Ryan Dungey

Also on the hunt all afternoon was Ryan Dungey, who is one of the few riders up front in the 250 class that doesn’t spend several days per week riding and testing at Glen Helen. Dungey worked through the pack in moto one to find himself in the lead, only to be passed by the passive Frenchman Christophe Pourcel. In moto two, Dungey was the one doing the passing of Frenchmen, as he worked his way past Pourcel, Barcia, Canard and Rattray before finally getting the lead and riding away. It was an impressive effort in an unbelievably talent-filled class, and Ryan looked genuinely proud of himself after the race.
