"it would be nice to put an end to all the talk", he said speaking to Racer x, he also talks about he grew up riding sand until he was fifteen. They will be riding Lommel before the race and getting a good few days on the sand, those guys will have had plenty of time to adapt. It isn't going to shock them.

Dungey will be right there I think with the top sand riders.

The Belgian team better find some arrogance to take on the US if they want to win the team event.

Dungey is my favourite rider, so I think think he will do well, not sure who will win though.

Hopefully none of them and team GB pull a 1994 Laughing They have a strong team this year.

I think Herlings fans are starting to be alot like JS7 fans...making him out to be the greatest thing to walk the earth...and in turn are making me hope that he gets his a$$ handed to him....and I really don't have anything against him as a rider...but his fans are getting annoying.....imo of course....

Oh my gosh, I can hear it now. No matter what happens, Vital is going to be very annoying for a while after that race.

If only we had European sand here in the United States instead of this crummy US sand, then we would really be able to show Herlings..............

It's Belgian sand at the Des Nations not European sand. Other European countries do not have sand like this except Holland.

Europe is not a a country. It is hard for riders from other countries to go fast in it too, unless they decide to live there and learn.

I wouldn't worry. I've been told many times that Southwick is just like Lommel.




"it would be nice to put an end to all the talk" What or where is this talk coming from? The internet? People around Ryan?......

Really? The Euro cheerleader's have been out in full force all year nevermind the past couple month's. And that's just on this forum nevermind all over the racing scene. You think trashtalk is exclusive to Vital?

And the US cheerleaders are always out in full force. Trashtalk aint exclusive to EU fans either.

This is already the best MXdN, ever!

Difference is Americans try to say their series and American riders are better.

Whereas people who watch both say they are pretty similar in quality, but also very different so it is tough to compare.

Saying that a GP rider can beat an American rider, isn't saying that GP riders are better. It is pointing out that GP riders can beat the Americans, proving that they are all a similar level, because everyone outside America knows how good the Americans are.

However, If an American wins, Americans think it proves Americans are superior to "Euros" and as a consquence the World Championship.

Like Dave Thorpe said " they (US) talk themselves up, and talk us (GP Riders) down" That is the crux of the problem, add to the fact a lot of American's don't even watch the GP races. So a lot of time they are claiming to be better without even watching much of the GP series.

In reality they are all great riders of very similar ability.

Herlings is going to go away confused like Cairoli did when he tried to race RV at buds creek... or like Marc De Reuver did when he raced JS at southwick in 08 Caroli may be a handful for RD though.

I live in florida too but most of the mx guys in florida ride tracks that are not sandy. there are tracks like gatorback and hardrock that are packed limestone. most of the dirt up in the tallhassee/south georgia area is red clay. I've had a few florida mx guys chase us off road and they struggled in the sand.

I def agree. Myself personally, I appreciate both series. I like to throw a jab in here and there just to stir some shit but if you've read any of my post you know I have total respect fot the GP heavy hitter's. The GP fan's have been out in force this year though and for good reason, they have their best chance in years to get some bragging rights. I hope it doesnt blow up in their faces though, this place is gonna lock up should JH fold up like a lawnchair

Personally I am not sure Herlings will win, does he have the speed? Yes absolutely he is the fastest.

But he has so much pressure on him to do well for Holland it is crazy, they have an outside chance of winning, he basically has to win both his motos to give them a shot at the podium, or even a win (if the old De Reuver shows up and Coldenhoff rides like he did a Lierop). He has no margin for error, and you can bet Cairoli does not want him to beat him in that third moto, nevermind Dungey, especially since Herlings will have no rest in between compared to them.

Nevermind Herlings, I want GB to win it all!

Don't forget the GP guys are racing against each other for their countrues just as much as the Americans.

I think this will be Team GB's best shot in a long time. I just hope the 450 Max will be riding won't be a lemon.

I think he will be very fast and suprise some people. I bet he wants to beat Barcia lol I hope he stays on though! Searle should be good on the 450. Just need Nicholls to get a solid moto in.

If it was me, I would have put Anstie and Shaun on 450s and Tommy on the 250.

Either way it is a strong team with very solid riders who are all good in the sand.
