Reed: "I'm ready"
If there is one rider on the planet with the experience and the skills to run at this upcoming Supercross Championship it's Yamaha mounted #22 Chad Reed. While there will be other threats to win races and perhaps more, Reed is the guy with the credentials to back up his attack.
Let it be known that there is blood in the water. With RC in retirement mode and likely to only compete in selected events, the other top riders can smell the blood and are looking to move in for the kill. And while Bubba Stewart might be the new big fish, Reed is a shark and he knows the sight and smell of blood when it is present.
The truth is that while Stewart might be the odds on favorite to capture the two Supercross Championships up for grab, and perhaps an newly inspired Kevin Windham should not be forsaken, Reed is the guy with the proven record and the will to take the throne. The big #22 in blue is going to be a real force this season and Reed has recently said he is ready to compete in the two Canadian rounds that lead to the World GP title and into the AMA title. Reed says he's been working harder than ever and feels he has the speed to run with anyone on the planet. With Stewart's inconsistent ways and Reeds determination and skill it is safe to say the titles are wide open and there for the taking. Both riders are going to have to be smarter than the average bear if they are going to come out on top.
Last season was the closest Supercross title in history with Carmichael and Reed tied for the lead, and Stewart just three points behind going into the final round. RC won the race and the title, but not without working for it. This season is promising to be just as close with Reed and Stewart to fight it out. Or course Windham would like to be up there to and K-Dub may in fact surprise some people. There are other spoilers out there to, including Lites champs Grant Langston and Ivan Tedesco, as well as Davi Millsaps who is on the mend from a broken leg and should be ready for the AMA series that kicks off in January in SOCAL.
