Wow Dungey got away with an easy victory tonight, made a real good start and held it on. Didnt think Dungey would have won this early in the season on the new bike. what an awesome achievement for KTM. its been a long time coming!
RV was really impressive again. he came through from so far back - it reminded me of what stewart used to be.
Stewart wasnt really impressive again, before his crash he looked like he was getting into a groove but after just looked plain jane..
Reedy looked good, but didnt look like he was pushing - his heat race was sick.
Mossy pulled a bone head move, but i think he was just a little over excited - really loved the aggressive riding he looked good, but just went way too far into that corner..
Shame about Mackie good chance he could have made it in to that main from the LCQ..
I missed what happend to Ryan marmont, but saw him go over the berm.. damn it.
Metcalfe looked good at this race.

Stoked for the Dunge, I like when gambles pay off. Surely gotta be the first box ticked in he and KTM's partnership... Villopoto was ultra impressive again though!
Tough night for the Aussies, but this is what keeps us coming back 17 times a year - waiting to see them piece the puzzle together for some podiums and wins.

Super stoked for Dungey and KTM, he took a big chance signing with KTM and a chance that alot of other top riders were too scared to take.
Also stoked for Weimer to be on the podium, Kenny Watson (H&H Team manager) had a $1000 bet with someone that Weimer wouldn't get on the podium through the year, so he's $1000 poorer!!!
Cool to see Canard get through the night unscaved in 7th as well..
