Emig needs a new top end, or some clutch plates, he is locking up.
Vital seems to be locking up (on my end at least) also.
Anyone else? Too many viewers perhaps?

Yet people still think Honda´s got the best team. Running out of gas is unprofessional for a factory team!

Absolutely no complaints, just saying.
Thanks for the opportunity we have to chat, vent, and just plain communicate with other moto- heads.

Huuuuuge bummer for Metcalfe. I was hoping he would pull that one off.

Nice ride by Alessi...on the podium!

Short and Metcalfe ran out of fuel. Metty was going to win the moto, 1/2 lap to go and she ran dry. Pretty sure Townley had engine problem, not fuel.

Could have sworn he faced all those guys this year at A-1 as well and came home with a title. Can't blame Dungey if his competition can't finish a series in one piece.

Yes he did and got beat by Stewart. not nocking Dungey just saying he has to be the luckiest rider ever, the two fastest riders out injured all season, just seems like he can't do nothing wrong. Must be the man above!!! Like i said we'll see next year.

You make your own luck. He's ultra prepared and never has to ride over his head like Villo and Bubba thus he doesn't get hurt. Yeah Bubba and RV have blistering raw speed but RD is 1000x smoother and more patient so he doesn't crash his brains out and snaphis limbs and blow out ligaments. Got nothing to do with luck. EVERY championship ever won has had guys out with injuries so stow that bs. Guess Bubba is pretty lucky RC retired or he would have 0 450 titles right?

Who is Robert Taylor? Looks like he is riding for Valli today.
Actually its Taylor Robert. Off road rider for Valli. Led every lap of the last two Worcs races he rode, last 09 race at Mesquite and every lap at first race of the 2010 race in AZ and hurt his knee. Been recuperating and this is his first race back, not too bad for an off road guy racing his first MX National. Been selected for the Junior World Team at this years ISDE in Mexico, he'll pin it.

The point was they all started the series together and Dungey came away with a title not who won A-1, but since that seems important to you I'll mention Dungey won Phoenix and A-2. So lifetime Ryan Dungey currently has twice as many SX class victories than James Stewart when they both make it to the start line for the same main event.

Metty ran out of gas in moto 1 and was running an oversized tank to boot. Guess they need to put a desert tank on it for moto 2.
