Just curious. Seems to me they're putting all their eggs into one basket.

After poaching Dungey away from Suzuki I doubt that there will be enough budget left for a solid rider...What about Shorty?

Been a few years since Dunge got hurt. He seems to have a good track record for injuries.

But if he does get hurt they can bring Tye Simonds back over to represent.

I think the only time Dungey's been injured in the pro ranks was when he done his collarbone in 2008 I believe? In SX, KTM will be well represented in both classes, as it sounds like the plan is to move Roczen and Musquin up onto a 350 on the coast opposite to what they are racing. I guess there's always going to be riders available for fill in slots if Dungey were to get hurt....

you mean another 450 rider ?? cause they have riders, like K-Roc yes ?? why get another 450 rider when you got him. Dungey & K-Roc, that's a solid team right there.

Liam Everts will be Dungey's teammate on the 450

I think whomever is on the opposite coast will ride the 350 so they'll have three riders at every round.

Translation:

1. Robbie Marshall (j/k)

2. They're not going to hire a 2nd rider along-side of Dungey: If he gets hurt they'll have one of their exisiting riders fill in.

3. When Marvin got hurt they didn't bother with a replacement.

4. Same-thing w/ Mike Alessi: He went down/NO replacement-rider.

5. They're a Red Bull Team; and, Red Bull still has James (Red Bull is covered; so, they won't care).

6. KTM STILL makes Two-Strokes; therefore, they have all the answers to the Universe and will survive ANY out-come (Even without RD5 out there making them look good).

7. The following riders could be had for $1.05 if KTM's looking: Hahn, Regal and Top Jimmy.

8. Non of this Matters! If RD5 goes the whole season without a DNF he will conquer the Universe: This is, obviously, how it's gonna go down now that he's on a KTM...they still make 2-Strokes!

Note to Guy B: The ease of translation requires switching back-n-forth between your Orange-lenses and your Red-Blue vodka goggles...it's simple, really. The only modifiers I used were "Inverse-Idiot" and "2-Smoke/Choke"...In Dolby 7 Channel, of-course.

Dear Lord,

Please let this kid grow up and do something that he WANTS to do.

If he wants to race, let him have the fun that a child should and spare him the typical sufferings of a race dad.

Dude you didn't get the joke ... He doesn't has a contract... One day he drives true the paddock on a KTM then on a Suzuki then on a other bike...

He loves riding and biking and he likes hanging with KR94 or do I need to say KR70 and he also likes Ryan Villopoto if I'm right.
So that kid is living the dream he can ride all the bikes he wants and sees all the cool races!!

....maybe some gloves,

....and a pair of goggles?
