Dungey - 2012 MX championship
Bagget - 2012 MX 250 championship
Barcia - 2012 MX 250 runnerup
it's a good thing Cairoli, Herlings, and Searle weren't on the same team

B team only because of injuries. A team for what we had to choose from.MattyVicious wrote: Send the b team, get b results.

You're both idiots. I'm with Peely. We sent a great team and two of the guys didn't perform, Dungey worse so than Baggett.MattyVicious wrote: Send the b team, get b results.

Agreed.Falcon wrote: Dungey won't ever say this, but you can see how much it hurts for him to have to hand over that trophy. Every podium picture I've seen so far has shown a great big lump in his throat. That kid looks like his dog just got run over by a truck.
I'll lay down odds right now that if Dungey is on team USA for 2013, there's going to be an epic ass-kicking coming from the Orange #7 or #9 bike.

Are you smart enough to buy a bike that costs less, weighs less, makes more horsepower per cubic centimeter, can be rebuilt for recycled aluminum can money and is giggle inducing? It is hard to believe that the American riding public flunks this test en masse. How stupid are you?

Baggett first moto was technically the third place MX2 rider (second was jeremy van horebeek) other than kenny most of the MX2 riders got HORRIBLE starts first moto. Second moto Baggett got 2nd out of the MX2 guys only being beat by Kenny who was 4th overall that race with baggett 6th. Roger, Mitch and most others interviewed thought he did quite well considering that... Not allot more to ask for out of our MX2 rider. Baggett represented well.Whoops_Blitzer wrote: This seems like a tremendous waste of time, but I want to see if I'm remembering things correctly so what the hell.
So there was this one guy, Barcia. I think he was leading qualifying or something when Herlings blew by him. Barcia gave chase and ended up in a fence, wedged up close to these plywood barriers, dug himself in with the rear wheel. Chuck Sun came to the rescue, lifted the fence so Barcia could ride under, and Barcia rode to another section of the track to reenter, hopped the fence and did a sweet superman when his feet came off the pegs. He was then DQ'd, either for outside assistance or cutting the track, depending on who you ask.
m1: Dungey started ok, rode around in 7th or 8th, passed up to like 6th, got behind Roczen, KR pulled away, Dungey later fell coming through the "wave section" and finished 7th. Baggett with a shit start, passed up to 14th or something, fell, back to 20th, finished 14th. May have fallen more than that.
m2: Barcia started well, Herlings took off, DeDyker was in 2nd, he and Barcia raced and came together in a corner. DeDyker was like WTF, BRO?? Barcia remounted and got swarmed by like 3 dudes or maybe 4 dudes. Barcia's 5th on the last lap and we see him on the ground. Herlings rides around him to put him 1 down. He picks his bike up and immediately falls again. We see the front wheel is locked up, so he pushes it off to the pits, which is apparently right there where he fell (lucky). They get his wheel rolling and he rides the rest of the way to the finish line for 14th with the engine still smoking from pushing the jammed wheel. We find out Barcia broke some spokes in his collision with KD. I still don't know if he fell again and THEN the wheel locked up, or if suddenly it just stopped rolling and then he fell. Baggett got lapped for the 2nd time in two races, finished 6th, fell who knows how many times.
m3: Dungey started maybe 2nd, Cairoli was gone, Barcia passed into 3rd then got up alongside Dungey in a pretty long, straight section, Dungey sort of slid in right behind him, Barcia hit something weird and sort of looked like he might fall for a second, Dungey may have freaked out and shut off the throttle, causing him to lose control and fly sideways off the track and through some more fences. Or he just hit something funny and crashed on his own, depending on who you ask. Barcia rode awesome the rest of the way and didn't try to race Herlings when he flew by. I thought Dungey got lapped, but peeps are saying he didn't.
Apparently team USA, riders included, wasn't too confident after the first moto. And for good reason. We lost. The end.
This Baggett guy ain't cutting it internationally. Shoulda sent Tomac.
p.s. I predicted months ago we wouldn't win a moto. i am a genius.

Who knows,they might have done better,but as henry says,the Euro sand tracks like Lommel etc are pretty brutal,only once did a US rider get within a minute of Cairoli and Herlings but hindsight is a wonderful thing,every team had their problems tooMattyVicious wrote: Send the b team, get b results.
