Agreed. Ryan can't be mad at anyone but himself. It's been a great series of clean, relatively close racing. RedBud was the statement by Ken that Ryan is probably most upset about.

RD doesn't get mad at all. I think that's his problem. Watch his post race interviews. He's Mr. happy face. We've all seen lots of others that let it show when they aren't happy with their races. I think he needs to quit saying "we" and put it all back on himself.
Also, his time may have passed. There is always some young gun coming up. Tomac, Trey and Roczen are showing it this year. Who will it be next year?
To say "his time may have passed" is just idiocy. Dunge will be around, winning races and battling for championships for years to come. He's like Chad Reed in that regard - not always on top, but ALWAYS there. We'll see Dungey for lots more years.

Stamp that.

RD needs to start going 1-1. This thing is half over. If he can put a few dominant rides in, he can rattle ken, which is the only was to get back into it. Kenny losing some oonfidrnce would be just what Eli and trey need to get in there, which is what dungey needs.

he told the truth. what's the big deal?

thing i'm most concerned with is....if he's unhappy with his bike/team and crushing like this- what is going to happen when he gets on a ride he feels 100% confident in? jesus christ- to think that he has another level in him should be very worrisome to the competition.

It's definitely the truth, tho Kenny is doing more than just passing people quickly. He's riding a bike like we all wish we could. Dungey is sitting down and smashing everything and it's just a tiny bit slower and probably a lot more work.
What the fuck are you talking about - I would love to ride a bike like anyone in the top 20. Hell LL B class. Wink

KROC's strength is consistency (consistency the fastest rider in the class). His lap times have less std than all other riders. He is CONSISTENT.

It's absolutely the truth, but you don't usually hear riders on the same team say things like that about each other. I know Kenny's probably miffed that Dungey is still top dog at team KTM (when he's doing the winning), and we all know he's jumping ship for 2015...but it sure comes off a bit arrogant for a guy who isn't known for that kind of thing.

Im sure hes not pleased.. I remember Watson saying on the pulp show a few weeks ago that after a moto win for roczen he walked by the ktm rig & pretty much everyone with an orange shirt was all over dunge trying to see what he thought/needed i guess & roczen just sitting there by himself.. Matthes also commented several times on how it has been known in the past that when Rog is done with you he is done with you then & there..
Seems to me that too much is being made of the "top dog" position. The reality is that KTM benefits regardless of which rider wins the series. I feel confident that a professional team would not slight one rider over the other in these circumstances. As for Roczen's comment, it's the truth and nothing malicious. Why would Dungey be offended by a simple statement of fact.

You didn't hear GL and RV (or see it for yourself) talking about Kenny standing up, not reving the shit out of the bike, hopping bumps, connecting smooth lines etc... As opposed to Dungey, who, again, as talked about on the broadcast, sits downs a lot and bashes into shit.

Surely you can see that from watching them ride, look how unsettled Dungey often looks in and out of corners compared to Kenny... if not then it's been talked about multiple times. Do you watch with the sound off?

Seems like Dungey is crashing more than Roczen and Canard. I'll watch Moto 1 and listen to RV's analysis - I saw Moto 2

Just telling it who it is! Not arrogant at all.

He's fast boys and girls even RV would have his hands full......Cool

Awesome shot and Ken is definitely the man to beat right now. About halfway through each moto when he got a fairly comfy lead and was visibly in his groove he would huck the double after the turn at the bottom of the ski jump with his left leg hanging way out off the footpeg while sailing through the air. He definitely looked damn good!

If Dungey doesn't like it, it's 100% in his control to change it. Kenny speaks the truth, he knows that, we know that, the Man knows that. It's up to RD to prove everyone wrong.
