Only on vital are injuries not valid excuses...

exactly! do you think he's had surgery on his back just for the fun of it?!

he ran dungey close at times in the outdoors, whilst riding injured (still finished 2nd) - part of the sport, honesty in interviews is rare these days. I prefer an honest interview from Kenny than the usual 'monster energy, Dunlop tyres, cant thank anyone enough blah blah blah'

this race is completely meaningless- its nothing more than an exhibition put on by his sponsors, all Kenny cares about is the ama supercross title, and the ama outdoor title!

regarding the 'you don't want to give bubba confidence' type comments, again, its a meaningless straight line mickey mouse race- I don't think Kenny or dungey will be losing any sleep over it, they've both proven they are the main contenders indoors and outdoors the last 2 seasons. James hasn't won a title for years (or even been in contention) - he's fast on his day, but I cant see him ever being competitive over a full season against Kenny/ dungey. He doesn't have the edge he used to have, and is to prone to mistakes/ lack of concentration. Glad to see him out there, but I would be very surprised if he ever won anything again...

Dungey didn't luck into both titles last year guys... He can go as fast as all of them and had ONE practice crash at an event...

That's fucking ridiculous and why he's so hard to beat...

Who cares if Ken beat him the first few SX races, or Eli in MX, or James at Straight Rhythm. SX is 17 races and MX 24 motos. Not a few races, not 5 motos, not 41 seconds. And the Dunge has both number one plates. Better than good chance he'll have them both again this year too.

When Dungey having already clinched the SX title this year weeks earlier in Houston went all out in the final at Vegas hanging with and beating Tomac , that's when it finally really bit me that this year Dungey was willing and able to go all out & did match ET in speed and in fact forced ET to crash trying to keep up with and pass RD.

Now a couple of weeks later at Hangtown ET was on another level but we didn't get to see if RD could match ET a few rounds into the series obviously as ET went down for the season early on in CO .

So Vegas SX this year , Dungey pushing it when he didn't have to and besting Tomac who was OK fire, it just kinda made us look at RD5 in a different way this year, appreciating not only the consistency but consistency with a super high % of top speed that's rock solid.

Also Last weekend, to me RD came in second as the only guy to best Stewart during a run. Had the brackets been setup differently RD would have bested KR and RD ended up in the final with Stewart grabbing second for the day not third.

Dear SX promoters and Monster Energy,

Please please please remove brackets from racing so that Ryan Dungey can win.

Thank you.

You sure are snide when it comes to Ryan Dungey, maybe a bit bitter he won the 2015 SX and National titles? He sure didn't need the whoops gone then, nor any brackets removed. He won just fine, in fact he beat everyone else when it counted.
