Jason,
It all started when some young kid on a KX125 showed up and dominated everything while Chad was on his YZ250F and was boasting if he could get a start, he could beat this new kid. After hearing enough of this, this young kid pulled over (while leading the race by 5 seconds plus) to let Chad by and gave him more than a 10 bike head start and then proceeded to pass him back (on the same lap) and gapped him with ease. When the race is over he whines that he is at a disadvantage on the 250F (Tell that to all of the 125 riders now). Then there is the MX Des Nations @ Budds Creek (one of the best races I have ever seen) where Chad would not even ride his 2nd Moto, and the guys camping next to us flew all the way from Australia to fly their colors (they had the tar & feathers waiting for him). Then more recent, what about Vegas with the half hearted take out move? I could go on & on, but HE knows who is a REAL CHAMPION. I am just sorry to see he will be on Green.
Go Villopotto!!!!
