Great shot! I've always liked Townley. I'm guessing he's over being injured and is living with that thought of,"Wow,I used to be close to RV speed" and things just haven't panned out. He keeps getting hurt and so much has been said about his potential that it's probably eating at him. Then, Mikey takes his line away and takes him down at the USGP. I'll bet he is just seething. But it looks like cooler heads prevail again and BT ended up wadding himself?. It's cool when you see guys like Dungey ,Canard,Pourcel,and Rattray who rarely get too rattled and just never give up,but just take what the track or the day in particular has to offer. Poking the US in the eye with a stick is not historically a good choice.Wink

Didn't he take Short out at a national recently as well? I like Townley, but what the hell was he thinking on this one? Come on Townley, we know you want it but your going to loose fans this way! Get him in control Ping.

Wasn't Townley crying earlier this year when Alessi got into him? Alessi's move wasn't even a clean out - this surely was. FU from me too, BT.

Still inconclusive. How do we know short didn't move over and lose it on his own? Seriously.

Look, I'm not blind here, but I just cant stand when people talk shit about a rider before knowing the facts, and even then, if there was contact whats the huge deal here? Contact is an every day occurrence in motocross. Short got up and continued, US won the MXoN. Wtf is the problem? You guys need to stop crying about BT, DeCoster, Cairoli etc etc etc and enjoy your victory.

Whens the last time we Canadians got to spray champagne from the mxon podium? .....



Right! Now stfu already! Tongue

I was surprised it happened considering Townley's whining about Alessi and his riding at the USGP.

Luckily karma bit him in the ass the next moto, and he just gave up.

The inside isn't always faster, but sometimes they are able to make the pass on the inside by BONZAI'ing one lap and making the pass, something you dont wanna do every lap tho.

What do you want for conclusive evidence. We have a pic, we have announcers claiming a major take-out, we have video. Anything else needed? The big deal was it could have cost us the OA at the most important (IMO) race of the year. Short could have gotten hurt, etc., etc.

This is exactly what happened from my perspective.

If anything for BT it was a bad decision that happened to work out for him.

The pic shows nothing, the vid shows nothing, and the announcers saw the same vid as we did, which showed nothing.

Quoted the wrong post. SFA left the door open. His lines were not good before and after the finish line

Not for nothing but Matthes said he spoke to a "non American" who said it was dirty.

"pulpmx-Talked to team guy who saw close video of bt short deal and he said really, really dirty. And he's not American!"

I don't think it was an intentional takeout.
