    just watched round one of super x
    in the 250 class i saw a first corner crash
    it took six laps to move the the hurt rider while racing under yellow

    how about a red flag if it was myself or my daughter i would want to see that flag not riders passing me lap after lap

    poor choice super x

    It might have looked like chaos on the telly, but I thought they handled the situation very well

    Happened right in front of me on the finish line jump, he was very lucky no-one was close behind because he was cactus and couldn’t move. They put the yellow flag out, along with the ambulance flag, they also barricaded the guy and had the riders riding “sinlge track” around him.

    btw Chad Reed…., the guy is a freak, he makes it look too easy.

    Agree with all points. Was right in front of me also.

    I didn’t think reed was riding, what about the epstein barr virus, good for aussie super x him being out here.

    There was no chance of Reedy missing his home track event :woohoo:

    He has however, pulled out of the entire Aussie series because of his illness, and returned to the States to rebuild his ststus & work on the new ride partnership with Honda,,,

    I loved the coverage last night.
    Reed killed it but we are in for a good series. Thought Alessi would have gone better and it will be epic to see him and Villopoto bang bars.
    I thought the two strokes in the Lites class would have been quicker off the line but the 4 bangers smashed them!

    i still feel that a first conrer crash should result in a red flag 6 laps of a yellow flagged can hinder your chanes to progress through the pack if that is the section you favour

    Same old same old, 144cc V 250cc… somehow seems really fair doesn’t it?

    Big call in the states for parity capacity racing again.

    Glad Chad made it to the Newy SuperX, it is his hometown event after all.

    The parity cc thing is an issue in the 85cc class too.

    We have 85cc 2t’s racing against those 150cc 4t CRF150R weapons.

    We were there too and it did look pretty nasty

    Being a spectator I did’nt think it seemed too bad Tramo. I see what ya sayin though. Once the riders passed the injured rider they were on the gas and hookin in again.
    Rules are rules and they havta stick by em I guess. :)

    my daughter has had the honda crf150r small wheel and
    it was a great bike we then bought the dirt action crf150r big wheel test bike it was a weapon and yet at some tracks was rounded up by a 85cc two stroke

    it comes down to money to how fast your bike can be
    one kid in my daughters class had a 150 wich the parent had thronw 23,000 dollars at the bike after the purchase price
