karterron said:Reminds me of all the talk about Everts. How he is faster than this guy based on beating that guy. In the end, it meant nothing.
Do you really want to compare Alessi's supercross career to Klatts? Last year in the West, Alessi's results were 9th, 10th, 7th, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. Overall finish 4th overall and 2nd Outdoors.LazyBoy said:Mike Alessi.
I was referring to all the GOAT talk, who was better RC or Everts. The fans made a bigger deal of it than Everts, he openly admits Ricky is faster.Chili said:You're right he walked away from Stewart after all that talk. :nener:
karterron said:Would you like to compare Dungey now to Klatt? This is his first time at Supercross also. He is a top 5 Outdoor rider as he showed last year. How did he do in his first SX? How has Klatt done? Where is all this extra speed going to miracously come from?
Talent rises, no matter what the series is.
So doesn't that make your argument about Klatt vs Lange mute?Chili said:You need to check Dungey's outdoor results before you climb on that train. 7th OA at his home track in a mudfest followed by a 15th, 21st and 26th make him a top 5 rider? BTW the guy that finished 5 seconds behind Dungey even though he stalled his bike would get smoked by Klatt outdoors. And with all due respect to Dungey's first win take a peak at the lineup he beat, my guess is he'd have been lucky to get a top 8 in a west round.
I would agree with what you have to say. I think Dungey will be top 5 Outdoors, but you're right some guys stuggle their first year. Based on that, I could see him top 10.JST122 said:I dont think Lange would have handled him easily, after all Dungey finished with a solid 5 second cushion, and the only reason that Lange finished second was because Townley's bike grenaded and he had to drop out of the race. Also, Alessi, Laninovich, and Hahn all crashed.
But I have to agree, Dungey was definitely not a top 5 guy last year in MX, but I wouldnt expect a rookie entering the series after Millville to be top 5 anyway. We'll see how Dungey does this weekend and see if he can prove that Atlanta wasnt a fluke. Although in my opinion he is the real deal, Decoster wouldnt have signed him if he wasnt. As far as motocross goes, Dungey would be doing really well if he is top 10 this year outdoors in his first full pro season, but I still dont think he is a top 5 guy when the entire lites field is racing. That doesnt mean he wont get some top 5 finishes, I believe he is capable of that but probably not consistently.
In my opinion, the west series has a deeper talent pool than the east this year. But in any event the East/West Shootout and the Lites MX series are going to be real exciting this year and it is going to be interesting to see how the talent pool shakes out.

Chili said:I was with ya until the last sentence, no one is going to keep Poto in check unless perhaps Townley remembers how to stay on the bike for more than 2 weeks at a time.
