I should add that if Stewart was to show up he is obviously the 450 favorite over Reed. And when I said Euros, I should also include South African.

Yeah I am pretty psyched to see it online since we don't have Speed. Between this and NBC, the season will be a lot more available for me beyond digging through the internet to glean details.
Betting on Reed and Dungey (Suzuki) sweep although I think the Euros will give the U.S. guys heck and might even take it.
