I reckon James is gonna run off and hide. Should be interesting to see who finishes second out of Chad and Ryan.

Josh Grant won a wild season opener after favorites Chad Reed and James Stewart crashed into each other on lap 6. Reed managed to restart his Suzuki, Stewart struggled to restart his Yamaha and was struck again, this time by the Honda of Kevin Windham...
Honda's Andrew Short finished 2nd & Reed managed to climb back through the 20-rider field to finish 3rd...

James Stewart just won round 2 in a thriller over Chad Reed at Phoenix - 0.5 of a second seperated them at the line...

EGG has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Saw the 03/09 Anaheim race at the gym, still not certain how the second bike managed to collide with Stewart, but the marshals were doing some fairly frantic flag waving afterwards.

This has the makings of a great season! Stewart on a new bike, Reed with the no1 plate and Ryan Villipoto has moved up.

The Reed/Stewart crash was nasty. Stewart looked very dazed, hence him going in front of Windham.

Round 3 is back at Anaheim... Just following the live timing - dont know what happened to Chad Reed but he is back in the pack (15th) after 2 laps, good to see Kevin Windham leading...

1. Chad Reed - 130
2. James Stewart Jnr - 127
3. Joshua Grant - 111
4. Andrew Short - 102

Stewart crashed out in the first round, whilst, IIRC, Chad got third. It means Stewart has been slowly pulling back a large disadvantage (so slowly because Chad is finishing second all the time).

Yep, it sucks big time. The Chad had a good heat race, but botched the start in the main. Then he got bogged behind some riders and never had a chance. This is worse than watching AMA superbike last year...

Well, it is not like domination is unusual in this series is it? I enjoy watching it just for seeing the bikes on the courses.

Close racing for the lead is always a better deal, of course, but I can't say I expect it out of this particular series.

Finally Chad Reed gets a race win in front of James Stewart - though Stewart did crash twice. The crowd of 61,000 In Indianapolis where treated to a great battle between the 2 class riders of the field....

Points after 9 of 17 rounds...

1 James Stewart Jnr - 199
2 Chad Reed - 199
3 Andrew Short - 150
4 Ryan Villopoto - 138
5 Joshua Grant - 137

Well, Chad wins again as Stewart has a complete nightmare of a first corner (not that Chad had a particularly brilliant start himself!). Still, both put in excellent recovery rides.

I guess we're going see Stewart win, with Chad second, for like the next four races. Then Chad will win due to Stewart making a mess of things (but Stewart will produce another sterling recovery to limit the damage).

This may well be going to Vegas again, it seems.

Stewart got hosed in that race! He was so knackered from the first corner fall, that he tried to get on another rider's bike!
