Is the MXDN really in Latvia? Who would want to have anything to do with that shithole?

edit: I seem to have taken the bait even though I'm not from Latvia.
In all honesty, I've enjoyed the diversity of tracks that are run on the GP circuit. It's really cool that they're airing the GP's here in the states.
As for Dungey, I'm not about to judge a dude that has his record with the quantity and quality in which he's raced. I'm always in favor of a rider to do what they need to do to keep their mind and body in the game. It's fun watching RV ride like he does but if everyone got burnt out by his age, the competition would have a huge turnover.

Thing is though, if you're given the opportunity to go overseas and race the MXdN, you're probably going to take it. You can't blame them, especially if they're riders who may not otherwise get the chance.
Its not about winning ever year ,we did that,let other guys experience the experience.

Our riders have been racing non-stop since January and have been preparing to race for months before that. Our riders have been "representing their country" at tracks across the US for 3/4 of the year already.
The race is a trap for tUSA and I really think that there is nothing to prove. It's a lose-lose situation.
uk12etc., I think you're overreacting a bit, but I guess I can see it your way if I look at it from this angle:
If I were a small, underrepresented nation, how in the large fuck would having athletes from other nations competing under my flag be any sort of consolation, or, if they won, be anything to celebrate? From their viewpoint I would think it would look totally bullshitty and exploitative.
But from the rider's perspective---it's not war, it's just a cool event, and probably a once-in-a experience for some of them, even if it's a different experience than riding for your own country. If PR don't mind, I don't know why we should.
