Outdoors, I will give you RV and maybe, (a big maybe) Dungey would probably beat Reed pretty regularly. But in Supercross, all of these guys have won a few LITES titles, some have won just a few LITES races. The ONLY past lites champs to beat Reed with any regularity are RC and Bubba and the rest of the field is waaaaaaaaay back. Millsaps is not close in speed, Tedesco - no, Langston - no. If you keep going back to lites SX champs you end up talking Jesseman, Preston, Fonseca, Pastrana.............None can match Reed's speed in Supercross. Maybe RV will get better at SX, but the rest will be waiting for Reed and Stewart to retire so they can fight for 2nd behind RV.
I am not a Reed fan! But when one of you threw Josh Grant out there, I had to respond. Josh Grant? Really? Seriously?
Just my 2 cents.

True, I think Villo is a new breed of Lites rider moving up to finally challenge Bubba and Reed but they will need some time. If RV even has a win by Round 8, if at all, I would be surprised. But Tedesco, Langston, Millsaps are not on par with the next group (RV, Canard, Dungey) when they hit their stride. SX might just get exciting again???
