I remember Pourcel in a mud in Brasil GP in 2012. He beat second place by 1 minute 30 seconds. Lapped up to 8th place. Almost lapped Cairoli and lapped Desalle twice.
This.

I expect Marvin to be good as well, he has great throttle control which is crucial when it's muddy. Love a good mud race as it always shakes up the field.

The only problem is that it's been raining for the past month and TV doesn't dry quickly.

Yes thats the thing about Colorado, there is no way of predicting 5 even 2 days out. Colorado has a way of changing the complete cast 12 hrs out.

I remember last year it called for heavy rain starting around 1:00... got a little more cloudy but then the sun came out.

Check out GuyB's picks of last year...Overcast then shine 2014

Mud is afraid of Weston Peick, it will get out of his way like Moses parting the sea.

While I agree that ride was badass, it was a very different track. You have traction for days in the sand when it's raining.

Dungey had a bad start and hit some obstacles in Indiana and I don't think that ride was typical of what to expect from Dungey on the regular in sloppy conditions. Just needs to get that start figured out better.
This.

And from a Texan who has probably never ridden Southwick.

I grew up in MA and on Southwick. COMPLETELY different there in the wet.

My measure for Dungey is him blowing the championship against Kenny on the same muddy track. Wasnt even close.

It's been getting nicer here, yesterday was beautiful then more rain. The grass/dirt near my office in Lakewood is so saturated, I don't think it will dry out unless they bring in mulch/saw dust etc the day of and work it in.

The way Colorado is these days it could also be 20 and 68% chance of rain.
