Starts tonight...
Even though I am a big fan of RC...He'll be riding his 4-fiddy & Bubba's on a 250 this weekend. US Open is a tight, arena style track. Therefore, my prediction:
1st Bubba
2nd Reed
3rd RC
4th LaRocket
5th Byrne

Rumor has it the Bubba missed the first practice session today and is said to be in the hospital due to illness. If he does not ride the second practice ar 3pm he will be out for the event. Stay tuned.

Bubba needs to get serious about racing again so he can make next season a good one. He's a great rider just a little unfocused right now. Trust me if I was given what he was at such a young age I would probably be unfocused as well. I just want to see something different than RC finishing a lap ahead of everyone.

The track is definitely tight and will favor a two stroke rider. That means that RC will only win by about thirty seconds.

I think that RC is riding an RMZ450.

I'm going to go with our Motocross Des Nations champs but with a condition for each one.
First: RC (if bubba doesn't take him out)
Second: Windham (if Bubba doesn't take him out)
Third: Tedesco (if Bubba doesn't take him out)

So from what I can tell is that Bubba has the flu, nerves, or something and didn't ride practice this afternoon. It looks doubtful that he will race tonight, but there has been no official word yet.
RC is on the RMZ 450, as he felt that he was not comfortable enough yet on the RM 250 since he has been on the 450 for the last 5 months. I figure he is just testing the RMZ 450 in race conditions to help him better make a choice between the thumper and the smoker for next years SX season. RC is also riding sick, as he has had the flu all week.

Here is some interesting info. RC and Byrne were both on 450's. That is a very tight course for the big thumpers, I thought the two strokes would be a little easier to ride. Guess I was wrong there. I wonder if this will make a difference come Anaheim 1, probably not without Bubba or Chad competing it is hard to get a good estimate which one is faster on the tight technical courses. What do you all think 450 or 250 for the 2006 Supercross season?

2007 for sure, but I'm thinking there is a pretty good chance you may see these guys on thumpers in the 2006 SX season. :D

That is why I voted for Bubba...he was supposed to be racin' a 2 stroke. RC on the thumper did some whoopin' for sure.
