Just a little reminder of how one of the GP riders see it. Pretty much the opposite your bias, unrealistic crap.

Boom!
Interviewer: It seem the GP guys have suddenly taken over...is it a new world order?
deDyker: Ummm no I don't think so...uh...I think just getting used to all those tracks...it's not like we have tracks like this
because I never see it like this and we never have anymore in GPs...they make it always flat but I think this is more a motocross track now and uh...I think still uh, yeah they're still fast and even if uh maybe was uh Ryan Villopoto was here it was uh, maybe some different story I think. It's just a one day event and it's hard so you need to be on your A game and also no mistakes .

EDIT: Will be interesting to see who the US National champs are from next year too.
The MXoN is a battle of countries, not continents. 47 countries make up Europe & 36 make up the Americas. I don't think anyone in the 22x the US won ever said "the Americas are taking over"! Its nation vs nation. You shouldn't have to add on every country attached by the same continent to make a team to beat the US. Belgium beat the US by a few points fair & square that day, not Europe. If you wanna call it like that, than the US could say they beat 46 out of 47 euro countries & It would be safer to say the Americans took over Europe IMHO...
The euro's have not 'taken over'. The parity between the two series has simply been revealed to people who refused to believe it, thats all.
The fact that you have the best riders is simple mathematics and nothing else , there are 11 states that have a population that is bigger than belgium .
What has happened is a wake up call , you have 2 guys who are 'next level' riders... RV and Tomac... we have 3 , Cairoli, Roczen & Herlings, after that , our riders are stronger , and faster... watching Nicoletti getting beaten by Tim Gajser, in the B final , when he is a top 10 AMA guy , and Gasjer isnt even in GP's yet says where the strength in depth is....... Barcia got chased down by Shaun Simpson , factory honda against a guy on a private yamaha , who didnt have a ride halfway through the year.
Thats where we are at...
FYI Herlings is not on AC's level no one in Europe is.....
Fairly pointless of course as USA only sent 3 (6) riders but on each occasion the top 3 EU riders out scored the top 3 US riders.
Desalle and Stribos rode in a gap in their schedule, in the middle of a GP season , a track at altitude, and Stribos qualified fastest i think ... you guys wont even ride their home GP , save for Alessi..
The track was as non-euro as it comes, your guys even said so, 'looks like a US kind of track' .. and i watched Herlings pull from dead last to push Cairoli for the win last year, and watched him beat RV on a 350 stuck in 3rd gear ... when he was 17 years old. He is at that level.
USA-RV,RD,JS,JB,TC,DM,ET,BB and by the end of next year will be adding more.......
Italy - AC
Belgium - Desalle
Holland - Herlings
England - Umm No One
the fact that RD is the second fastest in the US and he was no faster than 7 or 8 guys we have tells me everything... and BB.. perleezze... the guy got lapped 4 races out of 4 over here, not even close.
Pit Row
That should say it all
Not to mention that Serale never won a race and not even a Moto in the US.
Kid was impressive in the second moto fight with Roczen but again came up short!
Ok,where was Baggett this year ,SX and nationals?
Tomac was beat by.....?
Who won the last "4" mxdn in the individual ranking against Canard,Baggette,Tomac
How old is Roczen?
You are a troll.You don't even have heard about Cairoli and his mechanical problems during your US-GP?That's a shame!
I am happy that euros are not bashing US riders when they are loosing but there are a few idiots of americans who are bashing their own riders.Poor idiots
we "euros" have no problems to go to merica and to get beat.But if you mericans get beat you are crying like little babys.You are definitely in the club of 1%.
Searle saw Dungey off easily , as did Paulin , Searle hasnt been that impressive in GP's this year either , although the speed has been there.. Barcia wasnt as fast as Simpson in race 3.
Millsaps is a huge talent , i would have loved to see him fit and come across, im a big fan , and a fit Davi would have been a good choice instead of Barcia
