1. Ricky
2. Reed
3. LaRocco

Unbelievable race! No Ricky didn't get the holeshot. He was 3rd or 4th and at one point was 3+ seconds behind reed! he came back to win by a 6+ second gap over reed! reed had the holeshot, never crashed, never bobbled, it was straight up racing and ricky was faster...period.

unfortunately, windham did crash early in the race. he was up with the pack early but crashed and ended up 9th i believe.

larocco, what a stud! he podiums behind reed.

what's up with vullemin? is he injured or just check out on the season?

can't wait to see the race on tv.

yeh i heard it via webcast... and then watched it after a long day at the track Sunday (tivo rules)
Incredible races ..
I didn't particularily get Reeds comment (during the webcast) post race that he 'let ricky by' ..at the time.. but after watching it... either CR made a HUGE mental blunder with Ricky showing him front knobbies for a lap and half.... or he did as he said he did and let RC go by ..with maybe hopes to catch him later?
Only CR knows for sure... either way.. I truly think RC has just out stamina'ed everyone... hes as fresh on teh last lap as he is on the first..
Mr.consistency
incredible stuff...

true...ricky is a machine! i listened to the post race interviews and media conference and reed essentially said he wasn't going to be able to hold an inside line on ricky in that turn because he was trying to get through the whoops as fast as possible because he know ricky was right there. i interpret that as reed acknowledging the pressure and it's influence in the pass. also, the lap earlier ricky had taken the outside line in the turn so perhaps reed thought he would take away ricky's line...if so, ricky set him up big time for that a lap earlier.

great racing...and more to come!
