to beat his former teammate Roczen
overall, but he finished just behind
Roczen in all three main events.
While it's not the end of the world, it's
certainly not the type of thing Dungey
wanted as he heads into two and a
half months of training and testing
with no races.
Also, Dungey has never won the

to come.
Chad Reed has
come full circle

just his first race
on his Monster
Energy –backed
YZ450F.
