The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a hearing scheduled then to review a motorcycle exemption, and the AMA and MIC are working the phone hard to get some traction in our nation's capital with lawmakers. We've been talking about the Lead Law for about two years now, and the thing is coming to a head in May in Washington, DC. Six rounds to go and yet it seems like we're starting a whole new deal beginning this weekend! If Reed somehow gets his TwoTwo Motorsports/Bel-Ray Honda into the points lead, it will be one of the biggest stories our sport has seen in some time. Both Reed and Canard were flying, and it only added to the element of excitement that makes it feel like it's a brand new season. So will Chad Reed carry his momentum into Toronto? His late-race battle with Trey Canard was almost overlooked as a result of all the drama off the start. But standing there and and answering a reporter's questions on your worst day of the season is the mark of a champion in my book.

It had to be horrible for him to be there watching, and he even said he expected to lose 25 points to Stewart, which of course did not happen.

One thing I want to point out about Ryan Villopoto: I was really impressed that he stepped up on the podium before the main event and faced the music of the Speed TV cameras by doing a pre-race interview with Erin Bates.

Ryan Villopoto is not only on the cover of Racer X, but he made the cover of Moto X in Germany as well, shot by our own Simon Cudby. So root for #926 Josh Snider, Canada-he's a hero for even showing up and trying. But here's the thing about Toronto that I don't get: there is exactly one Canadian rider who signed up for the AMA Supercross class.

The вЂњinternationalвЂќ aspect is still a leftover from the Jam Sports/AMA/Live Nation/FIM fiasco of several years ago, so it's a must-do. You can follow lap times here, or follow us on Twitter ( most of the teams would probably rather do without the hassles of a trip across the border (especially so many foreign-born mechanics that probably worry about not having their visas in order to reenter the country), I think it's pretty cool to have a round outside the U.S., and I have floated the idea of going to Estadio Azteca in Mexico City for years. But if you want to save the suspense, you might not want to get anywhere near Racer X Online, because we will be covering the event from early tomorrow to late night, long after all of the riders and teams end up in the hotel bar that overlooks the Rogers Centre. You can watch the Toronto SX on Sunday on Speed at 5 p.m. How they bounce back this week is the thing we've all be waiting to see, which is why this week just seems longer than normal!

Having a rhythm section that close to a start (and a right-handed one at that) was asking for trouble, and the series got it.Д«ut from an entertainment standpoint, it was good for the 450 class- Chad Reed is suddenly in title contention after picking up 22 points on RV-but obviously bad for RV and Stewart. Was it a flaw in the track design? In my personal opinion, yes. Then of course series points leader Ryan Villopoto failed to qualify, as did Justin Brayton and Daytona SX Lites winner Blake Baggett. It happened in a section that basically knocked four top riders out of the points: Stewart finished eighteenth based on his qualifying time, which was better than Matt Goerke (nineteenth and a broken wrist) and Weston Peick (twentieth), who also went down with him. The masses and the media have been waiting to hear more about James Stewart's undisclosed injuries after that frightening crash off the start of the main event. If it seems like it's been a long week since last Saturday night's crazy Jacksonville race, youвЂ™re right. I had Duke and Wisconsin in the Final Four. Welcome to Racerhead, home of the world's worst NCAA bracket.
