Official Team USA excuse thread here...

You got the thread title wrong, it's "it's hey everyone I'm a douche-bag." How's Australia doing?

Cool story bro?

deleted in 5... 4... 3... 2...

our no name rider chased down and almost beat Bagget, jus sayin

So I was wrong about USA been the best these last few years - The Euros are better than the USA - ISDE and MXDN - USA also ran

USA also left RV home. currently 2nd. or 5th. depending on which way you look at it.

and dare i bring up Stewart. the "fastest man on the planet".

The US is expected to win every year vs. the World. Where is the Australia excuses thread?

Nah, hopefully it will stay up.

Let them show their ass if they want.

Some funny shit!

No excuses....Impressed with the Germans

Can't win every year. Still, Team USA are putting on good rides.

here a point of view from the real expert lol
pride comes before a fall

It’s hard to bet against Team USA. And I’m not saying that because I’m overly patriotic. I don’t drive a big truck with an American flag waving in the breeze, nor do I have a bumper sticker that says, “USA: These Colors Don’t Run.” I am, however, realistic. Team USA is stacked with talent. There’s no denying that. Ryan Dungey should dismantle the best that Europe has to offer. He has spent a lot of time in the sand. More importantly, he’s consistently reliable (as well as reliably consistent). I don’t see him losing to Antonio Cairoli, Clement Desalle, Max Nagl or anyone else in the MX1 overall.
Blake Baggett has a year of experience racing the Motocross des Nations. He’s been in the pressure cooker, and he has survived. He’ll readily admit that last year’s Sunday showing could have gone better, but he learned what it takes to bring the Chamberlain Trophy home again. Do I think that he will win his individual overall? It’s possible. I fear that every rider, Dungey included, will have trouble keeping the Netherlands’ Jeffrey Herlings in sight. Never before have I heard so much pre-race hype about a rider that could potentially put a serious hurting on the rest of the field. Herlings and Lommel go together like peas and carrots.
Wild child Justin Barcia is the wild card. He doesn’t have any previous MXDN experience, nor has he raced on a 450 all year. Does this mean that I think he will struggle? Heck no! He’s Justin Barcia! I predict that he’ll put on a great show. Paint will be traded. Tempers might flare. And when all is said and done, Team USA will win. I predict that the hometown team, Belgium, will finish second with Clement Desalle, Jeremy van Horebeek and Ken de Dycker. Third is too close to call, but I’ll go with Germany (Max Nagl, Ken Roczen and Marcus Schiffer).

Waters really rules !

What will be his program for 2013 ??? Just curious.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut at the MXDN every few years, unless that squirrels name is Australia.

Too much exposure to techno music...

Seriously motodude I can not believe an Aussie started this thread.

I don't think we have every beaten America and the MXoN,

Yeah, sometimes it's worthwhile not taking the bait and leaving it up to show how incredibly jealous and lame some posters are.

It's nice you think of us like that.

No excuses......Kenny Rocz.....Nagl nailed it....Shiffer left many in the shitter

Then next year at Glen Helen the same will be said you those same GP riders "never raced this type of track before" I betn' USA and giving 20:1 odds! any one outside the US want that bet?

Hold that thought for a few years...Glen Helen's not until 2015.

Dang it must be a great situation to be in, I mean third step on the podium and others feel the U.S needs to make excuses.
Good job team septic, see you next year.
