There was another thread somewhere questioning whether or not Speed was showing them. Turns out, they are. Most are about a week after the actual event. Two weeks for the 250F's.

Guess it's better than nothing. Got to show those re-runs of pinks. They get higher ratings, don't 'cha know.

A more important question is: Which of the top riders is riding the Outdoor Nationals? Apparently, a majority of today's best riders think that riding outdoors is passe--last year's Battle of the Second-Stringers was pretty lame.

Stewart is going to ride them. So it will be him, then everyone else. That is until he gets hurt, which should happen about week two. Alessi will be back, too. But he hasn't lived up to his potential.

Stewart is so much faster than everyone else that he could dial his speed back to 80%, still win, and finally stop crashing and hurting himself. RC was a master at winning while staying within his comfort zone.

I don't think it will be as easy for Stewart as you seem to think. Shorty, Tedesco, Townley, Alessi and Ferry just to name a few are very fast and capable of beating Stewart. Especially as long as Stewart has been off his bike healing. I think Shorty and Townley are going to be very tough to beat outdoors. As far as the Supercross only riders, it is because they are weak and not commited enough to physically train for the rigors of the nationals. Just look at how heavy Reed got last year and how quickly he pulled out of his second moto at the MXDN. It also as far as history shows when the rider is about done with the sport.
