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

The Shop
Can you blame them? We have for so many years it just became repetitive after the god knows how many times.
I have a feeling Team USA will have the last laugh in Germany next year though.
also, dont act like americans dont boo. they boo our own riders.
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.
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.
Pit Row
I'm guessing you've never been to race before? Please tell me more....
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.
Except seeing us lose. Lol.
US battled hard, no shame in that performance at all.
It's pretty cool to think that someone from the other side of the world is always thinking about me, thanks !!!
