Shorty is great at taking the suspension to the next level by giving the feedback the suspension guys need. KTM works together as a team and shares information. Just another piece of the puzzle.

He rides the track and bike more aggressively.

It is nice to see people at least talking about Dungey. Normally when he wins, it is crickets.

Except this week. This week tomac is better because he passed the leader a lap down. So that clearly shows he's faster and better and dungey is just winning due to luck.

Dungey is a lot more confident with RV not on the line. I'm sure there are other factors like the training and bike, but you can't underestimate the power of confidence. With the way RD is riding right now, he and RV would be battling for wins every week. Stewart could get some wins, but he is no longer a title contender.

We all know that Villopoto and Stewart aren't around this year, but from the following choices rank them in order of importance for his improved results...

1. New bike
2. Aldon Baker
3. Less team pressure with Roczen gone
4. Married life works for him (don't laugh, look at Canard too)
5. Better tracks

For starters Dungey is always 2nd to RV, so with RV gone he is where he should be. Not really rocket science.
Always is a long time pal. Go over to you tube and watch the 2008 Davey Coombs East West Shoot out and remind me who Dungey caught from behind. He was on a Kawasaki, can't quite remember his name. The same guy went to the premier class in 2009, but didn't win a championship until 2011. Dungey won it in his first year in 2010. Then the other guy went on a tear and won the SX the next 3 years. Dungey won the MX in 2012. It's OK to look up to your favorite rider, but not at the expense of another great rider. To use an absolute term like always or never when talking about any rider is degrading to all the riders and the sport in general.

For me, it'd be

1) New Bike
2) Roger Decoster / Stefan Everts ( where did the new bike com from Smile )
3) RV not racing, has to relieve pressure.
4) Aldon Baker

But in reality, it's probably a combination of a ton of factors, only a few we know of & he's just riding awesome, great to watch.

Other than rv being out #2, not hard to figure.

That's the upgraded $39.95 phone call to Miss Cleo to get that kind of foresight.

It sure seems that way.

Confidence in the bike, just a better bike, Aldon voodoo, or a combination of several things, whatever it is it's working.

Canard and Seely are really gelling with their Hondas too, as far as that goes Tomac is too when he keeps the rubber side down.

There has been some great rides and with Canard having the ability to come through the pack like he has on several occasions it's been fun to watch. Hopefully they all stay injury free and carry it over to the outdoor series.

Lot of variables. I don't think its that Dungey is much better speed wise. RV is gone, roczen made a mistake and the other guys that are as fast as Dungey can't figure out starts. If canard and Tomac were getting holeshots and Dungey was starting mid pack we'd be talking about how much better they are this year. Roczen had Dungey covered until he messed up at Oakland. Dungey is good at not making mistakes though.

Read the whole post. It IS a lot more than Dungey not making mistakes. In the mains, he's as fast as anyone and less likely to make a mistake than anyone else. Combine that with the fact the guys that can go as fast or maybe faster than him either got hurt or can't get a start which = what we're seeing. There's no weaknesses in his program right now, but I wouldn't say he's just on another level riding wise.

You cunts need to wake the fuck
Up. Dungey is a straight bridesmaid and he always will be.

Only difference I see is
That RV isn't here
Dungey always has been blazing fast indoors and out and way ahead of every one but RV for the past couple seasons ..
And that new bike looks sweet and it looks like he's got that bad boy dialed!!

Something that gets understated here is that Dungey has 100% control over his bike 100% of the time. It kinda goes hand in hand with the not making mistakes comment, but even when RV was here, he would have some panic moments. There has been one instance where I thought Dungey might hit the ground and it was a mild mistake at that. I just find it so odd how Dungey can do this and none of the rest of the field can even come close.

I partly think that Dungey can teach Aldon as much as Aldon can teach Dungey.

I don't get the hypothetical RV situations everyone is throwing out. I agree it's pure speculation.

Should read "Dungey is a straight up BEAST, he always was, and he always will be"

Truth hurts. I don't doubt Dungey would beat Stewart for the SX title this season due to his consistency, but if you think he would be dominating like he is with the #7 in the field...well that's just nonsense.

From the horses mouth...


This is the first time you’ve ever won this many races in a row. Were you aware of that, and what’s got you on this streak? It seems like you’re just knocking these off.

It’s a lot of things. With coming into this year some changes; I’m working with Aldon Baker, which has been helpful. Being able to make the physical and the mental changes that I need to in order to perform. It’s bits and pieces, and I like that. I trust Aldon. I trust his program, and we work good together. That being said, we got a new bike coming into this year. That was hands down, they did a good job building it. And it’s a lot of fun to ride. Therefore, just everything put together and all the hard work coming in and throughout this year and experience, it’s a lot of things that add up. Whether we’re winning back to back more than we ever have or winning more than we ever have, I’ve just been taking it race by race, like I always do. It’s easy to get ahead of yourself and it’s important to pull yourself back and know tonight’s tonight, focus on today, and tomorrow will be tomorrow.

How much involved in this deal is physical side and how much is mental side?
I think bottom line Aldon… First of all, coming in I’ve always tended to do my own thing. I thought Aldon was always great. I loved what he did. I respected him. I thought he was a great trainer always. But I always felt like there was something missing. When you’re doing stuff sometimes you over do it, sometimes that creates doubt in your mind. I think the biggest thing hands-down is just I put that trust and I gave that to Aldon. I trust him and his program and what he has to offer and that’s it. I do the riding and I do the training at 100% and when it’s done, it’s done. So I think there’s a lot more energy and focus going into race day versus spending all that time, “All right, what am I going to do Monday?” On Sunday I’m thinking about what I’m going to do every day of the week where it’s all laid out and I can do it efficiently and not think about it and I trust that.

What's nonsense is you people arguing that a rider who isn't even racing this season can beat another rider...especially one that hasn't been consistent in anything but being inconsistent.
