Tomac has stepped it up more than I think MC, RC, or JS ever did. Altitude becomes the new Florida within 5 years. I don't think Roczen would be much closer than Dungey is.

And honestly, RD is being a great loser.

Not once has he made an excuse.

No veiled references to an injury.

No throwing the bike/team under the bus.

Just flat out admits that he doesn't have the speed.


Imagine how many excused Chad Reed would be grabbing at had he been in RD's situation.

Tomac is riding probably faster than anyone in history right now. Dungy is a great person and takes full responsibility for his results. Two great competitors that were lucky to watch battle it out.

Dungey is better than everyone else. Tomac is just unreal. He really is the fastest man on the planet. Period.

If Eli doesn't take home this title it'll be a crying shame.

Absolute beast.

100% agree, part of being a great champion is being a great "loser" too. Dungey is the definition of a great champion. Always respectful and gives credit where it's due.

Unfortunately, he has nothing for Tomac either.

Tomac is riding great. Dungey is keeping him honest but isn't quite as fast. That's racing. Both are great ambassadors for the sport.

By far the second best SX rider this year. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Tomac is a monster! Dungey is a champ and rode great. There are two races left. Dungey HAS to finish ahead of Tomac next race or Vegas won't matter. As amazing as Tomac is right now, I think Dungey can still win it. He has to put in a ride like Vegas 2008, or Minneapolis 2013 if he wants to stay in this.

I haven't either. I heard him say things like, 'we found a few small things on the bike this week that helped but nothing major...' I have not heard him make any excuse referring to the race he was being questioned about.

I wouldnt call being a second a lap slower keeping tomac honest, nor the points deficit that Tomac ate away and is 3 points ahead, or even the fact tomac was 15th on the holeshot and still won. Tomac is just amazing right now and dungey hasnt had a real challenge like this in any of his titles. I think tomacs mid season gain in speed and confidence was underestimated by dunge and ktm at first. Now its bit them in the ass badly.

Musquin and Roczen have won as many races as Dungey.
Dungey is definitely the most consistent. But I think Roczen and Musquin are/were the only guys capable of pushing Tomac... and even then it's hard to imagine either could beat him.


Although I think Roczen and Musquin could have won if they got the holeshot and Tomac was back in 15th. Not that any of it matters. Tomac deserves the title.

ET3 is absolutely ridiculous right now! The last time I saw him ride was at the GP at Glen Helen, his speed makes you look at the guy next to you and say, "holy shit!", it's mind boggling! I hope he stays healthy cause it's a treat to watch him ride.

RD has a drop of self preservation in him like most mortals, ET had it removed.

It was nice not to see any riders fucking with Eli as he came through the pack. He had to pass a lot of KTMs and Huskies. Everyone kept it clean and didn't pull anything stupid to change the outcome. They raced Eli hard but fair. Thought that was cool to see. Not sure that will continue to be the case as we get closer to crunch time.

Considering how many championships and race wins Dungey has he will never have to be ashamed of anything.. even if he rode around in last place.
