I think so, and it must be very frustrating if you were a huge dungey fan

Marvin was much faster, whether Ryan let him go or not makes no difference, it was inevitable.

As Dungey's #1 fan, I am now genuinely worried about him.

Marvin was most definately faster, it also seemed like dungey started dropping very fast.

TBH I'm rooting for cooper and chad so either way I didn't have a very good night haha

Yeah, sure looked like it. There seems to be something bothering him. Don't know if it is illness, the Roczen crash or something else. His whole approach has seemed different from last year. From practice on through the main. Anyone know what is going on?

I thought that at first too. But at the end of the tv program they showed a replay of the pass from another angle and it looks like he actually gets a little loose when he gets on the brakes and has to check up a bit.

He's not at the top of his game like the last two years, but he's still going to win it all. Which is better than everyone else

Last week Dungey had 22 points on 3rd, this week 24 points on third in the championship.

I felt for sure that Dungey would turn it around this week with it being his home town race, but it just didn't happen. To be fair I didn't think that he would be able to run Eli's pace, but I didn't think that Musquin would catch him, he was only just inside the top 10 off the start

No check up, he gave all he had and that was his home track.

Thats how he win championships, every time the same. Get good starts en podiums or gets 4th. Without fighting. He let them pass very easy the past few races. There are several faster riders. Roczen, Anderson, Tomac, Musquin but they make mistakes because they're fighting and riding on the limit and thats what we like to see if it works out (without crashing). In the past was it the same with Reed, Stewart en even Villopoto although he often crashes when he already had the championship. But they all are winners because they wanna win. People call it smart what dungey does, but the most people wanna win if we are in something...

Christ!....you guys kill me with this shit every year! Dungey always starts out slow. Picks and chooses his spots , and when the gap starts to shrink , he starts pouring it on.

" Worried about Dungey "....Really? Eli is my favorite dude out there right now , and I root for him to win every weekend. But there is no denying , that right now , RD has a good points lead over Marv and Eli. AND....if this is his farewell season , you may only see him win this championship by a few points. Play it safe , so he can retire in one piece.

Do not be worried about RD. For God's sake , just go Re-watch round #2 , and watch what he's capable of.

Can we start calling him The Diesel again?

Funny how good Tomac is when he's not battling a serious shoulder injury. He's finally healthy after his 2015 shoulder injury at Lakewood.

This is honestly the first year I have seen him show this level of speed in SX. Even before the shoulder injuries he hadn't really done much in the stadiums. He has some wins but not too many. Other than his 4.5 race show of dominance outdoors this is really the first time ET has shown that he may be a title threat on a 450. Yes, I know he won the Lites outdoor title but I'm talking about the big boys.

Yeah, Dungey "let" Marvin by like Smith "let" Savatgy by.

Update: Dungey and Smith had no say to the matter.

Dungey has nearly a full race in points lead at rd 6 and you guy's are worried about him this year cause he didn't go balls out on a track that could easily bight you?
I'd be praying for the other guys to make it sure this championship isn't wrapped by rd 12

In 2015 he won 3 races and was the fastest guy on the track a majority of the time, he couldn't get a start to save his life though.
As far as Dungey, I heard he's having a little bit of issues getting his bike dialed. He'll figure things out, last week was only the first time he didn't extend his lead over 2nd place in the points.

I mean we can't really say RV. He won 4 times straight against Ryan and basically had him covered everytime they raced.

No panic button for Ryan just yet. He was smart and just let him go, cruised to a 3rd place finish. Thats why they call him the diesel.

Yes, Dungey checked up just to screw me out of a pair of EKS brand googles. Had all top 5 correct for my fantasy picks until he gave up.
