They have nothing against the riders, or the USA, but it is fantastic to see all the patriots have a meltdown.
and im still waiting for anybody/jeffro to show me where I said I was happy the USA lost ! or slagged the team off etc.
don't get me wrong it is a sandy track but with a very hard surface underneath the top layer is sandy
and as for who wins or loses i don't fucking give a sh*t who won, imo they r all winners every man/country raced their heart out just to show us how great this sport really is.
the only thing that is left over from winning r bragging rights for the next 12 months for France they can say they where the best team with all scores combined on a one off race in 2014. Does this mean Paulin, Ferrandis or Frossard is better than any other rider that lined up NO maybe better than a few of them on an consistent base but there r probably 10 riders in the very same class of each of them that could beat them on any given day just not that day.
and that race is a lottery everything must click and be perfect france made no mistakes where Belgium, USA , GBR and others made mistakes and made things hard on themselves to be crowned champion.
So please stop all this bullshit over AMA VS GP every single one of them r badass.
PS i watch every AMA MX and SX race and watch every GP race do i think that GP's r better than AMA? NO. Do i think AMA is better than GP? NO
They were gutted, Strijbos was so pissed,he had a great win then fell in the last Moto andVan Horbeek bent his gear lever and had trouble shifting,did they the USA on their minds??
No,everyone wants to win or even podium SO bad,fuck other countries, EVERY place is a point in a Moto
I'm sure the GP riders aren't too happy when they hear about being inferior etc but that statement is clutching at straws
I'm Italian.
Actually in local forums we're reading almost the same titles....
Usa Vs ROW ? You vs Us ?
I'dont really know, but
- don't forget "You" are in the end a group of 51 Nations under the same name and flag (that's the way Europeans look at USA) . Not only one single nation like "France" or "Belgium".
- You can choose the best rider for represent your country across a HUGE number of riders. So It's easy for you find always the strongest three to put in the track. If they are injuried, you've a lot of substitutes.
- You have the best championships, National or Supercross. The best Tracks ever seen, The best media coverage, the best press attention. We maybe grudge you a little bit.
- Your story in MX is very clear... but now it seems the trend is changed. And it's not surely for sandy tracks...
- You cannot really affirm Kegum is a sandy track... Lommel Ok, but not Kegums... please.
And Teutschental 2013 ? it was hardpack...
- Our feeling is like you consider us a lower series
Races are races. Wherever they are.
The level of MXGP rider in last year has grown up.. It's a fact. And the european are happy for this.
And more, some remarkable attitudes of American riders on the podium last year (what a dark faces !! left the podium during final celebrations..) are still written in our memories.. not really fair...
Sometimes times it seems Americans care only about the victory (ok in sports it's supposed to be the target to be achieved) but there is also the respect for other contenders.
Maybe someone is even more happy if you're defeated.
Personally I love to see good races.. Tomac re-cut has been really exciting !!
20 top USAs vs 20 top EUs ? I totally agree..
Unfortunately, in Europe, we have Luongo. But that's another story.
bye
Look @ JM..
You are out of character here.
I'd say you'd lose your current advantage switching to 20 Americans vs 20 Europeans (although I agree that would be much fairer). At the moment you have about 5 times the population of the next largest country. You are better leaving it as it is and putting on your big boy pants when you get beat. If you even up the number of potential entrants from the competition then things will only get worse for you as your 11th to 20th placed riders would be weak compared to Europe as a whole. Sorry.
there's no attempt to get jeffro to bite, its about as aggressive as his initial post at myself and in all honesty the 1st time I have actually exchanged words with him in this manner.
ref: the butthurt post - that's aimed at a particular bunch and they got it loud and clear I am sure, there is a sentence in it that disregards the more "normal" fan. I know it was immature but it had to go out as a response to earlier slants at me, enough said.
What a bunch of whiners, seriously. Go around FOR YEARS bragging their asses off about USA USA USA...
...as soon as we lose, in about as fair and square circumstance as you could imagine, the whining and excuses began.
OF COURSE the Euro fans are going to rub this one in- look at the crap they have put up with from arrogant US fans.
US fans should congratulate the French and move on.
Pit Row
I've heard Joel Smets and Jef Emig intervieuws in wich they state that they consider their MXON history as the greatest moments in their career RACING FOR THEIR COUNTRY. Wearing the national colors/flag and representing their country/population. I'm proud to be Belgian and Belgium is a member of the European Union. That doesn't mean I'll be waving the European flag.
Europe = union of countries that excist of several states/provences
United States of America = country that excists of several states
Let the Mxon be what it is , it's a fantastic emotional rollercoaster with a huge crowd and atmosphere regardless the winner
Ps: Ryder Cup Format Please
Thank funk it's nearly time for the MEC, I mean nobody could argue about that, right.....
Fwiw I usually read most of what jeffro says and don't often find a place to disagree.
Sorry guys, and girls.
I appreciate the good replies and the thoughts you guys put into them. I also appreciate spelling it all out in La mans terms.
@ Kong .....I appreciate your UN-biased approach and coverage of the MXoN's race. I wasn't bringing your name into it because of this ONE race.....it was all about what you've said on here over the past few years. Everyone on this site knows you can't stand American's all that well , but love the sport. That's cool , so keep doing your thing. I also apologize for lumping you in with Geoff.....as that guy is on a whole other level than anyone else that's ever graced this board....and you didn't deserve to be thrown into that group.
There are shit heads on both sides of this planet. So when the banter gets thick here between the two , it's hard to stay out of the middle of it. Everyone on this board knows I follow the GP scene as well , and you would be hard pressed to find any bad remarks from me , thrown towards any of the GP riders , or former GP riders which contend the AMA series. I cheer for a lot of guys on both sides of the pond.......but when I think someone is taking a jab at our American riders......I tend to want to speak up.
Didn't mean to cause a war here. So I apologize to anyone that thinks that's what I was doing.
And I don't want (or enjoy) the USA to lose, much like most fans we know your series and racers (along with everybody else's) are very good for the sport, that's not where the arguments and emotions come from.
I'd rather England / GB win over anybody and that's my only real preference and you are no different, I think we can and should still respect each other though.
Roll on SX
it's the dorky fans that can't admit defeat, which is hilarious as they have nothing to do with the racing besides thumping their chests all year.
Several races, let's say 3 or 5 just to test different tracks and conditions....
The problem will be the scheduling.
