You mean making sure that Villopoto, Reed, Stewart and Canard are all hurt?

Dungey is a great rider, but he's the last guy standing.

maybe, but imo outdoors he can handle Reed and Canard, and Villo and Stewart are only slightly faster

So DeCoster is making sure those guys are out?

They say you read everything here, maybe your cheese greased fingers have smudged the screen a tad too much.

I disagree, I watched RD5 smoke stewart today. I'm not sure what race you watched, but the one I did reminded me of indoors every year for the past several...James ride over his head, rag doll into the ground, and someone else wins.

It only sucks if Stewart is out. If he can still ride then we'll see more close racing and a great battle for the title.

Again, you're an idiot.

James has been riding exceptionally well, in case you missed it. When a guy pops up in your landing zone off a huge jump, I would imagine that's enough of a distraction to cause a mistake. Too bad he hurt himself cause it's really going to be boring without him too.

this is Rogers second year not first, and i think the devolement in europe by Everts ,and co over the last 5 years has done most of the work , its the first time KTM has a rider in the US who able to win , which is the biggest differents , and i bet Roger would be the first on to say that

Careful buddy, that is dangerous talk there. Almost sounded like name-calling. You're liable to get banned with talk like that. But please do not take offense with anything I may have said. You're a great vital member. You're above average in intelligence. In fact, EVERYONE here is above average.

I also agree with everyone. You are all correct.

This is great. Isn't this great?

You are 100% correct, but without the DeCoster factor I doubt anyone of RD5's calibre would have signed up to the team. With Roger there its now quite possibly the team to be on along with TwoTwo Racing.

aside all the bullshit, Dungey's KTM looks way more dialed in than it did at Hangtown.

It is truly satisfying to see the DeCoster approach to National MX rising to the top spot.

This man has had a major influence on our sport in SIX DECADES!

Dungey is in a position to win this championship because of the wise counsel of DeCoster.
To Dungey's great credit, he spotted the model for true greatness in Decoster, and followed it.

Blistering speed is fleeting and not the strongest foundation to build upon.

Competence, commitment, loyalty, drive, determination,endurance are the principal things.

I'm a huge Decoster fan from way way back, however....

That's a huge simplification as to why KTM is successful in the 450's this year.

The company has been building, has had success in the 250's and HUGE success in Europe. It was coming, RD and RD5 have certainly been a big part, but it's a result of the 30+ years of the company working it's ass off.

Guennady Moisseev's titles, John Penton, Pit, Stefan, lots of factors

...it would be safe to say Dungey KTM doesnt look like...well... doesnt look like a KTM out there.
I won KTM's first thumper championship in '94, they've been working hard on their product since the '70's...the icing on the cake is DeCoster taking the helm last year and weeding out a certain father.
My '94 400 was a great package.
