangerous. ( ask TC about doubling triples )
Realistically Reed beat him one of four times this year. You were probably to busy choking u'r chicken staring at his picture to remember RV coming from dead last and beating him in round 2 so I'll forgive you for your inaccuracy.
@ Whatever. I never suggested he's afraid to try and make the pass. Just suggesting he's looking at the big picture. 3rd was probably good enough for him last night since it appeared the 22 was content to cut him off anywhere on the track. Watch the replays of his move at the face of the triple and listen to the interview with RV as it was you who suggested we all check it out! RV himself said Reed took his line away a couple of times and it appeared making the pass was gonna be too risky. Is it possible Ryan might be professional enough to realize it's a 17 round series?
@MXLord, I like to drink Makers Mark with my tard pills.I guess if there is a tie in points after the final SX of the year we will have 2 number 1's is SX next year.
@Fred- man how come you let that dude fun with you like that? Other than that, what did you win? I hope its not a night out with Tons of Fun, I am getting tired of sharing her with everyone. By the way, I will take some more of those tard pills you have. As for 2 red plates, $%@# stupid. Why don't them AMA give out red plates to everyone, so no one feels left out. Maybe you stop selling the those tard pills you have to the AMA.
FRED - you just redeemed yourself, Makers Mark is my choice too, I'll grab my bottle of tard pills and join you!! And I take back my comment about this being a boring race after watching the 250's - now that was a race!! Go Eli!!
Chomob @ Ripdown - "Hey ripdown, you should have TROY LEE custom paint your ass since your head seems to be stuck in there" lol ... Priceless.
I do agree with Ripdown about JS winning on the YZ450. Maybe we wont hear anymore excuses (from the JS superfans) about the YZ450 holding him back. He won on it now, done and done.
Hell of a season so far!
Haha was a pretty good one. Unfortunately he was the one with his head up his ass. Haven't heard back from since out pointed out the blatant inaccuracy of his post. Guess he's on the phone to Troy discussing colors.
Haha was a pretty good one. Unfortunately he was the one with his head up his ass. Haven't heard back from since out pointed out the blatant inaccuracy of his post. Guess he's on the phone to Troy discussing colors.
you guys sit on here and argue hours on end over who is faster, who is better yada yada.. Quit acting like a bunch of idiots and realize this championship can go to any of these four guys.
just because your favorite rider gets a 1st 2nd or 3rd or 4th you always have to write a story about it or tell us why. WTF! This is supercross racing man, any of those four guys can win on any givin night, really just depends on the start they get and if they are feelin it or not, and sometimes you just need some luck.
Who do i think is going to win next week? it will be RV, RD, JS, or CR. This is an epic season and the best rider will win.
I hate JS will passion but the week he has had was probably extremely tough. I didn't know if it would affect him positively or negatively, but obviously that race was for Tex, so congrats. R.I.P Tex!
I also hate Reed but he rode good to hold off an incredibly fast RV. Not sure what happened to RV at the end.
Dungey rode good to get to 4th but if he is in the position RV was at Phoenix and LA I don't think he'll be making to the podium or maybe not the top five. But I could be wrong.
"rv beat himself by......", "rv got taken out....." "realistically reed beat him 1 out of 4 times" Rubdown sounds like the dork in clerks 2 that got so mad he puked on himself. This is funner than mx madness.hahahaha............
Ripdown, do you ever climb the water tower in your town?
Oh, wait. I see your logic. So really JS, CR and RD actually beat themselves by crashing at A1. CR, JS and RV beat themselves at phx and RV "woulda" won last night if reed would've gotten out of the way. Brilliant. You should think about metal flake, maybe a gold L on your forehead. Please post some pics when it's done
Damn good race. IMO, RV had the perfect storm shaping up by lap 10 or so. Had them both in his sights, had attempted almost every possible line out there and just...ran into a glitch of some sort. He over jumped timing sections, missed jumps, just lost his mojo. Even RC commented at lap 10 he liked RV's position. Just one of those nights where fastest dude didn't win. Congrats to James. We are so fortunate to have so many fast dudes in this series. Rather than always hate on a rider, maybe just enjoy the moment. I think top 10 guys are all unreal athletes. Windham, Weimer, Millsaps, Dungey, all represent our sport well. Can't wait till next weekend!
