Right. How many countries do the US Nationals visit? How many countries do the GPs visit? The kind of geography and math a toddler could understand.tonyb wrote: He is the European Champion! It should not be called a world championship!

I regret my username, I chose it before I realized that the pro 2 stroke crowd on vital mx are completely and utterly insane.
Don't worry about what other people think, they don't do it very often.

If you knew much about geography you would know that the USA is aslmost as large as Europe and many of the states are as larger or larger than some of the European countries. It does not come to the states and many other countries. It is a GP series and until all the best riders in the world compete in one series, no matter where it is held, it will never be The World Champioinship Series! It is a European Series, nothing more and nothing less! They can call it whatever they want to, but a World Championship Series it is NOT!

Not that it will change your opinion, but Europe isn't the only continent in the series.tonyb wrote: He is the European Champion! It should not be called a world championship!

And I thought you might be joking. First off the GP's do come to the states, just not every year. And just because they speak Spanish in Mexico and Portuguese in Brazil does not make these countries European or make it a "European Championship" And who gives a shit about the size of the countries? Have you been to Europe, or even outside of Texas? Sweden is very different from Bulgaria and Brazil is very different from Latvia. Please quit embarrassing your fellow Americans.tonyb wrote: He is the European Champion! It should not be called a world championship!

Herlings is an incredible rider and worked his ass off to win this championship, good for him. There is amazing racing and awesome racers in both series. Just chill out and enjoy.

Agreed. They were the WC back when us Americano's couldnt race our way out of a paperbag. We use to go over there if we wanted to be known as the best in the world. Just because the tables have turned in that respect and the faster guy's are over here now they arent the World Championship's anymore? Make sure you tell Brad Lackey he was never a World Champbarrs211 wrote: What a twat.

Good post. Luongo & Co maybe butchering it, but it is still THE world champion ship and has been since 1957. I really hope RV does ride them. Would set a great precident for US Champions. I also wish AC would pack his bags and do a season in the Nationals.chrisbuehler wrote: Agreed. They were the WC back when us Americano's couldnt race our way out of a paperbag.
