For everyone to know....Bryan got second overall fair and square. On his own riding ability. After being on the podium. Jeff Russell presented some camera footage of three Pro Riders passing a bottleneck and not getting back on the track as soon as possible. These three riders were docked two positions each. If you look at the overall times, that is why three riders were docked.
Bryan would have been happy with second overall, but the end result showed otherwise. All riders rode great and I am glad Bryan got to share his first podium experience with Bill Ballance and Jeremy Rice.

Great job, Bryan!

There's been alot of new faces on the podium this year!

[chad duvall]

Congrats to Bryan! Chad and I were stunned to hear what happened after we got finished with Thad's race. We must of been down on the line when all this took place. I hated that it had to happen like that but a win is a win and Bryan should be very proud of himself as a rider and a professional! This has happened before and I am glad for once good guys do finish first! Chad is sure that it will not be Bryans last taste of victory but maybe next time they could wait for trophy presentation to find out who the real winner is! Good ride Bryan and thanks to you and bonnie for the words of encouragement to Chad at the race!
Chad, Susie and Duvall race crew!

bonnie, you forgot to post a pic of brians dissapearing trick on the podium.

[pteknique]

Way to go Bryan! Glad to see fellow Mid-East riders doing so well.

Way to ride Bri-Congradulations.:macho

[Johnny_G]

Brian: how about lending some of that speed and determination to that washed up sissy that pits one spot over from ya!!!!!!!!!!!!;)

Congratulations on an awesome ride.

To all those who are passing judgement on Bill, Chris and Matt..........I would recommend holding your final decision till all the information is out.

arangements are being made to make the footage from the helmet camera Bill was riding with accesable to all of you, so you can see exactly what happened, and decide if you would have done the same as the top 3 did.

Bill is extremely upset with the situation, and will be posting a response of his own very soon.

[coryatver]

Whatever happens I bet at the wisp bill isn't gonna let anyone come close to him...

Does that mean Bill is a bad Guy

Good Job Bryan on your finish I'm glad your doing so good on your YFZ450 and havent switched like the other guys

[seamonster]

Congratulations Bryan.....you were flying. Its a pleasure watching you guys work!! Its enjoyable seeing some different faces giving the champ a run for his money....cya at the Wisp!

[rowlrag]

Brian, if you won or got second it doesn't matter cause you are at the top, and I congrat you either way!!! Keep hammerin :D :D

[JEREMY BENSON]

WAY TO GO BRYAN, YOU WERE FLYIN AROUND THAT TRACK!!!!!
GREAT JOB, YOU'RE A GREAT TEAMATE, GLAD TO SEE YOU WITH FOUR STROKE TECH!!!!!:cool:

[cdalejef]

Great job Bryan! Looks like our little battles last year taught us alot for this year. ;)

[chad duvall]

NO! I am not saying anything to that matter at all! And Chad would never pass judgement on any other racer! We respect Bill as a fellow racer and Chad has been asked what would he have done and he says he really dont know! There has been other things happen in this series that people question, but just like chad getting hurt you take the chance for people to pass judgement on who you are sometimes! This was intended to congratulate a racer on a great ride not a political verse on who feels those three were right or wrong! If Bill feels strong enough on this matter then he should see it thru! If he has the support of his family and crew then that is all he needs to hear!
