I wonder why Dungey faded so bad? He was all over 5th and 6th then dropped like an anchor. That was a helluva good ride for Bam Bam to come back to 11th after the 1st run melee.
The track is probably something they dont have over their in the usa....bit like lommel! :p

Don´t know, but I saw Joel Smets ask fans to keep their mouths shut, but that was just before the national anthem, so who knows.

Hope they swallow the pride and the loose the weight (of all of you US guys) on their shoulders and join the afterparty like regular human beings. Of course they are expected to win but, hey, it´s a race!

The US MXdN team is more and more like "Ivan Drago" (Rocky 4), machines with no feelings, lighten up up dammit!

Wow way to hate on an American Motocross Champion!

Would like to know who you guys would have sent over instead of Dungey!

Great win by Belgium, Great second place by the U.S.A and Italy rounded off the podium nicely.

Aussies in 4th is Awesome.

One of, if not the best MXoN I have watched, it all come down to the last lap of the last moto.

Tomac, Roczen, Cairoli, and De-Dycker all put in fantastic rides as well as Aussie rider Dean Ferris.

only 12 months until the next one.

Embarassing is just a way way to week word for that!

This is just a sport, and they showed bad behauviour at it's best!
This sucks big time, everyone expects every racer to have respect for each other!
Motocross is a universal language, and it sucks to see the american guys behave like this.
I'm German, and I know that everyone was excited as it gets to see Dungey, Tomac and Barcia race here.
They didn't get boo'ed, they've got a warm welcome!

Did we German behave like this because we've had bad luck with Ullrich or did you see the Belgians (who would have won by a much larger margin instead of Desalles crash) behave like that? No...
Excusions because of the track are just ridiculous, that was more of an american track than an european track...

I'm really happy to read honest post of you Americans here, cause like I said, we Motocross racers are just a small part of this week and we should respect each other for what "whoever" accomplished!

So I'm congratulating Team Belgium, I'm proud of Team Germany as well!
Because there's not "You Americans" an "We Europeans", it's fu**ing Motocross!!!!

Greetings from Germany,
Uwe

pumped for KROC getting it done in the second moto, that was a tense one... think I got arm pump Smile very impressive rides for TC222 and nagl for keeping him honest too

Congrats to Belgium.Great ride! Gutted for Desalle though.

USA needs RV or more luck to win...and maybe some more riding up here before the nations! 2 days of riding (or 1 in Dungey's case) on a crap track doesn't seem like the best preperation to me.

Who was it that said De Dyker on the team was a mistake? What do you say now? I don't feel like sifting through to see who it was but you know who you are.
I said that. (sorry about the late reply. Must have missed this post). And what can i say ? Turns out i was wrong. Shows you how much i know about motocross :D
I can't say that i'm mad i am wrong tho.
Honoustly... when i saw Desalle on the ground in turn 1 i really thought it was over and out for Belgium. Big Ken was never going to be able to go full out for 35 minutes in that last moto. I was 100% certain of that. But Ken kept on going. I was looking at the laptimes and i could not believe my eyes. He always kept doing 1.46 minute laps. Lap after lap. But then, with around 10 minutes still on the clock his laptime dropped to 1.48, and then a 1.49. He almost fell and looking at him you could just see he was struggling. He almost went over the bars and Bobryshev was closing in. Big Ken looked like a sack of flour on his bike. I again thought i was right. Big Ken was going to throw it away. But Ken didn't. I still can't believe it but he managed to keep 2nd place.

About the booing...
I have been to every single mxdn in Europe since 2001. This was the first one i missed (had to work and i'm pretty pissed about that. Saw the race on television). At every single race i met some idiots who thought it was cool to boo team USA. 99% of the fans love the American riders. I know i always go to the nations just to see the American superstars ride. I'm a little bit disapointed in their behaviour in the podium, but i can understand it. They are the top favorits and it must hurt not to win.

It sounds like an amazing series of races-wish I could have been there. Congrats to Belgium. I was one of those that thought the USA would win convincingly. As I eat my own personal humble pie, I have to say I cannot believe the amount of shit being heaped upon Dungey-it is embarassing. The guy answers the call willingly for the last 5 years, wins, what, 3 of them, and now the guy can't ride a fuckin dirt bike? He (along with Tomac and Barcia) had to put off rest and recovery and the start of prep for the MEC and SX while staying focused on this race and all the pressure that come with it, and a bunch of you fuckers piss on him for it. Email your resume to DeCoster and tell him you are in for next year.

There were some great rides today. Cairoli and Roczen were on their game. The Belgians earned their victory! I did not see the podium proceedings, but would be disappointed if the US riders were in any way disrespectful. They got beat, period, they should show respect. Two years in a row, two different tracks, they got beat. As for the US riders, I thought Barcia and Tomac put in great rides, even if their score was not quite as good as Dungey's. RD was the number one rider on the team, he is expected to deliver something in the 1-3 range. Today he showed me he is a borderline 1st tier RACER. He can ride with the best at times, but he is repeatedly showing he is not a racer that will move to the front when riding against the best. Cairoli did, RV does, Tomac does, those are the top tier riders. I also keep hearing about setup. He has more resources to get it right than just about everyone out there. How many who finished ahead of him had better setups? They seemed able to get it 'good enough'. There comes a time to just ride. RD is a great kid, great example as a person. But until I see some more fire to really beat people, I question how successful he'll be in the future. I see a lot of 2nds and 3rds in series. Most of us would dream to achieve that, but it seems a letdown for the speed he shows he can ride at times. I hope I'm wrong because he's been my favorite rider

So true. If not for Elis crash we had it by a mile. if ands and buts are like candy and nuts.

It was an AWESOME event! Drama from the 1st gate drop and BEL earned it!!
yeah.. and if desalle hadnt crashed in the last race Belgium would had won anyway. Desalle had the speed to be up there with Cairoli, Maybe not beat him but a second place for sure.

It's simple why we won.
I had a MXON party at my home

First race 7 and 8 not great at all.
We still believed in it. - but no more bad races!!

2nd race.
Van horebeek crashed in the 2nd turn - everybody lost there hope.
Came back to finish 7th!!! - JERRE was a BEAST.
Desalle 3rd - solid race - best man out there this weekend in my opinion.

3rd race.
Desalle down first corner - DNF!!
We all thought it was over.
And when nobody expected it.
Keeno KICKED ASS.
That's why we won.
It wasn't an easy ride for us.
But our riders came back and gave it all!!

Great job - Keeno - Panda - Jerre !!
