I agree with all the above.

Competitors tend rise to the opportunity, hopefully we see that this season. RV is tough competition as he's fluid and has good stamina. Dungey has been somewhat complacent but he has Rodger DeCoster driving him now and the last two races he's been improving in the aggression department. (I'm pro KTM so there's some bias in my opinion) One thing that impressed me with Dungey in the last race was his fastest lap was his last, his conditioning is obviously there. Stewart is great entertainment though I'm not a fan due to perceived character and past actions. Really felt bad for Reed, I wasn't a fan due to his attitude when he was a factory rider, but since becoming an owner he's really stepped up his PR game. Hopefully the knee isn't career ending for him because he is one tough competitor that is good for the sport.

RV may run away, but there may be a couple challengers that rise to the occasion and make it an entertaining racing season.

I think Go Pro needs to strap a camera on KDub when he does those transfer jumps.

Those are friggin nuts!

wasn't the atlanta(?) jump like 116'? I think emig said that was 4th gear wide open to clear it. I can't believe anyone hasn't stepped up to challenge him. He's come a long way from the heel clickers of the past. I ran into kdub out at red bud about 8 years ago. Seemed like a super cool guy. I think he'll make it onto a podium this year. If there are any rain races, he's the guy.
