Did anyone else wonder why Dungey was riding with hand-guards? Maybe hurt hand/fingers from last week?
He had that nasty heat crash last week, but I don't think he used them in the main.

dude needs to get a damn start
But, back on subject...I agree that the guards don't look pro-moto cool, but neither do smashed and broken fingers!
I wish Dungey would go train with Tomac. Forget the airshock or anything else. If he could just get a little bit of Tomac's aggression to rub off it would do wonders for his results. He has the talent and the speed but my gosh it's frustrating to watch him race behind Albertson, Weimer, Short, etc for lap upon lap upon endless lap. Maybe it's a byproduct of his secretiveness and choosing to train on his own most of the time rather than with other riders that he has to pass? I don't know but it's hard cheering for him because I loose my voice screaming at the tv.
How many big bike championships have you won?
Pit Row
Confidence in your equipment/set-up & the willingness to be aggressive when it counts. Those go a long way!
His lack of aggression isn't a secret...and should be obvious to even you, if you have watched more than once or twice. I'm not a mind reader though, and don't know what his hold up is...but one thing is for certain...something is.
I realize it's just your opinion and we all know what those are like...it's just funny to say it might keep him from any chance at a championship. We're 3 rounds in and things can change in a hurry. Look at RV, struggled the first 2 rounds (I use struggled loosely as 2nd in round 2 wasn't too bad) and then came out and made it look pretty easy in the 3rd. Or Barcia, won then took a dnf.
He'll do his thing and be there in the end ( I think). One thing is for certain that it sure is fun to watch with this much parity in the class.
