Ryan Dungey wins 450 class. The 350 KTM couldn't hang in this race. Dungey made up a lot of ground in the 2nd Moto. 250's are running right now, but only the 2nd Moto in the 450's was on NBC live.
Please put the word SPOILER or "race results" in the subject - I've been out riding all day and hadn't watched the race yet on my DVR. I guess I'll watch it anyway but the excitement is now lost.
No, a guy from the MX club I belong to did. I guess Reed's mechanic snipped the line off, but still finished 33rd in the moto.
He quit Yes, he pulled off the track and quit ... No effort to continue really and winning any points did not matter to him ... RD is handing him his a$$ so he knows he ain't winning so he quit ... I think he is still fast but over the hill ... Only gonna another championship if all other get injured as in the past....
Wow. So do you think he should have continued with no front brakes? And don't you think RD won his SX championship with all of his competition out hurt? Give CR some credit - he's still one of the fastest out there.
Is cr a PRO rider trying to win a championship? ... Other PROs in the past have kept going when the bike might have had issues. RC for one. cr quit. I hate seeing it also but he quit. cr has never beaten his peers in a season long battle ... RC or JS7... RD is just starting ... He single handedly is putting cr in the back seat ... And cr is actually going along with it ... He's still fast but over the hill ... These young guys aren't gonna lay down for him and that is his only chance ....
My point was I don't blame him for pulling off. He wouldn't have finished in the points so why stay out there and possibly get hurt trying to ride with no front brake? And yes RD is extremely talented and a good person. It does seem that when he is close in points to a Pro Circuit rider his oponents bikes seems to have issues.... Did anyone see RD in the pits holding a pair of wire cutters?
Could you have imagined what would have happened if the caliper went in the front wheel. I wonder what that repair is worth ?
