I agree Nerd, It could be argued that Suzuki have potentially cost Dungey both titles this year. If Ryan loses this outdoor title by just a few points, he will not be very happy. And even RV mentioned he doesn't want to win the outdoor series due to a mechanical, he wants to beat Dungey straight up.

Is it Suzuki's fault a rock derailed RD's chain in SX?

Nerd-RE: "Instead, Dungey is still playing catch-up, and that has to be frustrating, whether he says so publicly or not." No shit Sherlock.

Personally I took away from his TV interview that RD is the consummate professional and in my book he's allowed to keep his inner feelings to himself.
It is ironic they switched sprockets....

Steve, IMO changing the title of your column will avoid all the dissapointment that people feel when they learn they didn't really find out "what really happened".

I mean that sincerely without any jabs or sarcasm.

Woohoo

I'd change the name of the column if it was "Here's what happened that you don't know". But last I checked, that's not what it's called.

Comedy.

Don't read my stuff if you don't like it. Read that other guy. He might give you a better story, especially if you're not concerned with truth.
No denying your articles truth, just truth thats already out there. You're to late.

To release your article days after the event with that title, unless you got something new, why bother.

To me you're implying you have all the truth, the reasons, some exclusive info.......and you don't.

To me its just a rehash of whats already out there.

Now I'm doneLaughing

One thing I've learned is that the truth isn't exclusive.

Maybe someday you'll learn that, too.

A situation is often said to be ironic (situational irony) if the actions taken have an effect exactly opposite from what was intended.

Which implies that they switched to stop chain derailments. But they never had any with Renthal, so that's a stupid assumption, as is you saying it's ironic.

It all depends on the storyteller, the character and how obnoxious the listener feels like being that day.-Theotmeal

The reason you know all that crap, is because of the moto media in general.
So to nitpick them about one article (Nerd, despite his haughty demeanor) has informed us over the years. That's my only point. I don't understand the hostility to people that have basically dedicated their lives to the same sport we all love. Not to get dramatic about it, but some of these people want to attack every little thing, while spending every day lapping up moto news like it's Mountain Dew poured on Erin Bates' boobs.

Damn guys, if you don't like Cox, don't read his shit. At least he is slowly improving and his stories are no longer about himself and his interview questions are now shorter than the answers. he's not a bad journalist, but jeez, sometimes he makes Matthes look like a Nobel Peace Prize candidate.

I understand that everyone was wanting to know what happen to the bike, but I wouldn't hold my breath on getting that answer. I am sure that a good deal of people know what the problem was, but reporting something with out a direct "on the record" quote could backfire on the journalist.

Carry on Steve.

I understand, but at least wait until someone gives you good reason before you start piling on. He wrote an article just as he does every week, but he didn't say what people were on the edge of their seats wanting to hear. That's just the way it goes in this tight lipped business.

Honestly, I don't even know why it matters. What if it's the fuel pump? What if it's the CDI? What's the difference? It definitely won't happen again, whatever it was. So who gives a crap?

No matter what it was, it was preventable in hindsight. Which piece doesn't change anything whatsoever.

It's nonsense.

No pile. (You'd smell that-but now that you mention it, isn't that what happens to LB?). Just something that occurred to me reading this thread.

Not dense just busy. Not much desk time recently.

In the immortal words of 500Guy....you can't take this Internet stuff to seriously. but after reading Instead, Dungey is still playing catch-up, and that has to be frustrating, whether he says so publicly or not." No shit Sherlock. the second time I see it now as a wrap up to the article. Didn't strike me that way first pass and why I posted.

I respectfully withdraw my No shit Sherlock.

I think a lot of us will look back, years from now, and appreciate the articles that Steve has written. I appreciate them now and I believe he writes the truth, even if the truth isn't as spectacular as I want it to be.

That's just it. He doesn't provide any insight. It's like reading DDavis observations.
