In my opinion, the 2011 outdoor DNF argument is more valid than Villos 2010 SX DNF argument, simply because there were more unknown variables in the 2010 SX season and Villopoto was behind Dungey all year in points.

Me, I don't actually think Dungey's waiting for RV to crash. I don't think he enjoys all the talk for the last three years, all the shit that's written in forums like this one by people like me and you (not to mention people who actually know what they're talking about). I don't think he took a deep breath after outdoors, where he finished behind Villopoto 18 times, and said, "OK, it didn't work this season, or in supercross. Or even once out of the six opportunities in the last 3 years (against RV). But it'll work this time!"
You can be really fast and wild, like Stewart. You can be really fast and in control, like Dungey. Neither of them have even been runner-up indoors the last 3 years. But to be all three? Well, there's only one Villopoto.
Just like there was only one Carmichael.
But Brayton? Come on!
Yes, RD looked poor in the whoops. Yes, he'd probably be slightly better on a Suzuki. No, it wouldn't amount to much.
Dungey, outdoors: 6 moto wins in 2011 (should've been 7), 5 in 2013 (could've been 6). Not terribly incriminating if you're Dungey's motorcycle.
As far as 2011 supercross is concerned, if we're talking what-ifs, then, like I said, the thing was Reed's all the way.
Hold off Dungey for 1st at StL
gotten 3rd at Seattle to Dungey's 5th (remember Dungey fell)
gotten 4th at SLC to Dungey's 5th (Dungey was lapped by Windham)
and won Vegas with RD in 2nd, he would've tied Dungey in points and won the championship with the tie-breaker.
...that's at least one scenario. If he could only manage 2nd to Dungey at Vegas, then he'd need to do better at the previous two rounds. haha
It's an "If," but not an unbelievably big one, since rv was the more experienced and had the momentum.
"Gotta to talk about Dungey and ask everyone this question… How can RD, who started in second behind Brayton, stay 20 laps behind him without making a move? I didn't understand that part of the race..."
Pit Row
Although, if Dungey were on any other bike I dont think he would have to worry about Barcia too much to be honest. If I were Dungey, honestly I would get out of KTM the bike just doesnt ride like that Suzuki did and we can all see it, just like malachi said.
My take on it is that Brayton was really fast that night. Why discredit Brayton here? He kept up with Ryan Villopoto so it's not like he was just loafing around the track.
DV is an experienced racer and smart man, you, apparently, are not, or are just blinded by RD's hairy beanbag.
Not as fun to watch.
Dungey's game in championships is play it relatively safe up until mid season and then start risking more if need be. Its the smartest strategy and it would work if he were at Kawi where a bike never comes close to failing.
How about that bullshit airshock ktm laugh fest last year, cruising around like a lowrider. Never see that type of shit at Kawi. And Ryan was sabotaged at Suzuki in 2011.
How about all the idiots claiming Barcia would mop the floor with Dungey when he moved up to 450? Where are those clowns now? JB is no match for RD. JS has been a laughing stock the last few years as well, as has Reed, compared to their previous success.
Season is a LONG way from over Dungey could easily win another championship lets just see. And it would be fitting if it happened this year with the "most stacked field ever" even though they say that shit every year per the hype machine.
Kenny won on a KTM with an airshock laughfest... nice try though!
And about DeCoster, hes kinda turned into an old fart wind bag, sure he was great 100 years ago when jumps or suspension werent invented yet, but I think his broken english doesnt come accross very well sometimes when hes talking crap about his rider when he should be defending him.
And would someone please give firecrotch a pot 'o' gold and rainbows so he can cheer up. Even after he wins the look on his face is as if his dog just died...
Who sabotaged Ryan at Suzuki?
Overall the rds have worked fine at KTM but im sure they are a notch back from where they were at suzuki on top of their game. plus a yellow bike just plain looks better. get rid of that damn orange. ktm would be better white. Vanilla just like Dungey.
