coming back to Tallahassee and going all Rocky Balboa from now to A1. I don't consider myself a fanboy, but I admire his work ethic and how he handles himself. I can see him using today as motivation to take himself to a whole another level next year. I bet he rides with a chip on his shoulder next year. It'll be interesting to see how he responds.

I agree. His results were horrible according to his standards. Was carrying the whole weight of the country on his back and flat got embarrassed. Burns my ass so I bet he's livid with himself.

Well he"s got to work on SX, but a little "European Vacation" certainly couldn't hurt.

I bet he puts this race behind him and moves on. Its pretty obvious the conditions were extreme and I would think that he understands that and wont ruminate too much.

But he'll remember this race quite well next September when all the hype starts again.

he'll not be embarrassed one bit, he will be pissed off with himself though (although he shouldn't be) , his standards are set way higher than his results today.

Chad Reed based his self in Belgium before he went the US because it was the 'world mx epicenter'. GP racers base there because it is the home of motocross and to train in deep sand during the winter gives so much towards the coming season. The way it has been for years is to master the sand so it gives the foundation to master any type of going.

There was a rumour circulating a while back that YS had agreed to ditch the green netting after it kept getting caught in rear wheels (and causing DNFs). If true, I'm not sure why the new 'policy' hasn't been implemented to date*.

*conspiracy theorists, feel free to avoid commenting that keeping it for the MXdN was an anti-US tactic perpetrated by dastardly Europeans...

The green track lining net is there for a reason and it performs it's purpose extremely well, it's not going any where soon, stay on the assigned designated track layout which is inspected and OK'd by the riders safety delegates or face having a wad of green melting netting hindering your progress after your off track excursion..

I was disappointed in his racing, and personally, if I were him, I would go over there and ride for a week right after the MEC. Not sure if it was the bike or he was just timid, he looked the worst of the 3 guys to me. Looked like he was taking it a little too easy.

I wouldnt be too disappointed I mean look at how these other guys have done the last few years, they've had bad MXoN too, just live and learn. If I were any AMA rider I would go over there for a week, I will admit that is a mans track. Herlings and AC made us look like boys today.

I apologize, it was those other 2 that got to have a 1 lap shorter race, I really wasn't watching Dungey that often as I was watching the front runners, I guess you could make a case for Dungey at least saving face.

Team USA was there training and dialing in for 10 days before the race, how much time do you need?

Curious why they don't have access points regularly in that green fencing.

think he could get back the spot he went out
Henry, I was up in the Pit Lane when this happened and it looked like the signage popped back up when his bike rolled off of it so he couldn't u-turn back on to the track. All he did was ride around the inside of the 180 deg sweeping corner and hopped back onto the track. There's no 'couple of corners' about this incident, it was half of one turn.

The "signage" has nothing to do with his exit point off the assigned course. Once you cross the approved designated course perimeter you are to re enter at the point of departure, the "signage" ended a few feet ahead of him and was not hindering a path back to his point of departure.

Hey Barney, you're really working hard on that post count. Why don't you go fuck yourself and stop acting like you know what the hell you're talking about concerning the fencing and what Dungey should have done.. Please, just go away and be stupid somewhere else.

They had no problem DQ'ing Barcia on Saturday, so, if Youthstream believes Dungey violated the rule, I imagine they wouldn't having an issue with DQ'ing him., it's not like they're taking the Chamberlain Trophy away from Team USA if they do... Germany did that all by themselves. Take it up with Youthstream if they don't give you guys want you want.

I wondered why he didn't just bust a 180 and get back on the track?

Dungey couldn't re-enter there as the boards popped back up
I think it's a stupid rule anyway, he already lost a couple of positions so what's the big deal

I think it would be awesome if the us guys came over to holland or Belgium to train
And the gp guys go states-side to train

I don't think he was taking it easy, but to me it appeared he struggled the most out of your boys to adapt to Lommel's sand. He just looked plain uncomfortable and didn't demonstrate any confidence whatsoever.

Barcia however, he was fucking dynamite for having never raced there before. Sure he was crashing into berms, into waist deep holes etc while Tony, Ken, Herlings et al were gliding atop the sand, but man he was still flying.
