First of all, congrats to Germany and Belgium - both teams rode very well and deserve their finishes.

Also, nice job by AC on his first solid showing at an MXdN - really blew the doors off of everyone short of Herlings. Herlings, however, I think would have won pretty handily had he not finished the first lap in 28th. Both riders were on a whole other level.

Now on the the USA team. Wow... that was ugly from the beginning. Ryan Dungey was terrible. I think he made maybe 3 passes in all of his races combined? Very, very disappointing appearance from him. Baggett was alright - his second moto was much better than his first. Barcia was good and bad - I have no idea what the hell was going through his head in his first moto when he ran straight into DeDyker (I think it was). Also, I don't know whether Dungey went down completely on his own or if part of it was from Barcia getting squirrelly in front of him, but either way maybe make your pass in a smarter place. His second moto was a very solid showing, though.

Gotta love the boo's from the crowd when USA was announced on the podium. You stay classy Europe

I was just going to say the same thing. The last times in the USA for MXDN everyone on the podiums got mad love from the crowd. Last year in France and this year we get boos. Fucking classy, and I am sure most of them are posters here.

Yeah, Herlings and AC are pretty impressive in the sand. It would seem they would not stuggle that bad over here as we would over there overall. Granted, our top guys would probably win on the harder tracks over there but really struggle in the sand whereas they are still good on the hard stuff so would do better over here. So I guess that would make them better all around but only cause they ride that stuff. Its a little bit of humble pie for sure.

Cheering when someone comes off is just as bad IMO. I'm sure there was booing there; I never watched the interviews from that race.

Heck, you can hear people shouting shit out at riders at every week of the nationals. People telling Roczen to go back to Germany. Even Dungey gets heckled.

All I'm saying is, don't act like saints.

I'm extremely happy to see the GP riders beat the National riders and for America to lose the title (just being honest here), however there should remain an certain level of respect - after all, it only means so much in the first place because America has been so strong. Booing the riders was so fu@king lame! It's not like Ryan, Blake and Justin can help what people type. Show some respect God damn it!

But having said that it thankfully didn't last long. Idiots in every country and on both sides of this National vs GP thing I guess.

Great rides by the Germans and Belgians. They earned it! KTM was impressive across the board as well.Not sure what to say about team USA. Dungey is clearly capable of riding fast, but he has consistently shown he has a weakness when it comes to passing. Did he have bike problems after his wreck?? Barcia was pretty solid and Baggett was okay. In the end they were schooled in the sand, the results speak for themselves.

Big difference in Roczans crash because he was battling with Trey and it was for first. They didn't boo they cheered because Trey was now in first.

The crowd booing is classless. We have shit heads here too that boo our own guys but doesn't take away the way the crowd acted. Like I said, the last few MXDN's here brought rounds of applause for everyone.
