Wow you sure are convinced OldTiddler putting all your eggs in one basket over a rider that has never ridden a 450 outdoors with a field of the entire worlds best....not just the AMA riders. Hew did well when he rode a 450 in SX but that was then.....

I won't be surprised either way. What would surprise me is if one is decisively faster than the other.

I won't be. I think he is going to be a great 450 rider.

I think he'll be a bit reserved. Especially in the first moto. Second moto,,,,, depends on how we stand. I'd be very surprised if he didn't finish in the top five of his class. How's the weather lookin' over there?

I expect him to be fastest in practice.

I believe he will feel he has something to prove.

The racing is anyone's guess and will come down to Reedys starts i believe. If he continues to struggle early like he has in some of the Nationals then i think Dungey could beat him.

I wont be totally surprised not because of skill but because reed is changing brands next weekend and im sure that is playing on his mind.

I think practice starts in 3hrs so I guess it'll all start to work itself out real soon.

I wouldnt be suprised if Dungey starts off like a drag car then fades a little towards the end.. The 250f Phyco first 5 laps... then who knows. Good luck to Dungey, super nice guy.

I think RD has a tough task ahead. The kid is a great rider but his instincts are wired for the 250. Now, new bike, one race, huge pressure...? If he really goes for it, I'll be surprised to see him stay off the ground. I hope he is a bit conservative and shoots for top 5.

And Reed has been grooming the track with his visor a lot lately. Who knows what he's going to do.

Weimer might beat them both.

Let's hope they did not accidentally leave the water on all night. Smile

Dungy will never fade. Crash maybe.....but not fade.

His biggest obstacle will not be any one rider, but rather trying too hard.

Reed will spank Dungey if he can keep it on 2 wheels.

The only reason i thought he may fade a little, is i dont know how much conditioning his body has had to ride the 450 that fast for that long.
No doubt he is one of the fittest and determined guys in the world, so hopefully that works for him.

I think RD will be fine. I have a weird feeling RD is going to be a huge international figure in MX after Sunday.

Dungey has no better credentials than IT9, i wouldn't be surprised to see IT running faster times than Dungey