It's a bummer for those of you who missed the CBS coverage,it was very good.They listened and reacted and it was good.Now if we could only talk some sense into the local affiliates that are not showing it.(mine included,luckily my cable gets another CBS station that does show it)
The "he was being smart and didn't want to risk the pass" is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. The triple incident happened with 8 laps to go, I'm sure if RV could have passed Reed he would have. As well as last week.
Great ride last night by Stewart he rode really well and nobody had anything for him, lots of emotion. Reed tweeted props to Stewart, hated to lose but was happy for JS7. If he was pissed on the podium and acted bad, i didn't see it. Its a great season so far. only getting better.
IMO, the racing is more interesting when you really don't know who's going to win. Better enjoy it while it last.
@Whatever, when did I not give Stewie any credit?? I never mentioned the guys name in my post at all. You are always fishing for something as to how I said something bad against your boy. I never even mentioned the guy and you go trying to start some BS. Get over it, I didnt take anything away from your baby boy.. I cant even see a way were you may have thought I did. You are lost..
wow.hahahaha,just enjoy the awesome racing.........
@Dash - very good post, I agree 100%!
You too kokoluv!!
Stewtards doing what they do best, it's almost embarassing to read. That crowd is proving to be the most narrow minded and biased group of fans the sport has ever seen. There has been 4 different winners in 4 races, he's 4th in points and everyone is celebrating like he won a title and saying he's the fastest guy ever again. Lots of racing left and they will all own certain nights like JS did last night. I don't think anyone has ever said JS wouldn't win races this year either for the idiots saying that, and if they did they are clueless. My personal favourite now is the JS fans saying lap times don't matter but that's been their ammunition for the past 2 years while other people have been beating him.
Listen up, all you punks that are slagging Reed for his comments after the race:
When he said "I rode like a girl", he WAS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS OWN LOSS. He was admitting that he didn't do what he needed to do to beat Stewart. And you punks are saying that he was making excuses? You are delusional, and you need to shut the hell up.
While I acknowledge that female riders might (rightly) take exception to his comment, he probably only phrased it that way because he knew he couldn't say "I rode like a p*ssy" on TV.
For all you Reed haters, think back to Millville and him climbing back on his bike and finishing the moto. Let's see you try that!
Not saying you have to be a Reed fan, but saying that he was making excuses after the race is a total crock.
@retardcross. that post hit the bullseye.
@ Retardcross:
Your post was 100% right!
I don't think RV would hold back anything.He knows how precious every point is and would not give up any points to CR or anybody else.(he only won by 4 points last year) He would not take a huge risk but if he had the speed he would have made the pass for sure.He just did not get it done this week an I bet he would admit that.He will work harder and win again soon.
Great season so far all four big guns with a win. I'm a Kawi/RV fan but respect all these guys.
It's just true, it's undeniable fact they are always the first to come on to make excuses about the bike and discredit the other riders (especially Dungey) and the first to show up and rub a single victory in everyones' faces like he just locked up a title and no one has anything for him. Need proof? Just look at today's first few comments in every thread.
Chilli. Go to supercrossonline.com. You can hear ' the most ridiculous thing you ever heard ' right from the horses mouth.
Wow finally watched the race. Was waiting for this huge Reed big cross over the jump in poto's face. Nothing........ he went same line as almost every other lap . Was barely even defensive. If you want to see some stupid line crossing on jumps. Watch Jeff Alessi on Josh Grant. Actually I am quite shocked that some people are so blind to call that dangerous. I guess see what you want to see.
stewart's answer gear looks like he fell in a garbage can.
Retard, chromknobjobber, and graciousone need to go have a circle jerk!! I have never seen such hypocritical asses in my entire life. You losers smack talk Stewart every week when he has a bad week, and now that he wins you get on here and smack talk his fans....what a bunch of douchebags....seriously!! A few of you don't even realize that you are absolutely the same way about Villopoto. Apparently ripdown thinks that RV didn't actually lose the race , or at least that it wasn't his fault. According to him, Chad Reed was just in RV's way all of the time, or else he would have passed him! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, well hell, who knew that...hey everybody, RV would have won last night if Chad would have just got out of his damn way!! Oh, but then there would have been James to deal with also. SO, moral to the story is that RV could have won the race, but couldn't get by the guys who were in his way so he just looked at the "big picture" and decided he would just stay right there in 3rd!! brilliant analysis rip...just brilliant. Oh, and if we don't believe it we can go to supercrossonline.com and listen to RV....cuz apparently that is what the horse said in his interview!! What an ass w-pe!! All of you dudes bashing on the Stewie fans need to go look in the damn mirror....you are every bit as bad, so STFU and play along!!!
