I just want to high light this comment from mag23 and hope the people who run this forum do something !!!
The man who started this thread is called Mohammed, so this brain dead fool who calls him self mag23 thought he could write what he did !!!
I feel this is a bot taste less and not what I read Motocross forums for.
This isn't your typical motocross forum. If it really bothers you, slide your tampon back in and try another forum.

We went back and forth with emails and he joked that he really DOES like ravioli, so he didn't mind that part. And he earned a lot of respect from me by just sending me an email and explaining what happened. That was classy... and funny. His misconstrued words started all of this so lets just call it a wash, okay? Should be good racing in CO.
Still, my money is on the US lites guys killing it at Thunder Valley.
Pit Row
Pretty amazing that his 4 world titles don't get your respect......pretty embarassing for you to go on a rant like you did too saying Short is better than Cairoli and that Dungey is vastly superior to Cairoli... you do realise Tony beat Dungey and Reed last year....if GP riders are so inferior life you infere...why do you hire BT....
BT beat Dungey at Hangtown too as did De Dycker in a moto.... Dungey is awesome but not unbeatable... same goes for Cairoli.. but if Dungey is going to beat Cairoli anywhere it should be Colorado. I wonder if you would be as arrogant if the race was being held in Leirop....
Then he says pretty much the same thing he did in his original interview... that Dungey was one of the best ...and that you can't compare...of course that was totally ignored by the patriotic chest beaters in America who could not believe Tony does not think Dungey is vastly superior to every other rider on the planet.... but it is the same every year the AMA champ is on a different planet to the world champ... it is just too hard to accept they are pretty similar.
I think Canard, Pourcel, Roczen and Musquin are as talented and fast as Dungey if they where in the same class.. especailly in a World series...so what it was implied Tony said may not be too far off the mark... only one of the top lites guys in the world is American the rest are European anyway....Roczen and Musquin will give the AMA guys all they can handle.. it should be close...
Lucky Tony has a sense of humour and isn't easily offended by people who can't see facts past nationalism....
It ok... you can admit Cairoli is as good as Dungey.. it is not unpatriotic to admit that...
Roczen and Musquin are in a league of their own because they are two special talents... David Bailey compared Musquin to Pourcel at Glen Helen because he is so special...and Roczen is as good as them already....
To be fair to Tony he only lost to tyla in 2008 because of injury he was the fastest... he was the fastest in 2006 too...and beat pourcel the other two years..
I think in the USA Trey can run with Rozen and Musquin...but it will be close.. personally I hope Dean wins and helps get GB a podium
I love US MX/SX....
I think what AC said just came out wrong, it seems to me that the riders on both side of the pond respect each other (see Canard's column in the latest RAcerX, Towney's comments on the USGP on TWMX, DV and SH's comments here on Vital).
And just as as you find cool that Ping stood up for the American series, I think it is understandable that the World Champion objects that the AMA Nationals Champion is sold by the American press as the fastest guy. In support of my opinion that AC's statement just came out wrong is the fact that AC doesn't say he is the fastest.
By the way, any chance that MX Sports or the AMA supports a reform of the format of MXdN to make it similar to the Ryder Cup?
