Point Standings after Round 8:
Seems like Reed has lost his speed. He appears to be a rider the works best when confident and i'm guessing right now, he doesn't have that confidence in his dirt bike. Finally Stewart starts and finishes a full race and appears healthy and fast. Davi Millsaps is still the man to beat, Villopoto needs more than two points a race if he's going to regain his title. |