I guess RV just decided to double single for a change. Interesting.
I hate all of you. Going to go clean my air filter again......
I smack-talk stewart AND his fans every week. How's that for consistent. If you had been paying attention you would know that not a single race this year has counted because nobody has ever beaten anyone else straight up.
" Did you eat lead paint as a kid ?"
ref-man : "hahaha.............. why?"
I don't think Villopoto would hold back either- He tried to run down Stewart in his heat race, when there was nothing more than pride on the line, and a first gate pick-I'm sure he wanted that top podium step even more than that. He was the third best that night- No shame in that...
Ref man. U need to take a comprehensive reading course. Illiteracy is a dangerous thing.
Dear RIP....I'm just fine dude,i think i am spot on with my post, but i need to remain humble. Anyway, so now you are saying that RV's fate was sealed when he had to double-single huh?? So that was his only shot at getting past Reed huh?? Once again, brilliant!! You're right, he got screwed......gosh darn Chad reed!!
Oh, and chromyknobbyjobby....that was really funny man....i get it, you are saying that maybe i used to snack on lead paint and that maybe it uhfekted my buhrain a little......um, let me go aks my mom!!
Ripdown,
I've had enough of your BS on these forums and if you lived by me I would come beat your scrawney little bit*h ass. You always try to mock people that like Stewart in ANY WAY you can and don't even realize that your schlong is stuck two feet further up RV's ass than any of the Stewtards ever were.
Hey Chromy....Funny thing, last night was honestly the first straight up win as it was the first time that none of the big four hit the dirt or had a mishap in the main!! that makes it offishul!!! JS wins straight up!!
it would explain why you argue with people that wrote the exact same thing you did, just 2 hrs earlier. I'm guessing your probably not a brain surgeon, my bad, I would've never have started with you if I knew about your handicap.
What chromyknob?? That doesn't make any sense!! You ok man??
but dungey had to come from behind and nobody would get the hell outta the way!!!!
I am a RV fan and I say there is no way he just sat back and played smart. I saw him come up short on a triple and then make some small mistakes and he did back off because I believe he was riding tight and "not feeling it" the last half of the race. He definitly started worse and caught up to them and showed them both a wheel several times.They both deserved to beat him. He has been a little faster than reed all year and most of last year. He has also been faster than JS so far this year. But hopefully this race gives JS confidence and he will ride smarter than he has for the last 3 years.
chromob, 2 hrs ago " ......RV "woulda" won last night if Reed would've gotten out of the way"
ref-man, 1 hr ago " hey everybody, RV would have won last night if Chad would have just got out of his damn way"
any lightbulbs going off yet? If your gonna try to act like you know what your talking about, atleast come up with an original thought. Judging by the way your beating the chromknob horse to death ( not getting any more clever ), an original thought is gonna be a tall order.
wait, maybe you just didn't see that. You know , they say doing that "thing" your doing in front of your stewart poster will make you go blind.
well, you are quite obviously the dip s h i t here!! Let me explain braniac!! Listening?? This..." hey everybody, RV would have won last night if Chad would have just got out of his damn way"...was not an original thought or the way i personally felt about the race..........it was me referring to the Ripmeister and what he had said. Now, if you stated the same thing as Rip somewhere earlier on the page, then i apologize for not including you in the fun!! I'm playing with peanut brained people on here, it needs to stop!! Pull your head out of your butt would ya?? And talk about originality, wow the masturbation in front of a poster thing is just minty fresh now isn't it?? Good day FOOOOL!!
" was not original thought or the way I personally felt about the race"
jesus h. christ your f*&$%#@ box of rocks.
You and Riptorn are so wound up your arguing with each other, and aren't even sure about what anymore.
Ref man. You're right. Don't know what I was thinking.

Wow, I am advocating for a forum more like Transworlds where you can rate peoples postings and click to reply directly. Perhaps then all the negative people will realize how many of us feel that their comments stink.

(ie, Chad sprayed his champagne left last week, he should have sprayed it right... he is just not applying proper finger pressure on the bottle. James should have sprayed his champagne in bursts, not all at once. Maybe he should have shaken the bottle more vigorously and smiled at Ryan as he directed the cork. Because we are all champagne spraying professionals right?)
oh wow! that is funny. @ref-man. I truly don't think chromob understands. lol Classic.
