Motocross!

Well like most people who watch my videos – well probably the people who watch the supercross ones know, the 2009 season of AMA Motocross is kind of boring yet exciting at the same time. Stewart, Alessi, Villopoto and Windham are not even racing and it’s only been 4 rounds.

Good news is though, Chad Reed will likely grab his first AMA Motocross Championship title, I don’t think he won any in the 125cc class, especially against Stewart all those years ago. For those people who say Chad only entered because James wasn’t I bet you didn’t know Stewart never signed the contract for a motocross season. The only reason, and a stupid one at that, Kawasaki didn’t give Stewart a moto ride for 2009 was because they preferred Ryan Villopoto since he crashes less often. Looks like their plan didn’t work out, Ryan was out in round 2 I believe.

What I don’t understand is why they didn’t sign both riders, I’m sure they’d be happy with a 1st and 2nd for the series. I also thought it was pretty cool that James has been Kawasaki his whole life, hardly any riders do that the only ones I know of are Travis Pastrana and Ryan Dungey, both Suzuki riders.

Back to the Motocross and I have to say NBC is the worst when it comes to broadcasting Motocross. No joke, half the show was talk about the first moto, when they could have shown it. Also the commentary is boring, I prefer Jeff and Ralph since they know what they’re talking about.

Since I’m a Suzuki/Reed fan, I hope he wins the series and hope he gets the next Supercross season as well.

I’ve also been watching the 2007 Lites Motocross season, it’s also very exciting to see Grant, Villopoto and Lawrence battle.

Another (in my opinion) boring race, the season looked like a close Reed-Stewart and perhaps Ryan Villopoto and Reed in the mix, but it’s turned out to be a James Stewart show (again). Winning both his heat race and the main event, Stewart gained a substantial lead over 2nd place. Reed came out of the first corner in 4th, passing Ryan Villopoto and team mate Mike Alessi but unable to even challenge Stewart. Alessi eventually dropped back a few more places when the Redbull Honda riders and Kevin Windham charged through. Villopoto has picked up the speed, this week being able to keep up with Chad Reed and finally, for the first time this year, he didn’t stack it or fall over like he usually does. Bad luck for my Kawasaki fave, Tim Ferry, he was caught up in his heat race holeshot and got run over b a few riders, maybe he should relax and take it easy for the motocross season? Here’s the podium:

Stewart
Reed
Villopoto

And this week I didn’t do a video about the SX Lites reason being, I haven’t got the race yet. I might do a double race wrap up next week but don’t count on it! So I don’t even know the results!

Enjoy

This round was quite boring. Reed had a bad start and Stewart was at full speed. So none of those close Reed-Stewart battles I hope for each week, but still some enjoyable racing. Mike Alessi, the holeshot master, did what he does best, got both holeshots in each of his races, glad to see he is coming bad from injury quite nicely, but he couldn’t hold that 1st place position. Reed came from mid pack to 2nd which was a good performance, unable to catch Stewart. I’m not sure if Ryan Villopoto is having bike issues or something, but every round he falls over on the corners/berms, it’s quite the mystery, he won’t win a race if he keeps that up, but he did make the podium, too bad he surrendered 2nd to Reed when he fell over, again! Stewart was no doubt the fastest, looks like he felt good all night, especially with that ‘performance’ at the start of the night. Reed and Stewart were the heat winners!

Final results for the main:

Stewart
Reed
Villopoto

Well this is the first race of the east coast lites, and i must say, i like the west coast racing better! Mainly because this race was boring or maybe it was the track? I don’t know, we’ll see in the next rounds ahead. And it seems I am abit of a Suzuki fan, going for Nico Izzi, mainly because he is racing for Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki. Anyway, I’m not really a East Coast Lites fan but here’s the overall for the night:

Christophe Pourcel
Brett Metcalfe
Nico Izzi

And if you have a song, suggest it! If a suggested song is suitable I’ll use it and credit them. It turns out YouTube is going to beat down hard on anyone with copyrighted music, luckily my video was spared because I am a partner I think or maybe Universal Media Group don’t mind it. Lucky I have this site at around 60% completion so all my videos can be posted here, unless I get a cease and desist order, anyway, I am trying to get as much done while I can!

Latest round of the supercross, it was the usual showdown of Reed and Stewart, too bad they never battled for the lead or which each other. Stewart takes the win, Reed does the impossible, coming from dead last to second in 20 laps, over taking Windham on the final lap and beating James Stewart’s best lap of the night by 2 seconds, he’s doing a good job of representing Australia.

250 Main:

Stewart
Reed
Windham

The supercross lites class is kinda exciting, bad luck though for champ Jason Lawrence, another bad round for him, having to go to the LCQ and not placing well in the main. My favourite Lites rider, Ryan Dungey had a good night, taking the heat race and the main. Team Pro Circuit Kawasaki had a good night, riders Ryan Morais and Jake Weimer placing 2nd and 1st in the their heat race and 2nd and 3rd in the main.

125cc Main

Dungey
Morais
Weimer
