I learned from guyb's clean-up effort that Sand (or Snails) In the Vagina Syndrome is not a valid excuse. I'd blame it on the rocks, rain and the traction control system that Stewart loaned to the USMXdN team.

I know I am what are you , ha ha ha

There is no excuse for winning.
Best excuse would have been "The Green Fencing", but no one ran into it. That stuff is the worst ever. You may not have a crash or a mechanical, but the fencing put up by the governing body can take you out.

Notice the green Acerbis markers? That was the first time that I saw them at an FIM event. (Watch out, here comes The Rock)

How about this? The Swedish "fastests" rider Noren who making 15-20 spots pretty regular in Nats. He's Honda standard frontwheel exploded when landing the biggest downhill jump! Not even the Jamaican bobteam had that piece of crap on their Wooden bobsleighs? Villopotos left footpeg costed more than Swedens team-bikes together. They have better bikes on Tahiti. And the last excuse. If you think AMA acting crazy about MX? Svemo is totally retarded. See the results from Swedish riders now and then. We are not aloud today to have waves, whoop, big double, absolute no triple etc etc. Russia is a free country compared to Swede MX.
Could another perspective be Sweden has actual MX tracks instead of the hybrid SX/MX outdoor tracks we have in the US and increasingly in other parts of the world? Is your injury rate lower due to your track design and mandatory spinal protection? In the US it is apparent the powers to be are fine with racers wearing only jerseys. What is this....1981?

For the record I don't want to see tracks that resemble smooth scrambles tracks we had in the early 70s but I'm NOT a fan of outdoor SX tracks. They should consider changing the name from MX if this hybridization continues IMO.

Best MX tracks (as in true MX tracks) I've seen in the last few years are the Canadian National tracks.

if the "i was stuck in third" you are on about was herlings, well you can't really call it an excuse when he came second and beat RV on a bike which he had limited experiance on
seems like Herlings maybe should have kept his bike in 3rd for the 2nd MX Open race as well.........25 seconds
