Ryan Villopoto and Ryan Dungey spoke about the Anderson pass on Roczen as well as many other things with Steve Matthes on PulpMX in a enjoyable conversation with the two former US champions.
On the Anderson pass that left Roczen on the ground and only finishing thirteenth after leading, Dungey said: “That’s not how I would have gone about but at the same time, everybody is different. It was hard racing, I don’t think it was crazy, crazy. He almost took himself down too, then there is the other risk of you put a hole in your case and you could have a DNF. That was a pretty hard hit.”
While Villopoto said: “My take on it was, Kenny I presume know Jason was behind him and he went outside and it’s sand, as we know the sand merges a lot of times. Could Jason have held it inside? Probably. Looking at it on TV I kind of fault Kenny for not knowing his whereabouts or leaving the door open. As racers you know when someone is behind you, our peripheral vision is really good.”
