Had the question been: Chad, if you had a choice between a Factory CR250R and a Factory CRF250R for the outdoor season, which would you rather ride for the championship, No 450F's? We'd see a different answer maybe. He only says what he says for 2 reasons. One because of who he rides for. 2, because he is comparing what rules they are given. Sure a 450F in Pro racing is better than a 250 2 stroke. Duh.
