It's hard to believe that after Dungey calls it a career, his numbers might look better than RVs!
RC 150
JS 98
MC 89
RV 72
BH 64
RJ 61
RD 58
JW 56

It puts him right under MC in all time wins and above RV (although I think to be fair you've got to count RVs wins this year in MXGP)

But still, that argument is getting old. James, although exciting to see on the track, hasn't been consistent enough to be a title threat in 3-4 years. Dungey was beating Roczen before Roczen crashed himself out multiple times this season. He typically starts very strong, then struggles in the mid season. No different this season, even before the crashes started accumulating. Reed old? Reed DID win two races last year against RV, Bubba, Dungey, Canard, Roczen, etc. Now all of a sudden he's too old to be considered a real competitor? Right. RV is just about the only rider that I think made a huge difference with being absent this season, but with the way Dungey's riding right now I truly think it would be a closer series than most think. Dungey has been on the podium every single race since rd. 2, and finished 4th at rd. 1. Canard consistently demonstrated that he had the speed to beat Dungey, yet hadn't been able to put it all together like Dungey on a regular basis, prior to wrecking himself again.
When will people see Dungey for what he is? A fast and lethally consistent competitor, that has already proven this by winning multiple championships. Just look at his win record. You don't "luck" into that many wins and championships. The dude is a genuine bad ass.
Until then, you boys better head on down to the Burger King and catch up with your hero. Lots of work to be done...
People get hurt. Dungey couldn't hold Ricky Johnsons jock strap but Johnson got hurt and his juggernaut of winning came to a quick end. Same story with Hannah and lots of other great riders. Top guys get hurt every year and lots of times it has nothing to do with their skill, just bad luck. They come back but they are never the same.
Is it possible Dungey makes it through unhurt and he keeps winning? Sure, he's great. Is it likely? Hell no, he's got looooooooong odds stacked against him.
This one must charge!
If everyone else keeps crashing out he could rack up a ton of wins at the end of the season for a lot of years.
