Chad Reed 3rd at Georgia Dome

The L&M/San Manuel/Yamaha rider got a blistering start, taking the holeshot ahead of the current championship leader. The two rivals battled for the lead over the opening laps of the race before Reed slid out on Lap four and dropped back to fifth.

Reed re-mounted his Yamaha YZ450F and set about chasing down the leaders and methodically reeled in fourth then third, but ran out of laps to challenge for second place. “I am really disappointed with myself for making that mistake tonight,” Reed said.   “I have been training well all week and the bike has been awesome.”

“The team at L&M Racing have been there week-in-week out and I’m sure we will bounce back at St Louis next weekend.”
