Awesome.

CR/RV/MA plus the others will be awesome.

Hopefully Reed has had enough time to get the bike dialed right for him.

I hope Alessi doesn't back off just because Chad is his teammate. And I hope RV spanks Reed like a redheaded stepchild.
Man, I can't wait until Saturday!

It sounds so weird referring to the nationals as being on Saturday. :confused:
I'm wanting to see some 3 or 4 way battles for first place in both classes and I can't wait until some all out mud fests.

Exactly. I honestly think Reed, Alessi, and RV are gonna be real close to the same speed. And the 250 class is just a gate full of potential winners. For the first time in awhile, im excited about MX.

Maybe this time the redheaded stepchild will be doing the spanking:lol:

I don't think Alessi is gonna back off for Reed. Alessi's spot on the Suzuki squad is largly due to his skills outdoors. Not saying he doesn't deserve the ride in SX, but Decoster's expectations have always been a lot higher outdoors than in for Alessi. I'd even go as far to say that if Reed and Alessi were battling for a win and Reed left himself open, Alessi would dive in and punt him off the track if he has to.
I'm more excited to see Pourcel, Dungey, Rattray, Searle, Stroupe, Barcia, and all those guys go at it. Holy crap, that class is stacked this year
