WAIT!!.......Before you slam me , let me explain. First off , Stewart looked friggin' amazingly comfortable and fast on that Suzuki.....completely different than what he did on that Yamaha.
RD....He looked like he was fighting that bike every square inch on the track out there. Nothing like he did last year when he was on the Suzuki. I know it's a new bike , and he hasn't had a chance to race it outdoors yet......but that SOB looked like it was all over the place.
If they were to get that thing feeling smooth like his Suzuki's from the last couple years , I think he could of gone and Stewart a little more trouble.
BUT.....who knows? I was so impressed by James and his style on that Suzuki......he made it look effortless. I wasn't expecting him to look that comfortable at the very first round. I think the rest of the field needs to figure something out quick before it's a run away season. I am confident RD and KTM will be making some changes.......as I've learned never to count that guy out....EVER!
Other notes :
What the hell happened to team Honda Brayton and Hahn??
Bagget......that kid is simply a maniac!!!!........he posted a 2:05 in that first moto when Stewart , RD and the rest were putting down 2:06 and 2:07's....on 450's!!...........un-friggin'-believable!!

The Shop
Just sayin'
JS is on it for sure and RD will have figure out how to wind that KTM up sooner!
One time in specific really sticks out for me, one of the downhill sections with some heavy breaking bumps, Dungey got mad huckabuck and damn near got his hands shook off the bars. He still made the inside rut, which was impressive, but it felt like watching Mike Alessi or something. It reminded me of Dungey's ride at the MEC, which KTM ended up turning around pretty well I'd say, so I'm sure by round 3 or 4 he'll have the bike more in control. Or not.

I also wrote:
"Hondas and Suzukis look like the same bike with different plastic" meaning they both seem to handle the terrain the same.
"Millsaps - seemed surprised a few times"..
"Bagget - holy sh!t"
"Damn, I'd tap that".
"I'm pretty damn buzzed"
"These nachos are pretty damn good".
"I'm hammered"
"I'd blow any of these racers for some sweaty goggles".
JS had a couple of sketchy moments as well, losing the front end a couple of times/
Post a reply to: Dungey looked " Off "....bike anyways.
