DAMN RV destroyed them!! 2 sec's every lap!! Total domination!!! Was funny to hear RC say what I have been saying about RD for years too " He NEEDEDS to get more aggressive!!" He looked pretty good on the KTM, Not quite as smooth as he usualy is but good enough to shut up the people that said KTM will end his cereer and he will only get better before A1 on the KTM. BT101 was Real good too. the 800....I don't know about that boy. He just does not have it. Why was he so mad at RD in the 3rd race too??

Love you to death Ryan...but that Katoom ain't gonna do you no good in 2012 big guy. Can't imagine what you where thinking...unless it's one helluva pay check drawn from an Austrian Bank. It's a pity that championship seasons take take 2nd fiddle to cash-in-pocket manufacturer contracts. And ESPECIALLY to pros that so many fans have looked up to. Take me word for it folks AND let me be THE FIRST to congratulate Ryan Villopoto for winning both the 2012 AMA Supercross and Motocross Championships...cuz there ain't gonna' be any Euro-bikes running you down this year.

Sorry ou don't have a brain on Monday motopuppy. RD5 rode a great race for only being on a bike for a few weeks. RV2 was on it this weekend and would have won if RD was on his Suzuki. It was RV's year. Lasr year it ws RD's year. Next year is wide open and don't count out the KTM's. They will do what it takes to win. I only hope they get the WP suspension working better. Ohlins would be my choice for the SX line of bikes and use the WP stuff for off road and woods racing.

RV is in the zone! good job by Dungey but......that bike looks slow. If all stay healthy in 2012, Dungey gets alot of 4ths and 5ths.
and how did Musquin and Brayton finish in the same position in each race?

How can you short-bussers say that RD5's bike looked slow? And that it isn't going to do anything for him. The guy just went 3-2-2, on a new bike. Sure did pull KING Douche's son up that hill for the pass (those of you who watch inside the outdoors know who im talking about).

Now mind you he had nothing for vill-ionaire, but I dont care if RD was on villa's bike, there was no touching him.

Yeah I thought Dungey looked good and I think it was a good idea to get in their and race too. I don't think his bike looked "slow" but it did look like they still have plenty of testing to do. the bike was standing up in a few corners and a couple of places where it didn't look like it wanted to track but between being new on the bike and getting the chassis/suspension dialed, he did really well and I think he will be able to get more out of that bike by the time A1 gets here.

I also think RV was just killing it and it would have been tough for anybody to deal with that. that last moto he looked really aggressive too. He is just "ON" right now and that was a good display for the SX champ. It is going to take alot of work and patience from the competition to unseat him if he carries that momentum into 2012.

RV is lights out right now. He put everyone on notice that he is the man to beat in 2012. I didn't think anyone had a shot at winning all three motos. I'm a Stewart fan but I don't think Stewart would've hung with RV in Vegas. I can't wait until A1.

Johnmotoman wrote: 10:12am October 17, 2011

I don't understand how so many people can write off Dungey so quickly.
It was his first race on the KTM and 2nd cannot be considered slow in my opinion!!!
I know Reedy and Stewart were not there but Dungey did look just like he did on the Factory Suzuki. He is so smooth that he does not look like he is going fast!!!
We shall see come Anaheim 1.

mxguy94 wrote: 10:14am October 17, 2011

ok slow was the wrong word. I thought when Dungey and Townley were close the KTM was noticeably slower than the Kawi, and I don't think it was the rider. Dungey did a great job no doubt, but if everyone was there I don't think he gets 2nd. There really wasn't much competition there and when your a rider with Dungey's ability and confidence, I think he would have had similar results on just about anything.

@BillC- you are probably right Bill. Why not let him take it home, play with it a little, then send him a bill at the end of the year. I am sure Ryan would use the money far more better than the Feds. I just could not get over it how he just killed it Saturday night. To me that was his best ride all year. Good for Dungey to race and I think it will give the team a chance to see where they need to go from here.

