Is anybody else surprised even a little that Dungey did as well as he did yesterday? I'm a fan, but I just never thought of RD being somebody that would run that hard against Stewart. Roczen, maybe. But, Dungey? I have to say, I'm impressed.

I'm very impressed. He gave Stewart a very good run. They were both pushing the pace so much. Can't wait for SX16

Especially considering he's not a sprinter. The Stewarts are total sprinters, that's their thing. RD is a marathon guy and for him to do that, was VERY impressive.

Very Impressed, To be honest I was nervous for him to run that event. I, like many thought this wouldn't be his deal. He proved me wrong and I think with his work ethic he was pissed after and is going to work on whatever it takes to be the best at it.
IMO, would have taken KR down......

Ryan Dungey IS the stuff champions are made of period! He's a champion.. He's Thee champion. He's the best all around America motocrosser right now..period! He's also ending his period of being in his prime, so maybe one more year, possibly two and then he'll proly start slowing down a little. But I believe he's so consistan and fast enough that he could afford to slow down a little and still be a very real threat for championship contention in the next three to four years.. He looks better and more aggressive and more in control now than he's ever looked.. 2016 is gonna be good..

Dungey was right in there, his scrub is fine but he clips the downside of jumps more then the other two. Dung wins if the track was 3 times as long. He will also win the SX title again next year

Over the last coupl'a seasons, RD has learned to NOT let others get away from him at the "drop of the gate" or during the 1st minutes of a race. This has really shown in his SX racing.

So, to say his intensity at the start isn't on par with the other Fastest Guys seems like a very "2012" kind of thing.

For me, the best racing was JS v RD or the earliest rounds with Shorty and Deano showing their cards.

Second and third are a bit of a misnomer since Roczen and Dungey did not face each other. What Dungey did do, that Roczen did not do, was to beat Stewart in one his runs. Dungey's ride was impressive because he's not known for a sprinter but showed yesterday that if the conditions call for it, he can sprint with the best of them.

True, no iffs and buts...including the (IF RV or Stew were there he wouldn't have won if).. That's a big IF, but #5 won the championships.. those are the results. End of story.. That being said James Stewart is the fmotp.. he's awesome. He races like I daydream about myself racing. His natural speed is in the realm of unobtainable fantasy by ALL men. His speed is the stuff of myth.. the stuff of legend.. The stuff of pure inspiration..Yes. he's that fast.. yeah I'm a big Stewart fan, and I hope he wins big time in 16..

Yea, what you said. The stuff of legends!

What's impressive about Stewie's performance was that he hasn't raced in 16 months, wasn't in shape and still dominated. That's gotta get into Dungey's head leading in the SX season as #7 will be in better shape.

Separately, I keep hearing the new KTM's are game-changers, but I just didn't see it yesterday. Suzuki's old-school build seems to still be working just fine.

Exactly, he is a multi time mx/sx champion that puts himself in a position to not only win races but is smart enough and fast enough to win championships. He doesn't get banned for cheating he doesn't get DQed for dirty riding, his family is not a embarrassment to the sport,he doesn't hide from the fans or the media, he just goes out and preforms week in and week out with out all the flash and drama of some of the other circus clowns, we should all be so lucky.

Why would anyone be impressed by Dungeys performance? He is a multi time champion and current reigning champion of both genres of moto. He is supposed to be in the finals, he is supposed to be as fast or faster than the competition.

Asking if anyone was impressed with his performance is admitting he isnt as skilled in every aspect as others are.

Impressed? No. He did what he was EXPECTED to do. Make it to the finals and give one hell of an effort. He didnt win, but he let James know, he is going to be there until the finish. As he is supposed to do.

Did Stew dominate? No.

Dungey was a big suprise, and i think that if someone is going to see nightmares because that event, its going to be JS7.

No disrespect to Dungey or Stewart, but Dungey is the total package (fast, consistent, smart, a true class act and a real man). And is more than capable of preventing James or anyone else from taking the championship...any championship.

James on the other hand is the fastest motocross racer the world has ever seen...ever. His pure speed, form, and style are what all motocross racer...including the likes of Dungey and all other top pros wish they could imulate. Without the world class wipeouts of course.

Just as RJ came in and stepped up the game over the other 80's mxer's
Just as MC came in and changed the sport forever with amazing numbers that will proly never be achieved again.
Just like RC took all that away from the King and went on to become the winning'st rider in motocross history with numbers of his own that will proly never be duplicated.
So will the next phenom of mx become the next phenom. Let's be glad we have our living legends like RD, JS, CR, And a nice long list of top. elite mx athletes we have today.
I don't think we'll ever see the perfect mx'r with the speed of JS. the consistency or class of RD, the stamina, commitment and numbers of RC, and the brilliance, longevity, tecknique, and sport changing dominance of MC... THAT WOULD NO DOUT BE THE BEST OF THE BEST....

Stewart will be a threat to win races, he always has been. Over a 17 race series, I highly doubt Dungey is worried about Stewart. Stewart has not beat Dungey in a single series since they've raced together. Dungey will view Tomac and Roczen as his main competition.

RC had JS coverd in motocross, but just barely. But JS had RC covered in SX by a much bigger margin. Or I should say Stewie was much faster in SX. Not more consistent just faster. I'm a much bigger fan of RC than JS but facts are facts.. Ricky is as close to the perfect motocrosser as the sport has ever gotten, but Stewart is the fastest racer ever. When he is on. No one compares..no one.

You may be on point...but you'd be foolish not to think that RD isn't doing any extra before this season starts knowing that he has a healed & ready Roczen, as well a nicely rested & ready James Stewart lining up at A1.
