Chad Reed Out for the season.
 

Reedy is out with 2 broken ribs, a broken tib/fib, broken spinous T6 and a torn ACL. That was a gnarly wreck....

The pretty much concedes the championship to RV2.

Sorry to hear that, Reed was showing some real speed this year. I wouldn't have guessed that large a laundry list from that header. I figured the knee wasn't good the way it got stretched.

It was shaping up to be a pretty good battle. VP is on his game this year, though like Reed he's not imune to injury. Maybe Dungy can bring a little more to make it entertaining.

I think the season is going to be a yawner at this point unless RV has a bad race.

I agree, Stewart seems to like the ground and Dungy's KTM just isn't there yet.

DeCoster may be able to inspire Dungey. The pass for second in the last race was the "attitude" required.

Who are the potential "sleepers" in the field?

If the 450's end up a race for second at least the Lites show promise.

Weimer looked great in the first race. I like KDUB, but not really a sleeper. Just not Alessi!

That's a huge bummer. Reed has earned my respect the hard way. I always thought he was a dick till he started his own team. The guy has talent, he's mentally and physically tough. I look forward to cheering for him during the outdoor season.

I agree! Being an owner rider must change your attitude. You think he will make the outdoor? Isn't a torn ACL 5-7 months recovery?

Not those guys. I've seen them come back pretty quick. It seems they have more of a confidence thing. Knowing that the ACL (or injury) repair worked and will hold up. Reed is mentally strong and I am pretty sure he will put in the work to get back up to speed. I've got high hopes for him.

I'd like Dungey to do better but he doesn't ride aggressive enough. I think Stewart's best days are behind him and Villapoto looks untouchable. But, being motocross, anything can happen. I feel bad for Chad because he looked like the only guy that could keep up with RV.
