wouldn't surprise me at all, Dungey is good at Lakewood.

i think RV and Kenny make it 2 for 2 again though

It's going to take a slip up from RV, but I'm down for it.

I like it!!! Dungey and Tomac for the overall.

Roczen surprised me at Hangtown really. He didn't fade at the end of the moto at all. I kept waiting for it but it just never happened. Good for him.

I could be completely wrong (wouldnt be the first time either) but I dont think last weekend was a good indicator of where RD is speed wise. I think he is going to be a lot closer to RV the rest of the year. Of course, its not out of the question that RV wins by 20 seconds again too.

If Dugey holeshot's and RV gets a crap start it's definitely possible. I'm not sure Dungey can beat him straight up though.

Shit, anything is possible this year........ Although, unless RV has a bad start I dont see it happening - Dunegy will improve, but I think RV is a few notches up on both Stewart and Dungey..... Dungey started up front and was PUSHING last week to keep up with RV's pace in both motos...He made a lot of mistakes in doing so which he doesnt usually do....Watching Dunegy make mistakes trying to pass Stewart while James rode somewhat conservative and hold off Dungey for 15 minutes while RV cruised behind both of them then passed Stewart with ease and took off to a +20 second lead that second moto must have killed Dungeys confidence..... Sure, Dungey will have his days and win some motos....but the bad luck coin goes both ways...If RV is top 3 in the first few minutes of the race, I am not sure Dungey will pull it off this week.....If RV starts up front and Dungey has to pass Stewart, Canard or Barcia to get up front.....I say even more unlikely

First, crashes aren't part of racing, and now bad starts don't count.Blink

So what is "straight up"? Tied for the hole shot, zero mistakes, and no lappers. right? (in other words, Dreamland)

I thought on the gate together was straight up.

I am excited for this up coming weekend, the first round to me is all about getting the jitters out and seeing where you are as a rider. This weekend I hope will be intense from the beginning, both JS and RD know they can not afford to let RV get momentum because we all know once RV gets on a roll the series will be over.

Hangtown's roughness is out of the ordinary so it's hard to know what to take from the race. But, losing by 20+ seconds is not something to take lightly no matter what the track is.

Unless RV knocks himself out or gets a really bad start, I don't see anyone else winning the motos. I'm an RV fan and I don't like saying that. I want good racing so I hope Dungey, Stewart, Barcia or Canard can prove me wrong!

"dungey will win a moto this weekend..."

Is he racing a 150 against that chick at intermission? Otherwise, I think he'll need some luck to pull it off. Be nice to see a battle to the end though....

I guess we will see, but weren't you the same guy that said Travis Preston could run top five at Hangtown? Kept saying he's showing tremendous speed? Don't get me wrong, I wanted him to do well, and he did the best of all JGR riders, but after that bad call of a top 5, I don't think you should be saying "stamp it".........if you know what I mean.

Yeah youre right, anything goes. I guess watching RV come from behind and pass both Dungey and Sewart, then check out, makes me think Dungey probably cant do the same.

True, but Hangtown is not one of Dungeys tracks...

I'm not a fanboy of any rider, but I'm telling you RD is not just going to roll over. Anyone who writes him off over just one race is crazy, and I can guarantee RV is not writing him off yet. Now, if RV does this 2-3-4 more weekends in a row, yeah, but until then I'd not be too bold about it.

The only thing we can stamp is that round one is over . The next round is just over 48 hours away . Stamp It . I would not be surprised if #5 or #7 win it , but it will be tough .

This exactly. RD has been there till the end of every series they've both completed. Even though he's been on the other side of the winner, he's made it interesting. I just hope RD keeps it up.

I dont buy this " this isnt Dungeys track...or this isnt RV's track" nonsense....these dudes are the best in the biz, if they have a history of bad results, that could have nothing to do with it being " their track".....Hangtown wasnt supposed to be "RV's Track"....but look what happened......the tracks are all ruts, jumps, hills, turns and berms.....So if RV were to do the same at Colorado, which is "Dungeys Track".....will it then become "not dungeys track" ??

I thought an intersting quote Stewart made was intriguing....." I have not shown my true colors...and I doubt the 2 Ryans have either"....so that being said, all 3 of these guys plus a slew of others plan on improving and have more in the tank.....Stewart said he had less time to actually "test at race speed" this year than last year.....so who knows.... I think Dungey and Stewart have more work to do than they think.... Dungey is a tuff kid and we all know what Stewart has done in the past....but what I do see a pattern of is, when Dungey loses and cant challenge...he gets frustrated and makes mistakes.....RV was hauling balls at HT and Dungey looked pretty rattled afterwards....

I'm a big RV fan but it would be great to see Dungey get a win, just to keep the series as interesting as possible. Runaways get very boring.
