hes no top5 here tho....he wasn't even on kroc's radar last year. and look where kenny's at. gimme a break. searle struggled here as well, ANYONE saying a euro = top 5 here is a joke. Come do a full season and then we'll let you know.
Here is my feelings on being a fan of something. I don't mind a little banter before the contest/game but once it's over I don't care for the rubbing someones nose in it. If my teams wins you will not hear shit from me and I don't really like to hear shit from the other fans either but I can only control what i say and do.
I like good racing. Sure, I want to see America win but I'm not naive enough to think we are the best everyday and everywhere. I really think JH will pull a Villipoto at this years Des Nations. Only difference is everyone knows JH is capable of doing it, Villipotos was a total surprise and he also didn't declare himself King of Anything. Matter of fact he was quite humble about it. Lets see if the same can be said of JH after he does it. History says he won't be as humble about but I hope he does. He is a kid though so either way I won't hold it against him. Kids say stupid shit and we shouldn't expect any different even if he is world champion.
Either way I'm ready for it to happen, althought it makes me have to get up VERY early in the A.M on my days off. LOL.
Alot of misinformed American fans here for sure.

The Euro fan boys told us how Barcia, Bagget etc wouldn't be close to Musquin this year and that he wouldn't only beat the AMA crew, but he'd rub dirt in our faces. They also said Ken Roc was the second coming of Christ and he'd destroy the AMA crew. I mean they won WORLD championships and we only have a crummy national series. Now they claim that the Euros are struggling to adapt to race in a single series, but before they could adapt to a new country every week? These kids live and race here now so cut the crap they can't adapt.
They have to adapt to a new country every week? Hmm did not know they lived in every country they race in. Must be hard changing culture every week. Altough i don't think the pit culture changes every week tough.
We saw a very, very talented Austin Politelli at the Zwarte Cross (a local dutch race) and he couldn't win.
Europeans are doing that shit all the time, going to a hotter envoirment, going to a country that they don't know and where they don't speak there language and besides that they only know the tracks from television, internet and magazines.
But yeah:
As long as it's good racing and they put on a show we can all be happy, this shit could be argued about for forever and a day.
I also get that Herlings is outstanding and one of the elite riders of the world, regardless of how deep or shallow his competition is right now, and regardless of what surface he's racing on, and that it's more likely that he'll win both motos in his backyard on his favorite surface than it was that RV would win both motos in his own backyard at Budd in 07.
What you and your dumbass brother don't get is that writing nonsense like the Dutch Nationals are the equivalent of the US outdoor pro championship (which isn't even sanctioned by the FIM's US federation) make you look like idiots. There's no equivalency. GP Champions don't quit the GPs in their prime to race the Dutch Nationals. There's a way to make your point without eroding it because you use a stupid, inapt example. Your brother thinks his rhetoric makes him look clever, when in fact he looks like a dope writing that nonsense and it make the rest of what he has to say less credible.
kenny doesn't have anyone covered here. he's fast but he aint got the speed or the endurance of baggett or tomac. if that isn't evident after 11 races, then i don't know what to tell you. KROC is a top 5 rider and he can win on any given day. Now put Herlings in there, where does he fit? and quit blowing smoke up our ass.
Hype up Carioli, Carioli gets smoked.
Hype up Townley, Townley gets smoked.
Hype up Rattray, Rattray gets smoked.
Hype up Musquin, Musquin gets smoked.
Hype up Roczen, Roczen gets smoked.
See a pattern?
Pit Row
Must admit I expected more from Roczen but time will tell. Maybe that injury coming into the season hurt more than we know. Or he needs to find out what exactly what Tomac's training regime is. So he can step it up. That group sure is competitive to say the least.
The only thing you is miss is in the world champs everyone has to fly to a different country for each round so unless its your home round ALL the riders are affected. It kinda levels the playing field.
When a euro comes to the USA every round is new, the country he lives in is new. To all the home guys its business as usual every week on familiar tracks.
So tell me.....if Roczen was winning the title last year over there and beating Herlings , then comes over here a year later and mixes it up in top 5.......why do you all of a sudden think Herlings is faster?
Sand track.....you are probably right. On a "Dirt" track....he wouldn't get a whif of a top 5 over here.
Pilot fucking nailed it out of the park with that post!
All he was saying was, when you race in your own country's championship your going to have and advantage over a foreigner trying to race it, he wasn't trying to say its the same level
can u give me also a list of top US riders whith the balls to race over here (and not at the MXDN)
pretty sure townley done good in the AMA when he was racing for pro circuit?
Rattray is still racing the AMA right? and does he always get smoked? no ...
musquin just got his first overall am i not right? so you call that getting smoked? if you do you must be a faggot !
and roczens first year racing in the ama and hes already won a race and been on the podium through out the championship.... and you still call that getting smoked?
Your an idiot ! get over it... america arent unbeatable so get your head out your arse !
and as @henry zweers said "give us a list of US riders that have come and raced out in Europe" there isnt alot of them that have is there? no ... because they are out of their comfort zone which they dont like !
