i think RV would have won had Millsaps not crashed in front of him. having said that, RV's fastest lap was only .03 seconds faster than RD's fastest lap of the race. RD was on pace and didn't have to ride all 20 at 100%. after he gapped Weimer by a good amount, he just needed to ride the remaining laps smart.

might have been a good battle if RV wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time. both of them have to be happy tonight!

KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, whatever.  Nice job #5, and you still remain a class act.

LMAO!!!! good one!!!!!

Villopoto got spanked just like Dungey did last week, get over it.  Dungey For the WIN!!!

"Dungey isn't gonna do as well on that KTM as he did on the Suzuki."

Yeah right, Decoster will dig up the iron ore himself and build a podium capable bike from absolute scratch if he has to. But wait! Dungey better be able to get himself mentally prepared without Decoster a few years from now, or else.......

Dungey and KTM did well tonight, congrats. RV also kicked ass, a few more laps and it would have been different but whatever reference the aunt and uncle balls comment earlier,, that is hard to one up;) Best of all Stewart crashes AGAIN,, what a shocker.
Joe......

Congrats to Dungey!

I'll admit he pulled out a win faster than I expected.  I am happy to see it.  As a bonus, it keeps the points tight.  Very cool that Weimer was up there too.

I'm not gonna "what if" this one.  'poto didn't win it, he pulled out an impressive 3rd.  But, he also made a mistake in the heat, didn't recover well from that, and had a bad gate pick that put him back in the pack where something bad can happen, and it did.  That's racing.

RD and RV are tied in points for 1st  Jake and Reed are tied also

Congrats to Dungey and Ktm. I think Dungey is the most consistant rider in the bunch and typically doesn't ride over his head, I think that's why he in the running for each championship. Requardless, it makes for some of the best racing. Short is looking good as well. Congrats to Windham as well. Always nice to see him towards the front.

KTM Dominates off road now they're finally getting a good shot at doing the same in American SX! Thats what RD+RD can do for you. It is clear that KTM is willing to do whatever it takes and i commend them for it . I wish the japanese manufacturers were half as responsive to customers, like lifting their apparent freeze on 2 stroke developement. yep went there. my bad. Back on track, WAY TO GO Dungey/Decoster/KTM!!!!

RD5 didnt just win, he won by like 8sec, didnt he? RV2 had a hell of a come-back ride from dead last. That kid (RV2)is the new RC. Dont hate, I am just making an observation.

By the way RD was riding in the heats, I told my wife there was no way he was gonna win tonight. He looked off the pace for sure. Thats the only time in 8yrs that I was actually happy when my wife said "you're wrong". LOL

from when the gate drops and the checkers fly, everything else in between is racing!
excuses are just that!

Congrates to Dungey and for KTM's first win in the 450 class!!!!

Way to go Dungey,,,,,,,also its great to see Weimer up front!!

KTM had a great night. RD showed he has what it takes to podium on top wtih the new bike and Marvin Musquin proved he can be a threat in the lites with his impressive Second. As for RV, what the hell can you say about that guy, he is a focused machine this season and had an insane ride for third.What a great race night and my orange colored glasses will be on all week lol.

Go Dungey!!

Keep your pants on. It was bound to happen and Villopoto had an off night. Did he win on a 350? Or did KTM decide to junk yet another idea? Oh and was it the bike or the rider? Seems to me everyone has been saying for years for KTM to get a better lead guy and presto they do. Seems like most people told KTM to junk the 350 and quit trying to reinvent the wheel. They did and went back to the 450.

I am not too sure why all the giddy posts, I mean Chad Reed won with a budget that was a darn sight smaller than KTMs. The posts say a whole lot of "in-your-face-haters", when in reality they are demonstrating a whole lot of relief. The crow KTM groupies ate over the 350 debacle and the utter waste of money and resources being channeled by the Austrian outfit, yet they couldn't manage even a fluke win...you know they happen all the time...when the leaders have a bad day.

Glad to see KTM finally break in with a win, I was beginning to worry if they failed to be competitive again this year they would pull-out all together.
