14 Quotes by Chad Reed

It's been tough when you show up for the weekend and have to get a pain shot. I hate needles. I wanted to get back on the track because I knew anything could happen. Look at Dallas last weekend. That's made it all worth it.

I want to be up there battling with those guys. I've got to figure out a way to get better starts and to stay up front. That's my main concern right now. The team has worked hard to give me a great bike, now I need to go out there and at least battle hard for the lead.

It's real exciting to have two weeks to go and all three of us in it. Really the previous 14 races mean absolutely nothing at this point. I'm excited to see how these last two races go.

I'm not going to give up. It takes me a few laps to get going, but I've decided I'm going for it. No excuses. I chose to do this and I'm happy to be on the podium again.

Honestly, I felt confident. Today (in practice) I was horrible, but my team did a good job helping me get ready and it worked out for us.
