With Kenny out and IF Ryan can close out 2017 with SX and MX championships, does he retire as some have speculated after this season?
Now, I am not handing any crown to Ryan and I'm not discounting anyone else (Eli, Marvin, Jason, etc.), but does he go out on top similar to the way Ricky and RV did if he can manage both championships this season?
Is there anything else Ryan needs to prove and would he be willing to keep putting in the work for another run in 2018?

This sport is broke ass for the risk involved.

I've never heard of either of these guys. Ever.
Clayton Kershaw will make a league-leading $32,571,000 in 2014. (USATSI)
Miguel Cabrera's average annual salary will be $31 million starting in 2016. (USATSI)
I could also see Dungey doing SX only for 2018. Then full retirement for 2019.
I think either way Eli goes to KTM. Unless someone else really steps it up and surpasses Eli as most capable rider on a level like KRoc. Perhaps when Dungey retires they bring Herlings over?
I think Canard will be gone from KTM whenever his contract expires so you will essentially have Dungey and Canard off he books so plenty of money for KTM to make a big splash signing.
This is the break down of 32 million a year.

He's over it does not want to end up dead or paralysed. Tracks and bikes keep evolving and go faster and faster there is a certain point that you cant handle it anymore and Dungey is close very close to that point.
And who can blame him he got nothing to prove anymore the dude has been at the top of the sport long enough and has been healthy for the bigger part of his career and he can end it on a high note. He'll stick around as a brand ambassador in the beginning and he will learn how too be manager from the man himself and become KTM's new team manager at a certain stage of his life.
If I was a betting man, I'd bet this outdoor season is his last ever as a professional rider.

I always thought it best to retire from racing at the top of your game and while you are still healthy.

Don't appreciate there is a world outside the USA.
USA haven't won a world championship in MX for god knows how long, and you don't even care.
Pretty sad isn't it.
If you think RV went as a sign of national pride you're kidding yourself. He went to appease Kawasaki and Monster and the first chance he had to get out of there he did. He was over it and contractually had to give them something for 1 more year. A crash and an injury bit him and he signed off for the year with no second thoughts about defending his nations honour, and rightly so.
If RD retires next year it will be well deserved and he will be a top 5 all time guy who was a class act till the very end.
i'm not saying that the GPs have inferior riders.... not by any stretch... it is just that as a series, it doesn't seem to be considered quite at the same level of notoriety. i think it is safe to say that many many people from around the world tune into to american supercross and the nationals and a good less follow the GPs with the same intensity..... look how the powers that be in the FIM got so excited at how much interest was generated in the GPs when Villo went to race.... then how the interest somewhat fizzled when he got hurt. it is just a fact that there is more interest, fame and money to those involved with SX and American motocross.... and until that changes, i can't imagine very many top guys from the US wanting to leave their families, friends and homes to go race a series that traditionally offers less.... especially when considering retirement. Villo only went because there was big money involved... we know his heart wasn't in it as much as when he was here.
roczen and musquin are here for a reason, the same reason gajser wants to be here. until, things change and the GPs surpass SX and the nationals, i don't imagine we will see many top americans heading over.
