Surprising. I thought they would at least have done some riding in the mud, just in case that scenario arises.

Agree.... What's not surprising that Dungey is the guy who says of course he does!

I'm sure Dungey would've been surprised himself to hear that a lot of the other guys don't practice in the mud

Certainly an interesting question. For the factory guys who don't have their own tracks though, who is actually going to let them ride a track when it is sloppy and completely tear it up and destroy it ?? That could be a big part of it, getting on a supercross track when it's muddy and been raining ?? Certainly surprising that someone like James Stewart would be concerned about destroying a practice bike. Isn't that the benefit of being a top factory guy, not having to worry about stuff like that ??

You don't have to ride a track to learn how to ride in the mud.

SUCK ME F*CKING SIDEWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is absolutely ridiculous, especially James' reply. I'm guessing it was tongue in cheek

I am very shocked after reading that. I hope for a mudder at Daytona this year

James has said that heaps, smiling ear to ear when he does. He's joshing for sure.

Yeah assuming they are trying to play head games by saying they don't like it or afraid to get dirty...If that is their true outlook that's pretty sad.

The answers show why Dungey is a Champion.
