I'm a fan of Ryan, great story, great rider, great person.

Cool to see him back racing.

Wonder what the goal is with this, Ryan, KTM and Roger are testing the waters?

Can't be a PR move as they are all too serious for that and will not waste time.

We will see soon enough, meantime lets go racing.

Says first 2 races ,what are the chances he stops at 2 races if he is on pace with the leaders.

Agree 100% that it’s awesome to have RD back, 222 also.

I think the goal is to keep orange bikes on the track. And like I mentioned a few posts back, all that bonus money that didn’t get paid to the “regular” KTM guys is probably financing the hero’s and legends team we’re getting this summer. And I’m way more interested in the races than I would be in a normal situation.

What if,,,,, Dungey is in it till the end and manages to secure 2nd American overall? desNations bid? Just throwing it out there... I know, I probably should have asked Rupert before I threw it.

People forget Dungey was a great outdoors racer. I hope he does top five.

He won't come close to Tomac though.

Webb should race unless he is getting surgery.

Those nerves must be hitting him right about now. That's one of the things I miss most about racing were those butterflies in your stomach showing up at the track on race day. I know it's only press day but for him now he knows this is real...after nearly 6 years away it's all coming back.

Welcome back Champ. Hope this season is as good as I have in my mind that it could be.

Tossing Cairoli and Dungey into the mix this year was really a cool idea....

I bet #5 was weed wacking the yard one day and said Fuuuuck this....and called Decoster and said " Hey man, what if?

No doubt. Great ride for the Dunge. Crazy he can come back 6 years later and the number 1 guy on this team again. AP7 has some serious proving to do.

Lol you got that right. His whole 450 career has been underwhelming. Hope he can turn it around.

Huge fan of Ryan but never expected him to look this good with so many years off. Really pumped for him. He’s never been afraid of putting in the work. Obviously that hasn’t changed.

He looks to be in very good shape, old fast people are still fast. Just their fitness or motivation slow them down . I don’t think he has either problem.

When they highlighted Ryan during the race. He Looks Amazing everywhere how he timed all the large bumps going into corners is a thing of beauty. He looked so Smooth everywhere. Shocked that he only finished 5-5 which is great. The top 4 must really b flying.
