result is a rider who is forceful and
tough but knows how to be steady
and consistent at the same time—a
deadly combination for his competi-
tors. But had it not been for Barcia,
the 450 class would have been a
sleeper of a race up front.
"Barcia's going good," said Dung-
ey. "He's got some confidence from
winning the last two races and then
obviously beating me straight up at
Red Bud. There were some things

gets good starts and he opens up

"In the second moto I was about

happen real quick. I found myself
on Barcia and it took about four
or five laps I believe to get around
him, but once I was able to get

him all year, too, which perhaps
suggests a change in his strat-
egy over years past. Even with a
50-point lead coming into the race,
Dungey was throwing everything he
had at Justin Barcia, who grabbed
the holeshots in both motos, which
is something he really didn't have
to do, having such a large points
lead. But Dungey is out to win races
now, and instead of waiting for op-
portunities, he's making them. The
