funny thing is, i was txt'ing back and forth with Gibby late last night and before i signed off i told him that we would probably wake up tomorrow morning with a PR from Christy (the KTM PR gal) Well, i cant freakin sleep and just got the PR.

I would like to thank insomnia for getting me out of the gate and banging a killer holeshot Cool

Anyone betting Dungey won't win on a KTM (at least outdoors) is crazy! Laughing

Agreed. In addition, I believe the KTM is better suited to taller riders such as Dungey.

The man is a champion. I think he is going to do well on the Katoom. RD and HB2 will duke it out all next season.

I think it's a pretty safe bet now that they'll at least get their first 450 SX podium..

Simple math why this happened.
1. Roger is there who help define him.
2. Suzuki wasn't able to compensate him over the last 3 years they way he should have been compensated.
3. KTM and Red Bull opened up the check book and paid top dollar.
4. He was never a fan of Rockstar and RB fits his image way more.

There are other reasons but that is te just of it. It really is that simple. No rocket science needed.

Yeah, too bad I`m a Stewart fan, I`d be rooting for him and I really hope they all do good.
