In the 2015 Daytona Supercross By Honda, KTM rider Ryan Dungey, who had posted four podium finishes in the Daytona Supercross By Honda since 2010, finally broke through with his first career win in the grueling and challenging event.

“I had never won this race and it’s really special,” Dungey said. “We need to really enjoy these wins. To be able to finally win here … I’ve been here so many times.”

Dungey will be aiming for back-to-back victories in 2016 against a wide-open field of riders including Eli Tomac, Trey Canard, Chad Reed and Ken Roczen.
