Ktm could have payed him 15 million this year and it still wouldve been a bargain. About the closest that there is to a sure thing, Even longtime ktm haters like myself have to recognize. While that number i spit out is ridiculous, They definitely needed to get a title here to have truly arrived. And every penny they spend on Dungey is gonna come back ten fold long term.
he had it easy this year, that's for sure
In KTM's case, what wins on Sunday will sell on Monday.

Mark my word, he won't win any titles next year as long as one of the other dudes stays healthy the whole time.
P.S Barcia is as fast, if not faster than him and Stanton is 100% right.
Bam bam be buckin' next year and RD5 can't cry about him 'disrepecting him'
How clean is the uni he wore this weekend? Fox is killin this year (or should i say next year, as this is their '13 line)
look, he deserves the titles he got..its not like he cheated to get them. you guys act like im claiming he did something to injure his competitors..clearly, that isnt the case.
enjoy it while you can guys, he'll be a 4th place guy next year, 5th if Trey/JS7 stays healthy.
When you factor in that RV2,CR22,JS7, Canard not to mention Barcia and Wilson moving up...yeah..things aren't looking good for the Dunge'
It's really hard to bet against RV's speed. He's on another level.......
Congrats to RD5 for a stellar season
Tied for series lead when gas incident happend at Freestone & 7 pts. behind when the Southwick incident happend 2011 MX, lost series by 12
14 pts. behind when the broken chain happend 2011 SX, lost by 10
Before I would say those other guys would give him fits, I would say they are bad luck charms or somethin'... Dude has been the most consistent, injury free rider period over the last three seasons and the smartest investment period just with alot of bad luck at the worst times.. The new guys coming up will be in the mix and make it tougher on everyone but why people single out Dungey and don't give credit where credit is due is beyond ridiculous. I personally think Dungey has a next level to him which we have not seen yet that will more than likely come with the aggressiveness that has been lacking so far that lots of others including DeCoster have talked about, he has been showing small signs of it and when he finds it or at least lets it loose he will either have many more championships in his hands, or follow suit as the other guys with the crashes and injuries
Try reading it again, slowly, or do i need to break out the crayons and spell it out for you?

Props to Josh Grant on the podium at Steel City too. Good to see.
There are a few very fast riders, no question about it. As we've seen over the course of time, the fastest riders are fun to watch, but don't always win championships. I've not ridden at that top level, but have to imagine that's the end game for that small elite group-.
RD5 has had his share of learning experiences through the Jlaw seasons, gas issues while leading the championship, bike mechanicals, the moto long duel with Villo last season at the end where is lost it in the last corner, and a few more.
He's fought his way past all issues, complaining very little about any of them publicly. The kid has a plan in place, and is following through with it making good decisions on the way. He's finding a way to win, no matter what the competition or obsticles are in front of him.
