Seems we are witnessing the difference between professional performers and professional racers...and the performance is not so good.

Sheer shitty luck...

This.. Italy is flying under the radar.. TC could take 2nd or even a win, then lopino could make it just around 10-13 place and I Think they would win it..

I forgot about Tyler Magdelia. He would have beat Barcia hads his bike not taken a shit. So I guess he is a top 3 AMA open class rider?

That does suck for the Netherlands who has clearly been the best team Saturday and Sunday. Herlings and Coldenhoff have put on a clinic.

I'm totally down with this. Someone needs to end the French Streak. The Dutch have been impressive, no other way to spin it. Granted, it's a sand track today and that is their strength. Can't say how disappointing this is for team USA.

This sucks for Netherlands. Herlings will probably win the 3rd moto with Coldenhoff at least in the top 5. Vlaanderen could've just kept his goggles or pitted for new ones and gotten a top 20.

That would've been enough.
Bleeding from the eye and medical personnel wouldn't allow him to race again

Man that last race will be crazy

Desalle was very good in moto 1, came back from a first turn crash to finishing right behind Tomac.
Tixier also did pretty well, would have been 13-14 had his bike not given up
Aus won't have Lawrence in the race now, so they need one more very good moto if they want to win (but I guess podiu is more than what they expected)
And if Cairoli can finish 1 or 2 Italy are sitting well also

Yup, would be awesome to get our first MXON win but I guess we'll have to wait another year to do it on home soil in Assen. I will be there cheering them on next year that's for sure.

What would it take for us to win? Tomac and Barcua 1-2, then how many disasters would have to happen for other teams? At this point I hope Australia wins it, gotta root for the underdog.

In 2009 Cairoli narrowly beat Chad Reed to win Race 1, Paulin won Race 2 and I think France were just ahead of Italy going into the final moto.

Within half a lap of Race 3 Cairoli had been side swiped before the end of the start straight and DNFd, Chad Reed went down in a 1st turn pile up and Paulin got taken out by another rider about three or four corners later and DNF'd with a back injury.

It's the MXdN. It's so unpredictable.
