Oh, and the Belgians. Strijbos was waaaaaaaay better than I would have expected. And wasn't Van Horebeek the top MX2 guy in both races?
Meanwhile, had Herlings not made a small mistake, he woulda trounced Anderson in the second race; was just a matter of time. By my math, a Herlings 1-1 would have pulled the Netherlands even with France on points, and the Dutch would have won overall on the tie-breaker.
Enough "what ifs," though. Febvre impressed the most as it was.
EDIT: Credit to Anderson too. I didn't think he'd be competitive at all, let alone win a race and hold off Herlings.

Awesome days racing.
Everyone has been slagging off the MX2 class for yrs now, so it was nice to see what one of the top guys can do when on form. The class isn't as strong this year certainly, but it also isn't as weak as it looked in Charlotte either. Seewer didn't come close to winning the overall but was bloody fast the whole weekend. And I agree with the above analysis in regards to Romain who looked just like his old self from 2015. Lastly, Jason. Though I think Herling's would've eventually got him, we'll never know - and besides staying up is a big part of it. Jason was very quick and took it to Jeffrey and the rest of MX3 field
I realise that's a lot of if's and but's.
I'm not an American so this isn't some chest thumping reply but come on.... The dude just raced to an historic victory in front of the whole world, I think he was well deserving of a fist pump or two and was very unlucky to get cleaned out in what can only be described as a freak accident.
I agree that Fabvre looked to have his old form and rode great.
I was surprised by Strijbos - he seemed to be more energized than in the GP's, great ride. Hope he continues that in 17
Alex Martin did great coming back from bad starts - great ride.
Anderson did great but what a bummer on getting landed on. Glad to hear he is somewhat OK.
A little surprised on Webb - although he rode good I thought he would be a little bit faster. He took a while to get by some guys. Maybe it is getting use to the 450. But great effort to get back up after his tip over and keep the US on the box.
It looks like both the US series (SX/MX) and the GP's will be great racing in 17.
Only person to beat Herlings today!
And Caven Benoit! Great starts, rode good!
Pit Row
Go fuck yourself.
"They" always seem to offer "compliments", always with a thinly veiled dig into the American riders...
"Good job by Anderson, but he got the holeshot and was lucky the absent/injured other riders weren't there" insinuating that the outcome would have somehow differed. "Congratulations, Jason!"
Pricks
.
Strijbos 3-3 without ripping a start and through traffic is damn good going,still he's extremely fast there, he won at the last GP there
I'll say it again that Seewer proved a lot, 2 lowly starts and coming through traffic for his rides, a small get off in the 1st Moto actually let AMart by but he chased him right to the flag,it'd put him 2nd overall if not but virtually nothing between the pair over both motos.
What is with some of you guys from Great Britain? You have won this event ONCE....ONE TIME in the past 50 freakin years , and the amount of bullshit which spews from your lips is like you win it every year.
You're like human Chihuahua's.....all bark , with absolutely no bite! Some of you guys come in and bloat over us not winning....while you guys struggle to make top 5 - 10?? And that aint a dig on your riders.....they are awesome no doubt , but enough for you to come in and insult My country or our riders?
And honestly.....I am not pissed at all that we took a 3rd today.....like not at all! I'm super happy that we got on the box after what happened yesterday. I'm also super happy for our guys who went there and gave it everything they had today!
Mad for being on the box the past 5yrs? Haha.....no , not at all. What about you?.....mad you haven't won this race but once...in the past 50yrs? I would be. Thank god I aint from GBR!
