I have never been a huge Dungey fan mainly because all of his speeches sound like they have been pre-written.(perfect, like Jimmie Johnson) But this is one the few times I have heard a top guy who has recently won races not make excuses why he didn't win. He really did have an excuse because of lapped riders, yet he took the hi road and was very humble. Dungey road great race its just that RV2 road a better one. Good job RD5 and I'm pumped about last nights racing, all of the motos were great!!
Dungey is doing better than anyone could have expected and he is in great shape, Hill also> Remember Dungey used to train at Stewarts house too, but before you tag him the future of S/X Stewart has not rode near as fast as he can, not even at A-1. Stewart finished 5 seconds in front Short at A-2, last season if he didn't crash Short couldn't come within 25 seconds of him. I don't think Dungey will have anything for James when JS starts riding the way he normally does. I'm a Dungey fan but I'm not going to get ahead of myself yet.
Your right, Short finished 5 seconds behind Stewart at A-2 . How many times did Short finish 20 seconds behind Stewart last season? Every race Stewart didn't crash! Stewart is not riding up to his normal speed. Dungey and Hill look great but are no match for James when he rides normal. Its funny how everybody is already writing James off. We will just have to wait and see !!
Dungey is amazing ! its great to see him kick but. He works hard and is great for the sport and a great role model for everybody. The racing has been clean without Reed and thats good for tight racing. I like seeing Hill doing so well, riding with Stewart looks to be helping him out. Stewart is not riding like he has in the past , he did't look normal at A-1 and now he is hurt but still something doesn't look right! The Suzukis look alot faster and look like their handling better, Dungey flew by Hill down the starting area with no problem. L/M may need to get their bikes working better, who knows?
Chad is a dirty rider,a cry baby, and makes excuse after excuse. Now hes a has been. Lets hope he goes home. Blaming the AMA tracks for dnf's 2 weeks in a row ! He is bad for the sport, Go home !!!
The reason Stroupe is riding a 450 is to keep Suzukis outside sponsors happy. Although Stroupe had a hard time keeping that 450 in control off start, he was doing a good job with everthing considered. Reed ran into Stroupe, not the other way around. Reed had a sixth or seventh place start and was riding too agressive to early. Reed was haveing a bad night all together and him not finishing was his own fault. When I hear People say that L/M was useing teamates to slowdown Reed and now Suzuki too, thats rediculous. The only time Reed wins at the 450 level is when the big guns crash or are injured. Reed needs to quit makeing excuises and ride better than everyone else if he wants to win a true championship. With all the talent this year I think alot of questions wil be answered by the end of the season. Can't wait!
I'm a big Ryan Morais fan! I was worried that going to a smaller team would slow him down but he looked better than ever at A-1. I think that he is as fast as anyone and once he makes it on top of the podium that alot more wins will soon follow. Can't wait to see what happens! Good luck Ryan!!!
51q- I saw the segment where they said Reed seems to win when his toughest opponents are injured, that is so true! I used to be a Reed fan because he is great rider, very smooth and consistant but I am sick of his excuses and whining every time he doesn't win. At Salt Lake Stewarts teamate didn't slow him down at all yet two laps before he cleaned out Stewart when he passed him back then after the race he accused Stewart of planning that deal which was rediculous! Stewart has never needed to cheat to beat anyone. Then Reed goes to Veagas and stocks Stewart and purpposly tries to crash him out the race. Then Reed said Stewart should be happy about how good Reed was about the whole deal. The AMA should have fined and DQ 'd Reed. Now everytime he doesn't win its because of his stomach? Untill Reed can man up and say I got beat because the other riders were faster than I was today I'm not a fan of his. I think this season is going to be a reality check for Reed, we will just have to wait and see!!
