Love a mudder at least once a year,it sorts a lot of riders out,it's part of Motocross and adds another skill aspect to the series

Just like Southwick was when it was on the calendar

Everyone is on the same track, mud, dry, snow, ect... it all comes down to fate sometimes. It ain't over till its over, ever, both will show up and one will win. Ask Langston in 01, Pourcel in 11,(10 maybe) you have to finish, and in Langston's case, a wheel falling apart was not up to him. Things change in a second and Roczen, from what I've seen he has really struggled under pressure, but he doesn't break. Its been a good outdoor season though.
Nail hit squarely on the head. Great post. BTW it was Pala's first year where CP377 lost the championship as that was the only year I went.

At Steel City in 2000 it was in the closing laps of the last 125 moto of the day and TP199 was about to the take the championship and in the process deliver a crushing blow to both Roncada's/Troy Racing title hopes snatching the title I think by 2 points. Point being with two laps or so to go I saw someone walk up to Decoster and reach for his hand to congratulate him on the 125 title and RD pulled his hand back like the guy had leprosy.

It ain't over til the weight challenged female exercises her vocal cords and RD wasn't about to shake anyone's hand until Travis Pastrana finish the race with the title in hand.

Exactly my thoughts too. It's like having a joker card in the deck. I enjoyed seeing those guys ride like me for a weekend. Their mud times were right there with my perfectly groomed, dry track times.

Seriously tho, I did enjoy seeing all of the saves and the absolute skills those dudes have. To keep it upright in those conditions was amazing.

I wonder if Roczen is consistently faster than Dungey in those conditions, seems most Euro riders do better in muddy conditions. Just an observation.

Real men haul ass much faster on dry tracks because it takes more balls to go faster on a dry track.

I agree this weekend was a huge disappointment Not only did that gorgeous track get ruined but now the season is basically over and it couldn't of come to a less dramatic end.. Fck Utah and that joke of a track. Bring on MXDN and SX.
Did all you guys cry when the next to last round of SX in Seattle was a mudder too?

No I agree it does change things up but to say it ruins a championship IMHO is incorrect. Everyone has to ride the same track is all I'm saying. Kroc just rose to the occasion better than dungey this weekend.
It's not that it ruins the championship, it's that it ruined the championship battle we could have had. No ones saying put an asterisk by the championship. Now maybe in the dry roczen would've came out and been nothing like the last month, but chances are he would've had to hope Dungey was beaten by canard and Tomac. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather have seen roczen and Dungey dueling for the championship in the motos at Utah than watching a mud race. It would've been great for the sport.

If Dungey came out with the red plate I guarantee most of you guys would be saying this was the best race of the year. Grow up, just because a German rookie is more than likely going to take an American title it's not the end of the world.

Kenny has proven he is the number one rider all season long, get over it. Christ.

Roczen has gotten it done more often thatn Dungey, so he's winning the championship. That's the beauty of motocross - it's simple. The gate drops 24 times and the best man wins. There's nothing to be gutted over.

Spot on.

Want to watch a sport where rain and wet conditions are not part of the fixture, stick to Nascar and Indy car, want to watch a sport where riders race all conditions and need the skills to race all conditions, watch Motocross.

Great championship to-date. Still two more motos and 50 points on the line, it aint over yet and the best rider for the 2014 Lucas Oils Pro Motocross Championship in the 450 class will walk away with the title next weekend.

Roczen has simply done better all year, he has not only been quicker but more consistent, not easy to beat Dungey at his own game but there you go.

There are 2 motos left so its still open, personally I hope Roczen takes a safe top ten in moto 1 to tie up the title and rapes the shit out of it in moto 2.

So "balls" win championships? Dude, I think X-fighters replay is on right now, if you don't have to go to school this morning, you might want to check that out. More your style.

News flash: Motocross races are held in a wide variety of conditions, and you have to be prepared to go fast in ALL of them. Look, I like Dungey, but Roczen handed him his ass Saturday. Period.

I think Implicate order is just a little upset about Dungey losing so much ground to Roczen.

All year huh? Please explain his meltdown since Dungey beat him at Budds Creek. Please include Washougal and Unadilla in your expert analysis. Before the mudder on Saturday, virtually everything I read or heard had Dungey as the favorite to win the championship because Roczen was falling apart, much like he did last year and Dungey was going for the kill.

You made the statement that Roczen had done better "all year." You are wrong and blatantly ignoring the meltdown that Roczen has been having since Budds Creek. That is why you are unable to address my comments above. You and your little noob sidekick Spydee.

It's not surprising really.

A true champion can win no matter what the track conditions if that was villo instead of dungey out there he would have found a way. This is offroad racing and riding in mud is part of the game.

What is not surprising is that you grab hold of 2 words and focus on them, while the rest of the educated world read the phrase and draw from it the only logical explanation.

I can give you two additional words to focus on if you like.

Why you have to turn my initial post that praised the consistent record of RD into an argument truly does speak volumes, there are still 2 motos left but IF 94 takes the title I will be more than happy to rub your face in it to assist in your personal development.

i guess if Roczen had a meltdown last 3 rounds, Dungey must have had a meltdown from round 2-7. Regardless of what, Kenny scored the most points over 11 rounds, fair and square, mud or no mud..

Dungey looked crushed after Roczen's 4 wins in a row,but he seems to have a fade every year.The way he rocketed into that first turn last weekend was telling though,he looked up for it!

They've both had their ups and downs,anything could've happenned if it was dry-the points could've come out of Indiana the same

Shame there isn't more variation in the US tracks.

I'm amazed Dungey just tries to ride through everything sat down. Manages to make it work I suppose but looks ugly!
