Chad Reed To Exit Moto X In 2011
MOTOCROSS superstar Chad Reed, one of Australia's greatest sporting exports, is poised to turn his back on an annual $8 million income racing motorbikes in the US to become a V8 Supercars driver.
Fox Racing's Reed said yesterday he would return to Australia when his two-year deal with Kawasaki ends in 2011 to join his good mate Jamie Whincup in the V8 Supercars series.
Ranked No. 3 on the list of highest-earning Australian sportsman behind Greg Norman and Harry Kewell, Reed will end his reign as the world's best motocross rider in what will be a major coup for the V8s.
"I have tested with Team Vodafone and it is certainly an ambition of mine to drive again," said Reed, who lives in California.
"I have given a lot of thought to coming back and it could be something I do in the next couple of years. I would have to do it properly though, which would mean coming through the development series."
Only 27, Reed could become one of the top drivers, according to Ford back-to-back champion in waiting Whincup.
"He has spoken a lot about coming back and driving," Whincup said. "And I think he has the talent to do it.
"Chad is a racer. Give him enough time in any vehicle and he will be a success. At the end of the day you learn how to control the throttle, the break and learn about grip and rubber.
"It is the same for a bike or a car and once you have that skill, then all you need is time. The best will still be the best."
Reed has been considering the switch since he test drove the Team Vodafone Falcon in 2007. He was on the verge of quitting last year before signing a new two-year deal with dirt bike giant Kawasaki.
Reed, who is worth an estimated $25 million, said he would have no trouble turning his back on another rich US motocross deal.
"I have made my money," he said. "It is not what motivates me. The challenge of doing something new is more important.
"I have done a lot in this sport and by then I might be looking at a new challenge."
Whincup said Reed would be able to help market V8 Supercars in the US, with the sport recently signing a deal with Fox to broadcast all the championship rounds in America.
"He is a superstar over there," Whincup said.
"Chad was pretty impressive when he tested with us. He didn't set lap records but he did a bloody good job."

Petr Pilat's foam pit succumbs to Chuck Carothers and his Harley Davidson !
On Thursday, the city of Prague was engulfed by smoke, burning to the ground just a mere two days before the tenth annual Gladiator Games was set to take place. Actually, the city's just fine and un-charred, but young FMX ripper Petr Pilat's foam pit is no longer with us. During Chuck Carothers' last day of perfecting his Harley Davidson flip into Pilat's foam pit, the Fire God decided to pay a visit, turning a simple spark between the bike and the foam into a full-blown raging fire.
I was set to post photos of the fire the same day, but as I was posting it a representative from Harley Davidson sat down next to me in the hotel lobby and asked me not to post anything until the jump was over. I don't really understand the reasoning for this, but I honored his request, but now we're cleared. Supposedly the Mayor of Prague, who's a big FMX fan, offered to re-build Pilat's foam pit. Pretty crazy, huh? (Source Espn FMX Ryan Leyba)
The News, From Alpinestars
Sure half the world is aware, but if not, JB is off to Mclaren- good move, or bad? Personally, I don’t think it’s the best move he could’ve made, but hey ho, we shall wait and see what the new season brings. It is certainly going to be an exciting season with new teams and new rules. And even more interesting is the fact that BRAWN GP are no longer- they have been bought out by Mercedes….. I am waiting in anticipation for the summer and the new season!
FORCE INDIA F1 TEAM
With their Mercedes-Benz-powered VJM0s, the Silverstone-based Force India team truly came on form in the 2009 Formula 1 World Championship, placing ninth in the Constructor Standings and picking up a pole position and second place finish along the way. For 2010, the team recently announced that it will enter F1 fray with drivers Adrian Sutil and Tonio Liuzzi. For Liuzzi – who placed 17th in the Driver Standings in 2009 – it will be his fourth straight year in representing the team while Luizi will be a full-time driver for the first time since 2007. "We are very pleased to retain the services of both Adrian and Tonio for another season," said Force India team principal Vijay Mallya. "We have always maintained that consistency is key at this stage in the team's development and for the first time in many years we will have the continuity of not only the same drivers, but also the same engine and senior management.
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER
Healed Scuderia Ferrari Felipe Massa raced to massively celebrated victory in the second leg of his own charity karting on Sunday - the International Challenge of Go-Kart Champions at Florianopolis in Brazil. The 2008 Formula 1 vice champion narrowly defeated his former Ferrari teammate, seven-time F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher by an eye blink of a margin of 0.087 seconds. The dynamic duo battled fiercely through the pack as their third and first places in Saturday’s first heat had left them starting down the order on the reversed grid. Schumacher's combined two day total of a win and a second place made him the outright champion of the annual event. Massa, who was having his first competitive race since his Hungaroring accident in July, placed second. 2009 F1 runner-up Rubens Barrichello had led the early laps of Sunday’s race but eventually finished fourth behind IndyCar driver Vitor Meira.
JONATHAN ROSS ENTERS F1 (not)
To end off Friday nights show, Mr. Ross had a pedal car race against the likes of Hollywood supreme, Laurence Fishburne, and Top Gear man’s ma, Jeremy Clarkson- hilarious. See clip here:

The show was watched by 5 million viewers and I will have you know Ross liked the Astars suit so much, he requested to purchase it after the show!
