    I hope he gets his mojo back and can make the outdoors an interesting series. Not to say I am a JS7 fan but it's tough to kick a guy when he is down.

    Should be good to see Dungey, Stewart, Millsaps, Weimer, Brayton etc. going at it back and forth. One week one guy will be the fastest the next week someone else. With Villopoto, Reed and Canard hurt and Stewart off his game the series can get kind of boring at times. Hopefully with a bike that Stewart seemingly likes more than the Yamaha he can get some of his confidence back and make a good run of it.

    boring? have you been watching SX? shit, both classes (Lites + SX) were nail biters with those guys out. awesome racing. loved the E vs W in Lites this past weekend. Barcia and Tomac are RIPPIN'

    right, i'm not a Stewart hater or anything, i just never drank the Kool Aid. (plus i'm a Honda humper at heart)

    Lites has been interesting and fun to watch. But I can't say that the 450 class has been all that interesting.

    Yeah Millsaps got out front in Salt Lake City and Dungey made the charge to the win but watching the whole race and not what the tv showed the viewer showed that Dungey was on fire after the Wiemer incident and it was only a matter of time before he caught Millsaps. Admittedly he might have run out of laps if it wasn't for the lappers that slowed up Millsaps but he was definitely the fastest rider on the track that night.

    If Villopoto hadn't been hurt he would have run away with the last few races like he did all the others where Reed, Canard and Dungey were hurt. Just think it is kind of boring to watch one guy out front with battles back in the pack. I liked the battles that were happening at the front of the pack early in the season before everyone got injured.

    The grass will always be greener somewhere else for Stewie. I know the Zuk looks good to him right now but what happens after he samples the soil on that a few times? Honda next???

    I wish he would just get his head in the game and ride. The dude can ride the balls off a scooter but can't seem to keep it upright. Maybe this will get his mojo going again but I doubt it.

    i guess for me, watching Brayton and Millsaps gain momentum has been fun. i'm always pulling for Dungey and Short too.

    Weimer bugs me.

    How'd you get them away from his wife to bust?

    Just givin' you a hard time Biggity! Kids are cool and a big commitment. Betting the little moments of fatherhood will far outweigh the little moments of riding with us goobers in the long run.

    Riding will always be there, she won't always be young.

    Agreed that watching Millsaps make the step up is cool and seeing Brayton and Shorty riding well is cool too.

    I'm pulling for Dungey most of the time. He has the speed to run with the fastest out there right now and a little personality to go with it without being an idiot on the podium and off the track.

    It took me a while but I have become a Reed fan over the last couple of seasons as well.

    Favorite next tier rider is Windham big disappointment when he was pushing Stewart and got hurt I would love to see him race the outdoors but don't think it is going to happen. Have to wait until next years SX season to see him out there again.

    I personally can't root for Villopoto even though he is incredibly skilled and fast. My girlfriend picked him as her pony and I can't root for the same guy as her, just wouldn't be as fun if we liked the same rider. Plus, RV2 can be somewhat bland on the podium, though he has livened it up a bit recently.

    Lites guys, I like Tomac. Seems to have the speed and skill to run with Barcia but again he isn't as much of a tool off the track as Barcia can be. Girlfriend and I went to A1 and saw Barcia doing some stuff in the pits that made me think he was a jack ass but his riding is at the top of the class right now.

    Wilson needs to just ride and stop making excuses for why he isn't winning as much as he wants to be. I like him but lately he has had an excuse to blame for everytime he hasn't done well. Just man up and ride the thing like we all know you can (says the overweight guy sitting at a desk wishing he had one iota of the skill any of these guys have).

    sooo with you on Windham. one of my favorite riders, ever. he was ON POINT at Houston, totally would have caught Stewart if that damn front wheel didn't nip that lip. man did that suck to see.

    i like Barcia a lot and think he'll mature quite a bit this year. super fast, super aggressive, real racing. sorta reminds me of my hero growing up, Rick Johnson. dude was a cocky dick but man was he fun to watch race!

    Tomac just has it in his blood. he will continue to do well.

    I wonder how Stewert got out of the last two years of his Gibbs contract?

    I'm going to go with.......

    Rumored to have had a terrible work ethic in regards to training and testing.

    Also rumored to have left the team hanging for the last few rounds in regards to fan appreciation type appearances at the remaining races after being injured.

    Was let out of his contract by JGR so JGR wouldn't have to pay him a large sum of money to sit around all summer only to not ride very well for them again next SX season.
