The main won't be for some time. Very close race, Ricky and Chad are tied Bubba 5 points behind.

Was it just me or did it seem like malarky how such a big deal was made about RC...when BS led and won the whole race, and the world championship.

Maybe it was just how much camera RC got when he was by himself in second versus how much camera it seemed BS got when he was running in first.

I mean...really you could compare BS and Matt Mladin last year. If they weren't leading it just felt odd.

BS has DOMINATED the last few races. I mean completely out-classed in every way both CR and RC.

And then to have Ricky so happy about being second. wait... no... I mean AMA champ.

Did Bubba really dominate? He could go faster but only at great risk. The reason Bubba lost the AMA is because he wrecked so many times. When Ricky wrecked so did Bubba (a testament to how on the edge they both were). Earlier in the season Ricky caught and passed Bubba as well. To Ricky's credit, he dominated Supercross and Motocross in a way no one have ever done. He beat every record and has more wins than the top 5 superbike or motoGP riders together. No one has dominated any sport as he has.

Motocross and Supercross are what have you done for me lately sports and past Champs are quickly forgotten in favor of the new ones. Bubba may break Ricky’s records but until that time he does not get the accolades. The world Supercross Championship is a joke and just a way for Clear Channel communications to try to take over the sport and an attempt to exclude Supercross away from the AMA. That is why no one will argue that Bubba is champ this year. Only the AMA counts and watching Bubbas demeanor you could tell he still felt defeated because he did not win the AMA.

I was very disappointed Andrew Short lost to Grant Langston, I know him and talked with his father all through the season about how well he was doing. His dad told me Andrew was not good in the mud and and was concerned about the last race. In the mud is where he lost the West coast championship. Growing up in Colorado racing SRAC he could deal with dry blue grove very well as was shown when he won the East/West championship pulling away from East coast champ Davie Millsap. I think Andrew will be racing the 250 class next year. He was always faster on a 250 and use to smoke Tedesco in all the races I seen them both participate in Colorado. Outdoor and Supercross should be even more exciting for next season.
