Turns out that Reed had a broken hand from the tangle up. Their has to be some favoritism going on there, they dropped his suspension and fine once they found out his hand was broken, but that call should have never been made. If it was any other riders it wouldnt have been a big deal. I think Reed maybe came out this year trying a little too hard and think Stewart was coming into the season with a HUGE ego.
Now if only we could keep JLaw out of jail long enough to have the endurance to race, bc the guy has the speed. I just wish I could ride 1/2 as fast as these guys. The amount of training they put in is just crazy, I dont see how any of them have any kind of life.
Do you ride? There is a local kid by the name of Jace Lewis, I have yet to see anyone beat him at Bremen. At the time I was a sponsored B-class rider and I though I had a good pace going, I was hard braking into a turn and the next thing I know Jace bunny hops of a braking bump whips it and lands into a rut and goes flying by me. I was awe struck. He did pretty good in the nationals this year from what I was told sometimes top ten.

Pros are on a another level, that really put there speed into perspective for me.
