Now what?

What's next for RD? Does he just come to terms with himself that he will never "beat" RV and just settle for being second best? Or perhaps does he change up what he is doing and just take it to another level? He is hands an fists better than everyone else and he can just continue to do what he is doing and he basically has 2nd locked up every year and may win a plate when RV is hurt. I'm not sure if there is any rock he has left to turn over or perhaps this is as good as it is going to get for him. No doubt he can make small gains here and there but so does everyone else so it won't really help in the races. I guess I'm just bitter being that Im a huge Dungey fan and it sucks seeing your rider get beat by the same guy each week, series and year.
