sucks big time for CR....he was actually pulling off the whole racer/team owner deal and in a big way! I question him long term though...between the Millville crash which seemed to scare him the rest of the season and now this crash...i hope he can remain mentally strong...we all know he can twist the throttle damn well

Family the key word here..... now chad has a son and he lost his good friend while back he may question his priorities..... which leads me to believe you might not be as mentally strong as before

After RC retired I was bummed that he wasn't around anymore.
Then, seeing how Chad put his one money into putting together his own team and also seeing how determined Reed was at winning another title, I became a big fan.
Now Reeds gone for at least the 2012 season and I'm bummed again.

i hope this isnt the end of reed. could you imagine 2013 with the 4 main players, plus a healthy canard, and barcia and possibly tomac and wilson moving up to 450's! 8 guys that could all get it done.

Carlsbad, California – In a devastating blow for TwoTwo Motorsports Chad Reed, injuries sustained at last weekend’s Dallas round of the AMA Supercross, have forced him to retire from the remainder of the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship.
Reed suffered a horrific crash while challenging for the race lead on Lap 7 and was unable to finish the race. Initial scans have revealed the Australian has torn his anterior cruciate ligament, broken his tibia and fibula, sustained two broken ribs and has a broken T6 vertebrae. At this point in time doctors are waiting for the swelling on his knee to subside before they conduct surgery.
“To say I am hurting right now would be a major understatement,” Reed said. “I am just trying to figure out what hurts more, the injuries or the fact that I am going to be out for a while with knee surgery. “This is bitterly disappointing, I felt like I had everything in my corner this time. I’ve never felt more comfortable, from the bike and team to my riding.
“I was genuinely in a position to fight for race wins week in week out and expected to be going to Las Vegas for a shot at the title. “To my sponsors and fans thank-you for your messages of support, they mean a lot. This is a difficult time,” Reed added.
The TwoTwo Motorsports team and sponsors will regroup over the next week and formulate a plan to move forward. Reed is aiming to return for the outdoor season but that goal will be re-evaluated by doctors post surgery.