LOL. I think it's funny how some people still think KTM is a tiny, unproven, exotic brand of motorcycle that can't compete with the Jap brands. Newsflash: KTM sold the most # of dirtbikes in North America this past year. They have won multiple championships in Europe both in MX and Enduro. I think they know a thing or two about building a competetive motorcycle... Now that they have hired top talent to represent the brand here in the US with Dungey, Roczen, and Musquin, why would people think they can't be successful? I'll tell you why - ignorance. Anyone who thinks that KTM is the reason why a rider can't win a championship as opposed to they reason why they should clearly doesn't know anything about motocross.

That is a funny picture....RV's lady was right there taking pics and I bet she was giving those ho's the stink eye...." thats my money...I get to keep that " she says..

RV - Killed it...way to go!!
Dungey - Looked good and pretty impressive ride, but he looks kind of cramped (too tall?) on that KTM..
Alessi - What an ass-hat...he was trying to take Dungey because he is on a KTM now out or what? ..what a joke...Then he was looking to see where he was the entire race....Alessi = DONE!!!

You could see the biggest difference in the bikes on the entry back into the stadium, Long super fast sand rollers, Rv Towney metcalf windham were all superfast and smooth in this section, Dungey was just as fast but his bike did not look as settled, when everyone else were wheelie through the section RD had to jump through parts of it which didn't allow him to set up to hit the corner has fast as everyone else.

I had been a fan of Alessi, but after sat night he has gone to goon status.

If you wanted to pass it better be a block pass and you better get away because the track was to narrow to do anything else.

The get even block pass Windham put on partridge was classic, every in the stadium saw that coming,

I agree that Alessi is done, he could not win on Factory bikes so how does he think he is going to do it now?? I see Europe in his future.

I think Mike is very confused right now. He looked super fast on the early laps but then just looked like he got tired. I think his entire program is incomplete and wrong. I think he should try the opposite of everything he is doing.

RV was so sharp and confident, man he schooled the class. Congrats! Dungey having only ridden the bike for 9 days deserves credit. The KTM is a fantastic bike,but feels nothing like a Suzuki. This early into testing most riders would have skipped the event. I think it was really smart to gather as much info on the race track as possible before the real season starts. This will really help Dungey find out where he needs to dial in the bike. His fans appreciate the fact that he made the effort to come out for them as well. 2-2-3 Pretty damn strong weekend!

wow-a thought just occured to me. Is euro-mike really Mike Allsissy? The way he plays games and acts like a baby, the possibility is there!!! Takes out his aggressions on all the people he wishes were his fans this way. LOL When BillC saw "europe in his future," it popped into my otherwise empty head. A week ago a few of us were posting good things about MA 800. You'd think he would have liked that but whatever-what a waste. One nights behavior can change things alot. As we've all seen.

Oh yeah! Mikey seemed so sincere until that bird flew out of his hand. I will admit Mikey was looking good on the Zook. But it seems his anger, aggression, and wanting it so badly clouded his thinking on the track. Good thing he didn't tr any of antics on Poto or he would have ended p in the cheap seats. As for Mikey being euro/irsh/nazi/new jersey?/mike, maybe!

If he was a citizen of most of the European countries. He'd be lucky to take home 1/4 of it. That's why the rich and famous "move" to Monaco. I still can't believe RV would actually complain about winning a million.

I'm glad he explained his black 2 comment. That made as little sense to me as nearly everything RC said at the end of the broadcast.

was that what Goon800 did?....Gave Dungey the finger? It was hard to tell on TV what he was doing...but I did notice that Goon800 was still looking at before and after Dungey walked away from him on his old bike....He also screwed Metty too when he went to the inside like a squid and allowed Dungey past both of them in one turn.....then Partridge ran Goon800 of the track......maybe they should do a medical eval on Goon800...something wrong with his head or something.....we better stop this negative banter.....I am sure Tony is reading these posts to Mikey " see...i told you....you dont listen....geeee....man....your a goon "
