The big deal is JL has been doing everything he can to get under Dungeys skin or into his head- often by dirty tactics. Dungey was signed by One industries as their premier rider and then they bring in the one guy who's goal is to do anything he can so Dungey is no longer the threat to him. How can you say you would want to share space with JL if you were in Dungeys boots?tweek49 said:I just don't see what the big deal is. Terminating a contract just because he was on a team with someone he doesn't care for? That's something I barely even see in high school, the teenage girls at least act like they like the other one THEN talk **** behind they're back? :ugg:

In the end One Ind got a lot of publicity and Dungey got some dam good looking gear as well as a nice paycheck. I don't think after this initial reaction blows over One will get their moneys worth from JL like they would have from Dungey

I am not saying his signing was a dirty tactic by either JL or One ind- he saw a big paycheck (and way to tweak Dungey) while One ind saw a great publicity surge. I was referring to JL's behavior towards Dungey last season and this as well. He just can not resist the chance to get into Dungeys face or head any way he can. Would you really want to have to sit down and pretend to be friends with a jerk like that as a team mate? Teammates might not like each other at times BUT they need to work as a unit for the team and not try to destroy each othertweek49 said:But how is being signed to the same team a dirty tactic?
Exactly- Spider had that same thing from both directions even though he wasn't the fastest by far. While racing his final season in B class there were many kids that when they saw him on the line right away told themselves they were racing for second place. They knew he was very consistant and capable of winning. Then when he moved to A class he would look down the line and mentally figure who was there and what place he would fit in. Strange thing he usually placed himself pretty close position wise often because he convinced himself he couldn't run with the other guys.whenfoxforks-ruled said:There is a point, where a mental edge is all you need. Ever crash bad, the next time you get in a similar situation, you think about it, you lose. I started a thread once about riding with a song "IN YOUR HEAD". The people that took it as riding with headphones was ridiculous! It is possible to beat people before you even put your bike on the starting gate! I knew a professional boxer once, he paid a guy to help keep him focused. And the proof is in the results. Where did JL finish round 2? Its one thing to fix your bike, figure a faster line, but once its in your head?
Indeed, Oldguy, indeed.oldguy said:. . . Teammates might not like each other at times BUT they need to work as a unit for the team and not try to destroy each other
