watson Added a reply to Dungey on GP tracks/Competition

No argument here. My anti-endorsement of blind GP pom-pom wavers (which may or may not have replied in this thread) was not an endorsement of his posts in this thread in the least.

Not stupid in the least. It's a fact that with more top GP riders (primarily from MX2) coming over here than vise versa- we have a certain depth that may not be able to be expressed in the GP's (this doesn't faster, before you turn this into one of those arguments). In fact, there are usually more GP/AMA champs racing...

Beyond Dunge possibly eluding to the track prep in the GP's not being the best, that's where any agreement from me with that statement ends. Just like I don't know how anyone could logically say the GP riders are faster/are tougher competition right now, I don't know how anyone can logically say the AMA riders are faster/are tougher competition right...

You're right, the results do speak for themselves– the other "faster" guys (Stewart and Tomac) crater themselves going a speed they can't sustain in an effort to beat Dungey (which isn't faster in the least). I will concede that Villopoto was faster than Dungey since he was flat out faster at a speed he could sustain throughout a series. But...

Hopefully more privateers follow his lead on the 125 next year. The publicity he got (and rightfully so) has been a real boon to him, not to mention his finishes have been downright impressive on the machine. Preaching to the choir here, but let 150cc two strokes race in the 250F class already!

Loved it. It was a classic. Some of the stuff in Koston's part people weren't able to do with any consistency for years after. My favorite part was McCrank's, though. Guy charges so hard wherever he skates. What did you think of it? Another (semi) oldie, but goodie:

Not really, your criticism just needs to be substantiated. Some Americans can't take it, but most can. Just like any country, for that matter. Also, when you're taking potshots at USA riders on a USA based forum- what do you expect? That said, I don't think OP was taking a potshot, some Americans in this thread are just being fucking...

I really hope it's just venting. Even people who love their jobs will complain about certain aspects of it. Out of any moto journalist, he's easily my favorite. Also, the dude seems to live and breath moto. I don't think he'll leave, but that's just me.

One of the few situations where I liked the b-side more than the actual video part. Andrew Reynolds is the man.

Even if he doesn't show his latter-season brilliance, I wouldn't be terribly upset as we aren't even able to send our best 450 rider this year. Euro's will say that's a pre-excuse. It's more like a fact, just like the fact that the Dutch and Germans won't be able to send their best riders and Italy and Belgium may not...

You've pretty much got it. Given that Dungey's had the most wins in both Supercross and Outdoors by a mile this year as well as the titles- I don't understand why people are still down-talking his speed and saying Roczen and Tomac are flat-out faster. That, to me, is nonsense.

This absolutely fucking sucks. The only consolation is that it wasn't a gnarly crash that ended the run. Can't believe this championship came down to an electrical issue.

Don't know about your last statement. Dungey was clearly faster this year in Supercross than both Tomac and Roczen. Tomac was undeniably faster outdoors this year, but last year Dungey was faster than Tomac. Roczen was faster indoors and out last year than Dungey, but the tables have turned this year for both disciplines. I don't think there's enough information...
