he's taken a lot of heat this year. i say either get your dungey ticket punched now or stick with villo or reedy.
in fact, one could start a whole nother thread right now where we all get on board once and for all with who we think is going to win the title.
but i dont think theres anything that dungey can do at this point to shake the haters if he doesnt rip off a couple wins with the entire fab 5 in attendance.
it'll go like this
"Stewart was busted up"
"Villopoto was busted up"
"Reeds bike is not factory and he is still cramping"
"Trey doesnt have a toronto set up."

Maybe you should do some reading regarding the roles Aussies have played in the wars over the last 100 years or so and you may change your opinion regarding the pussies comment.
More than likely not being the ignorant ass that you come across as.
Fuckwit.
GO REEDY.
Look at how Reed did it in 2006 and 2009. Only one or two rounds off the podium the whole season, nothing worse than 4th, and no DNF's. At the end he was only 2 points and 4 points off the title respectively.
Dungey's biggest problem right now is that there are three riders who are consistently faster than him - RV, JS and CR - and another who is occasionally faster than him (TC).
What ever the opinions are, he earned them and is racing hard to keep them. Just as the people that earned them before, and will after this season.
From the DeCoster interview at MXA, it appears he's earned the respect of another older and wiser RD in the moto world.
Things that any rider would cherish, championships and respect of "The Man".
Not hating, I really like the kid. He's shown he can turn lap times as fast as the top-3 guys, he simply does not seem to have the ability to "quickly" pass slower riders. I don't know if its an aggressiveness issue, or if he lacks the "race-smarts" to get it done. There just doesn't seem to be any "urgency" in his riding style. With his terrible starts this season, this has absolutely killed the guy. Hopefully, he'll see last week's events as "new life", and pick it up the rest of the season.
Reed had a 7th in 2009 and two 5ths in 2006.
not saying he isn't fast, because obviously he is, but he's gonna need more than a big bicep to grab that win.
As to passing through the pack, i watch him closely now that so many say he cannot pass from a bad start or has no race craft. Go back and watch all the races and in the last 4 or so races he does pass quickly but when he gets to the other fast guys, they are another kettle of fish and cannot be passed so easily! I think overall he is doing good considering two mechanicals and the number of great riders he is competing against. Also, most of the time he is on pace with anyone on the track but when they all are going fast, on pace with a bad start does not equal victory.. With his starts he needs to be even faster then them not "just as fast".
I was surprised that he did not run Reed and Canard down last weekend considering he was .155 off JS's pace after they changed the track in practice and that he won his qualifier. Sometimes things just don't work out and for RD things are not working out for one reason or another but its not speed and its not desire. To put is simply it seems as though its all about the starts, but that's nothing new in racing!
Go RD!
Pit Row
2 of them weren't in the main event and he still wasn't able to get it done. i hope for his sake he makes it happen, otherwise it will have been a less than stellar championship defense from him this season.
HE CAN WIN THIS THING !
