There you go...

Dungey is just an also-ran, ask Bradz

I like the fact Reed is kicking a$$ after he debacle with Kawasaki.
Anytime a guy can start his own team after everyone wrote him off and then have a factory running to provide support because he's winning, it's quite a turn around.
There'a long way to go outdoors, but he finished 2nd in Supercross and he's got 3 out 4 motos so far. He wins the series, something tells me Two Two Racing will be Honda/Two Two Racing next year.

i think you are right, but something tells me it is pretty much that already, probably just without the cash and bureaucracy

I was impressed at Dungy, not only his riding and determination. After his bike quit, you didn't see him throw his helmet or throw the bike down and storm back to the pits pouting. He pushed his bike back to the pits on a 100 degree day after racing flat out for 30 minutes. When is the last time you've seen that???

shred~i didn't say he's an also ran, i said he's going to get pushed around. neither reed or villopoto have anything but love taps for dungey, and they use them whenever/wherever possible.
this started in sx in january, when everyone who was missing last year (when dungey won), made it a point to let him know they're back. lots of bumping and jostling.

you always tackle the guy with the football, right? he had the #1 plate, others wanted it, took it away.

ricky~he pushed his bike because he was going to take it across the finish line in case it gave him maybe one more point. that's why his mechanic wasn't touching the bike - outside interference would disqualify him. once he found out he couldn't do better than last, he just went to the pits.
kids got great work ethic, just needs to grow his "attachments" a little more when it comes to be roughed up by the other guys.
