relax , next year its time for USA to win again .... back to the greatest , most important race of the year
race it every 4 year or so would make it even more special i think , like some worldcup or olympics thing
Since it is only a single race it doesn't count for much other than a good time, but there is usually some great drama to the points.
For the Euro fans jumping all over the US riders ... first compare the schedule of the US riders vs the GP schedule. Between SX and MX they don't get much of a rest.That said, I think they should find the time. Stuff like the MEC simply are not in the same league and IMHO have been pretty disappointing so far.
From the mfgr / team view it must be one of the more expensive events of the year. Is there any financial sharing from Luongo?
Lastly, I sincerely hope GH learns how to do some marketing for the 2017 event. In the past they have done practically ZERO marketing for the GPs they have held. Never heard any radio spots. Never saw much in print. Then they wonder about the poor turnout? Please hire someone capable to market your events.
But having what is basically two 450 classes needs to be dropped. Put in a two stroke class and get 125's and 250's in the mix also. After all there are some proMX series in the world that race two strokes and this is supposed to be like the Olympics of MX isn't it? Maybe there'd be more enthusiastic participation from some countries (Canada) with this sort of class included.
Agreed but let's make the two stroke class 300cc
And do it for 9 months of the year
Pit Row
And they're not gonna have a two-stroke class, so get that shit outta your heads
Jonny Omara on a 500 he'd never ridden before.
The greatest stories in motocross have happened at the MXDN. I don't care who goes, I just want to see three guys that are willing to put in the ride of their life no matter how they finish.
My reality is I want to see Team USA win the $&@$ing MXoN and get the Chamberlain trophy back.
Roczen's bike set up was pretty far off in German MXoN 2013 according to a KTM employee I know and spoke to at the event. Ken made up with heart what was lacking in his set up that weekend.
I realize no one should be forced to go but I remain bummed Tomac isn't going. His ride in the last moto at the Latvian MXoN 2013 was nothing short of amazing.
I still have to see a euro fan having any doubt about it.
Maybe it's because the races are held mostly here in Europe and so most of you guys never attended one, but all of those who were lucky enough to make it know perfectly that the MXdN is and will always be the greatest mx race.
The atmosphere is just unreal, the night between the two days of racing is just unbelievable, and I'm pretty sure the riders feel exactly the same.
Comparing it to any other race is just ridiculous.
I would even say this year's race, 30 years after THAT race, in that same track, will be something I will remember my whole life, whoever will be on the American team.
If they even care about sending someone...
So, let's change everything...........
FUCK that, and the horse it came on.
Leave it the hell alone. No every two years, no every 4 years. Each Fucking year!
You have top riders not interested in going / between contracts with existing sponsors not interested in spending the money, or currently injured ?
Fine, just get the next rider in line that Is interested, that Does have some backing.
Every bloody country has those types of problems. But it happens to the US Team? - well, let's just change things, and continue the fucking up of our sport.
People who are only interested in one of the Great, yearly events our sport still has, If their team wins - show just how much they really are 'into' the sport of Motocross. Stick with your SX, your Nationals and get ready for ever more crap like Straight Rhythm - even that might test your attention spans.
It's just bloody pathetic, this being unable to handle not winning every year, so therefor it needs to be changed, by some of you.
In my opinion, team USA goes over there "expecting" to win, whereas they should "want" to win, not expect it. There is nothing wrong with finishing 2nd or 3rd for a few years in a row. They will win again, if not this year, then next year or the year after.
That race should be about representing your country, and if another country beats you, well too bad, but that's the way things go. I guess the same can be said about Ken Roczen that won't participate because he doesn't have a chance to win, to me that's a completely wrong mentality.
What about all the countries that only have one good rider, like Italy? Should they not participate because they have no chance to win? The Italian fans are some of the most enthusiastic of all, and they all know that they probably won't win the event in the next 10 years.
