Ryan Dungey (born December 4, 1969) is an American professional motocross racer competing in the AMA Supercross and Motocross championships. Ryan Dungey is the current 450cc class Monster Energy Supercross champion and AMA 450 Motocross Champion.
Born in Belle Plaine, Minnesota , Ryan Dungey currently resides in Tallahassee, Florida, with his wife Lindsay Dungey. He currently rides for the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer, KTM, on their premiere North American factory racing team, RedBull KTM. Ryan Dungey trains with legendary trainer Aldon Baker and is mentored by Red Bull KTM team manager, Roger DeCoster. Ryan Dungey has the distinction of being one of the few professional motocross athletes to turn pro directly from the "B" class in amateur racing; a feat that has not been successfully accomplished many times.
Dungey has won every major title in American Motocross and Supercross. Dungey has also been crowned the champion of the world's largest international motocross race, the Motocross des Nations, three times. In total, Ryan Dungey currently has six major AMA championships which place him among the best motocrossers of all time. Dungey is in 7th place in all-time 450 supercross race wins (27) and 6th place in all-time supercross combined wins (39). In motocross, Dungey is in 2nd place in all-time 450 motocross overall wins (38) and 3rd place in all-time combined motocross overall wins (45). Finally, Ryan Dungey is tied in 4th place (w/Villopotto) in all-time combined Supercross and Motocross wins with 72 total race wins. Apart from his championships, Dungey is known for his friendliness, charity work, consistent podium finishes and near-textbook riding style.
2010 Season
Ryan Dungey's Rookie Season was predicted to be a 6-10 finish season in Supercross Standings. James Stewart was the heavy favorite coming off of his 2nd Monster Energy Supercross Championship. Dungey's season started off strong with leading most of the first race of the season until James Stewart made the pass. Dungey did battle back though and almost made a last lap pass. Dungey came back strong with 2 straight wins in round 2 and round 3. Dungey went on to win 6 races that season and in turn became the second rookie ever to win the Supercross Championship as a Rookie. Jeremy McGrath "King of Supercross" was the only other rider to do so.
Ryan had a slow start to his AMA motocross season. The first race was at Hangtown,(a writers note here) is that he has yet to win this event. The 2nd Round was a little better but he did not hit his stride until Round 3. From round 3 on, Dungey won 10 straight overalls and captured his first AMA Lucas Oil Motocross 450 Championship.
