Dungey congratulating Team Kawasaki on their championship and mentioning how fun it was to race Villopoto was pure class! I really like that kid and hope he does well for many seasons to come...

takes a lot to do that after losing the #1 plate but both rode hard and it was great to watch!

Congrats to both on a great effort. I guess the rest of the world better watch out at Des Nations!

While I'm sure that RV shares the sentiment, I hate that he didn't acknowledge Dungey on the podium after the race. That was an epic battle to the finish. He should have, at least, thanked the Suzuki for running out of gas, or not starting at Southwick.

Seriously, RV came back from some serious sh*t, this year and won both titles this year. Kudos to him, his team, and his family.

RV is a cocky prick. RD has class.

Not a huge RD fan but I was very impressed with his post race interview. I really appreciate when 2 competitors can fight for the same goal that hard, but admit defeat and credit their competitor. What a season.

Dungey is a class act for sure. This was the best MX season in years!

These two kinda remind me of the Marty Smith vs Bod Hannah rivalry...neither one is as extreme as their predicesors but the quiet vs loud....cocky vs confident attitudes are similar. I loved both those guys back then and have always liked RD and RV. For me...guts and fortitude trump perception. Results in the end are the true yard stick and luck (good and bad) play their part also. Congrats to both. One hell of an outdoors brothers....yeeehaawww.

RD really stepped up to the plate with the defense of his plates this year. If a few things changed, he would be in the #1 position. RV also was very impressive this year (obviously), both guys will go down as some of the best ever in my opinion. really fun watching them today at Pala. I always can't believe how fast the riders go in person. Congrats to both.

Agree - Dungey made it happen this year and worked through the adversity. He was able to come back and get very close but just could not make up all the points over the last three races. Great attitude after Poto won the championship too.

Congrats to Villapoto, he hauled ass and deserves the title.

Great season. It is going to be a long 4 months unitl A1.

He is really cocky, but I have seen him have class, but Dungey to me has a lot of class. He seems like a really good guy. Both do honestly. If you just took the number 1 plate from a guy in both SX/MX, wouldn't you be a tad bit cocky too though? I am glad to see him win. As long as it isn't Reed, I don't care who wins. Just never been a fan of him
