Roger could well have hit the nail squarely on the head,sometimes you can keep altering,changing and adjusting things,trying to Chase the best set-up,when at the end of the day you're better off concentrating on yourself
Some days you just plainly get beat
They needed 4 more passes to win the overall. RD gained 0 and ended 7th, JB gained 1 pos and ended 11th.
So i think its fair too say that the competition in this field of awsome riders from around the world was stronger than both i as an euro and most US expected. Looking forward to 2014 and MXON in Lativa.

Today 's race showed this again with kenny and eli running away from the field in moto 2
the track favored the 250f, more nimble,easier to turn etc, Ferris running up front on the yami 250 as well
And to say roczen isn't confortable on a KTM is just plain silly.
The reason you lost is because Tomac crashed out of third place which meant you couldn't afford the bad luck that Barcia encountered in the last race. Tomac was riding incredibly well but he was probably pushing a little bit harder than he really needed to - not saying that he was wrong for doing so, he's a racer obviously and he was trying hard to pass Roczen, but that self induced mistake is ultimately what cost Team USA in the end.
Dungey either doesn't have his heart in this race or just can't perform under pressure when he is the leader of the team. He knew what he had to do in the last moto the last two years and just couldn't get it done. He knew going into the last two years of this race that he had to lead this team like he did in 2010. He had a fifth place start and went backwards. He was terrible by his standards the last two years. In 2011, he was fine when he had Villopoto there with him. In 2010, he was fine when he was comfortable on his own soil. In 2009, he was fine when the expectations were lower. Maybe he isn't comfortable laying it on the line just for the pride of his country. If that's the case then we need to find a replacement. Barcia's rides the last two years have shown me he truly cares about this race and wants that trophy more than anything. Assuming Villopoto is healthy next season I say Barcia keeps his MX3 spot.
This is all a matter of opinion of course and I'm a huge Dungey fan as anyone on this forum knows. However, you can't blame someone for at least questioning what the problem is after his last two MXoN performances.
Pit Row
Eli crashed putting in a superhuman effort, and did it again to salvage a 16th.
BamBam crashed but then put in a massive effort from maybe 35th to 11th or whatever.
Dungey had no such luck and just stunk it up.
It's not like the USA lost by 20 points. He could have gone a mediocre for him 4-4 and they woulda won!
I know that nobody wants to hear this but: perhaps there are some human beings in other parts of the world who are faster than some human beings in this part of the world? But that can't be. We are the best. Maybe not!!!!
As for Dunge not being able to adapt to the german track....That dirt looked no different than the East coast outdoor dirt of Steel City or High Point. Super rough, soft. Anyone else think that or do I have the blinders on???
Maybe you've forgotten about previous MXdN's or when Desalle and Stribos raced in the nationals?
Dungey, for whatever reason, was off.
Not suprising to me that Kenny and Eli adapted best out of the US based guys... Lites bikes, Euro background and Eli is really good when the tracks are dirty.
Post a reply to: Dungey WTF?
