I bet he peaked a few times on his honeymoon last week.

You know what...Cyg's joke got me laughin'...then thinkin'....

RD has peaked...SEVERAL TIMES...

Twice in 2009: 250 SX Lites, MX & MXoN Champ
Thrice in 2010: 450SX, MX & MXoN Champ (his Rookie 450 year).
Once in 2011: MXoN Champ (& MX1 overall)
Once in 2012: 450 MX Champ

Now, here's the important part...when Ryan has a Bad Year? He get's 2nd.
When he has a Terrible Year? He get's 3rd.
His Rookie Year? I think he got 5th...and 5th (2007).

I'm thinkin' he's about to turn 25 & hit his "3rd Renaissance".

I don't think he ended up fifth his rookie sx year did he? Hell he won like three races, I thought he was second to Townly?

It's crazy to think that he's been contending for wins for five years now. Sometimes that's all the window these guys get.

Nevermind you were right. He did finish 5 in Lites but he had 4 wins if you count the lites shootout in vegas.

2015 is Dungey's best yet. I think he wins both. For real. The field is deep but he is too good and too consistent and with Baker it brings him that extra 2%. He went out and got what he thought he needed. That out to tell everyone he doesn't think he has peaked yet-because, most importantly he doesn't believe it. For those that do not....pfffft.

If Dungey doesn't deliver a championship with Baker training him can we all agree that he isn't going to get much better than he already is regardless of bike?

Someone above posted his career statistics, and I don't see him beating or equaling those for the remainder of his career at all.

So yes I would say his career has peaked. That's just my opinion.

This could be the scenario we see for sure. Gonna be fun watching to find out.

I agree Cyg and while I pull for Dungey first, I am a huge fan of Kenny and Eli and Canard too. All of these guys are full of class and fast as shit. Dungey is young enough to keep improving and he WANTS to keep improving, most importantly. Not saying the other guys don't also. Now we need them to all stay healthy to make the gate for A1. Should be an amazing season should we be fortunate enough to get all the top guys there in 6 weeks.

KTM Goes 1-2 In American Motocross Championship in 2014, Wins MX1 and MX2 World Championships and people say its the bike!

I am a huge Roczen fan and currently ride a Suzuki, but dam it would be cool to see Dungey win both titles in 2015 on the Pumpkin, just to finally let it sink in for some people that the bikes are as good as any out there.

As for Dungey peaking? Doubt it he is 25, though I guess people have been writing Reed off since he was about 25, you know the last 7 years or so.

The KTM guys I've talked to about the new bike are pumped on it.

The KTM mechanics I've talked to are *really* pumped on it. They say it's a lot simpler to work on.

I also heard a rumor that they expect to have four bikes at the weight limit at A1.

Again reminder... just because KRock does not like/fit the bike does not mean it's "bad" by any means, it's just not for him.

Dungey hasn't peaked, he's a freakin android and will be as solid as ever. He's on a great bike and team plus he has his shit together mentally and physically in my opinion. He will finish exactly where he is supposed to finish.

In second through fifth?

Roczen
Stewart
Barcia
Canard
Tomac

Just to name a few are equal in speed, faster, and much more aggressive than Super Pump on any given night.

Let's face it the Dung can't pass. If he starts behind these riders he will not pass them unless they all crash. The aggressiveness or some may call it confidence he had in twenty ten is gone.

His bank account hasn't peaked yet.

I think you guys sometimes forget, these guys are pros. Winning isn't necessarily everything.
