Then he will never win dominant because he won't build up a one minute lead over anyone even if he can. He has learned that pretty soon in his career. Dungey has also never ever dominated a race then.

It's all good by me, man. Smile Kenny did awesome and no one was beating him yesterday.

Other than the last moto yesterday, he was only about 5 seconds ahead of Dungey. I would say dominate would be 20+ seconds on another rider. Of course, that is just an arbitrary number, but the point is I don't think Dungey is worried about the speed at this point. After last year's beat down, I think ALL the riders were worried about Tomac's speed.

Reminded me of Carmichael and Villopoto. Seemed like no matter where they started, they were top five after the first few corners 90% of the time.

He kind of stayed out in his own during press day and practice on Saturday.

He would let everyone leave the start line and get about half way around the track before he took off. He was out trying different lines and weird stuff. But it helped during the motos.

Smart move since most of the fast guys all were together during practice.

It's a long season and there will be many different winners. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Dungey rode solid and did what he always does. Just plays it smart and podiums. Roczen was just riding awesome and I had a feeling he would win the way he has been riding this past month. Anderson was on fire that second moto. Barcia needs to get some things figured out. He is better than this. Tomac won't outright say it but I honestly believe he is very unhappy with his bike which I don't understand because it's a factory bike and they test so I find that odd at this level and the time he's had on the bike.
It seems at this level the guys that are winning and up front are the ones that have there training programs figured out.

I was not expecting Savatgy to be so dominant and Alex Martin also. Great rides from them.

A year ago people were saying the same things about Tomac and were ready to hand him the number one plate. We all saw how that worked out. There's 11 more rounds to go, plenty of time to get things figured out.

7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

Amazing at this level how important perfect bike setup is.
I dont think Dungey's bike is perfect either, difference is that RD doesnt complain he rides it as best he can and still wins.

If the rider himself doesnt excuse with bike setup the fans will do that for him lol

Kennys just downright awesome. I feel he had more in him if he wanted but played it cool. He's my tip for the champs

Ken rode great and was very aggressive in the first few turns. He will do very well this outdoor season to the point people will be sketchy about the brand switch at the end of the year since the results are there. Still got Dungey taking the #1 plate though. He is still young though and is likely to pick up where Dungey leaves off as he will retire much sooner then Ken.

Ha. I probably have a little bit of a history of being skeptical about Roczen. No foul sir. I've been digging the Marley coffee lately. Try it out.

He's not a bad pick at all! haha... I just think he's particularly good on that sort of surface, which is not Dungey's best...

I also think Dungey will get 23 out of 24 starts inside the top 5 and that won't be the case for either Eli or Kenny.
