Hope he doesn't get too confident...come SX season again, he'll have to deal with the fastest man on two wheels again(when he stays on 2 wheels)...and everybody knows who that is. (AND Villopoto)..it'll be great racing then!
didn't I say that last year??.........
The lap times below tell the story. Loud and clear, As you can see lap 11 was the last lap CR thought he had a chance. On lap 12 Dungey broke Reedy and made him settle for 2nd. It's amazing what RD did from lap 4 thru 10. You know there were laps in there where CR was thinking to himself "damn I'm hauling ass. Why isn't that machine in front of me getting any closer". Times like today has got to cause CR to have RC flash backs too.

Sad news for everyone is that Dungey has a good shot at doing this for the next 5 years. Pourcel is starting to fatigue or lose interest, not sure which just yet.
If there is one thing that I would like to see on these boards it would be the ability to see all these (second is the first loser) types, for what they are. What do they do for a living, and are they one of the top people in their profession in the country. Are they over weight? Are they in good shape? Can they even compete at the local level?
There are really a lot of top notch experts here on Vital.
Honestly Dan. Why in the fuck does someone need to start all the (these guys are pussies) bullshit, in a thread that is basically giving Dungey some well deserved props?
The kid can twist the throttle on top of all of his other skills.

I lol'ed.
Most of the people who criticize riders on here wont even post a picture of themselves sitting on a bike, much less riding one.
Dungeys style of winning races is perfect too. Where a Stewart will just attack and try and gap (JS doesn't want anyone to even lead 1 lap)everyone the first 10-15 min then just ride it in from there. Dungey like RC just finds a pace he knows will get him to the checkered flag first and runs exactly that pace til they give up or when the race is over. The last 3 weeks that seemingly easily managed pace he's running has been enough to make the field quit 20-25 min into every moto. Somebody better step up or he's going to be hard to stop. Sure RV and JS both may have been way faster then him before this SX and MX season started but the confidence Dungey is stock piling is going to be hard to beat when they get back.
I am sure it is no surprise to Dungey. Stewart and RC have been exposing Reed since 2002
I loved the, "Where the bear shits in the woods."
Dungey definitely wants it more, and he broke Reed down yesterday for sure. I'd be surprised if Reed can rebound after that. If I were Reed, I probably wouldn't have much fire left either at his age, and with a kid and what not.

It's a long series , so i wouldn't go and count Reed out just yet. He's been proven to be a title contender just about every single year he's raced.
He didn't win yesterday.....but neither did the other 38 guys.
