THEY'RE BACK!
Congratulations to RC for a solid return. I thought he could do it, but I’ve also been away from racing before and I realize how hard it is to jump right back in at full speed. He will probably get even faster and stronger as the season progresses. Vuillemin surprised me with his speed, but mostly with his resolve in the second moto to hold off Reed and pick up second overall.

In the125 class I am happy to see a battle. Roncada has definitely discovered something lately and I hope it continues. However, just like in the 250 class the challengers have yet to win a moto.

I also want to tip my hat to FOX. During the weekend they sent Ricky and James out in several versions of “05 gear and then topped it off with clean retro gear. Chad reed’s new stuff looked cool too, but FOX is killin’ it right now. It’s no wonder they have been around for 30 years. Of course FOX helps out my family with product and this probably sounds biased, but it’s hard not to notice the fashion statements of RC and Bubba.
