Dungey exited sx early with a collarbone injury practicing. Then Stew and Reed exited due to injury, then RV wrapped up the championship and promptly tore his ACl ending his 2012.
Onto outdoors, Stew switched to Suzuki and won the first 4 Moto's before crashing out in moto 1 at Thunder Valley. Take a look at the finishing order from that race. How many 450 wins (moto or overall) does the top 20 in that race have combined NOT including Dungey? The answer, not many. Fact matter.
All those riders are amazing, but when I see people trying to down play Dungey's career, I just think that's big time lame.
To use another one of the points, maybe he crashed in 2016 trying to push the young guns pace?
Tomac and Stewart had so many epic rides it’s unreal.
Is that why Dungey retired, Did you ask him that?
Breaking his neck, then Nelsons horrible injury and Kenny’s are more the reason along with the fact that he got to have a life during the Summer of 16 but hey go with what you want. 😂
Last time I Checked Kenny was the only one that beat him in a title race of the current guys.
Why is it that Dungey gets given titles that he definitely didn’t win (2011), and some that he didn’t even compete for (2017)? Not trying to hate on Dungey but I always see people trying to discredit the more recent champions by saying Dungey would have won when, in my opinion if it was such a sure thing that he would have won, he wouldn't have retired.
While in the 2011 MX series Dungey lost at least 30 points to his Suzuki shitting the bed not once but twice. BTW I’m an RV fan too.
RC quit because of Stew jumping shit in SX and RV quit because he hated racing, Dungey quit because of what I wrote earlier. I just think it’s Funny that after Dungey won 3 straight SX titles over Tomac and won the outdoors because Tomac weeded it huge and Dungey is the lucky one? Tomac at times can go faster than argabuly anyone but Dungey’s OMG did you see how bad he did races were 4th place. No comparison for a series, outside of Tomacs 18MX season.
It’s all in good fun, it’s what I come to Vital for. The what if’s and arguing with the same 20 of us over and over again.
I’ve never claimed Dungey was lucky.All I'm saying is if we're going to give Dungey the 2011 titles because of mechanicals then surely we have to give Tomac the 2017 SX title? (Not to mention anyone else who has lost a title because of a mechanical). The stories are very similar, had a mechanical early, managed to claw their way back to title contention but didn't perform when it mattered. 2011 outdoors Dungey was one point behind RV after Washougal and only managed to beat RV in three motos after that, that's including the second moto at Southwick where he actually didn't beat him but put in one of the best riders ever. Even if you give Dungey the win in that moto he still loses the title by one point.
Again, I'm just saying that in both scenarios neither of them got the job done when it really mattered and only one of them gets shit for it, and it's not Dungey. Now to Dungey's credit he did manage to come back and win not just one but two more outdoor titles which is something Tomac has failed to do at all in SX.
This year was a textbook Dungey title run.
Pit Row
stacking wins in thin fields. (He won about 30 races over the 2010 (thin field, RV2 injured, Reed on Kawi, Townley etc), 2012 (Stewart crashed out, RV2 injured) & 2015 seasons (ET3 out at round 3).
Nothing against Dungey he can only race who shows up but you do have to agree he did have it easy in those years. (Good on him, he deserved to after all the work he put in).
He was beaten by RV2 2011/2013, his rookie teammate KR94 2014 and went out injured in 2016 (I don’t think he would of beat KR94).
I do agree that he would of probably won 2017 450MX though, ET3 was too inconsistent.
Post a reply to: 3 peat and fourth all time on the mx wins list.
