I have grown up in awe of American riders, stood next to A Brit at Ernee and when told the Americans did not stand a chance against Everts and Antonio gladly stated that if Carmichael gets a good start then the euros do not stand a chance...took my Sky tv box to the pub on a Sunday afternoon so my fellow weekend riders could witness Villopoto destroy the field.
Ive grown up witnessing the American domination of MXON, I just do not get where money and schedule took over. If you are an AMA champion and fit then get your ass to wherever the MXON is being held and represent, show the world who is the best, I thought that was the point of MXON
Let me guess...you are a Manchester United fan. Tortured losers for a long time but curiously still loud like you matter.

Fun fact: ‘Bijbels’ is Dutch for Biblical (or so says the googles)

Lol do you think Hunter and Jett are top 10 450 AMA MX riders? There fast but not as fast as Ferris, they will get there through Jett is about top 5 250 pace
Go check the AMA results at all of the 6 rounds Dean Ferris did, Hunter was faster every qualifier and every moto than Ferris , also the last time he raced Dean on a 250 when they did mxon together in 17 Hunter was faster then too ,so yes pretty safe to say Hunter has been faster than Ferris for some time now. Also there was a oz podcast with Todd waters and he too said last year at 14yrs old Jett was faster than him over in Europe when he was riding at Lommel and I saw Todd win convincingly at Last round on sand track of mxnationals but I still think Jett has to get stronger and fitter for full motos in the heat at ama pace etc so I’d say Hunter is for now but for how long till the little bro takes over that fastest Aussie spot ?😜

I appreciate that. I can afford the $30 for the mxgp pass, but I don't have wifi and would rely on my phone service, and I've already read about the bad experiences of trying to stream it. I'll send you a PM. Thank you

I will be on a plane tomorrow while they’re racing so will hook my puter to the hotel TV to watch tomorrow evening. Hard part is staying off social media for spoilers.

With this much rain, there is no telling how this mxon is gonna play out. Raw speed is not going to be very important. Just getting good starts, not going through rolloffs too fast, staying on two wheels, avoiding roost, and not having a bike failure will be the most important things.
Damn I hate that. It is what it is though, and I hope we can come out on top.
No.matter what, our boys came out third overall in qualifying with super shitty gate picks and passed a lot of guys during their motos (except for Cooper of course). They've shown that they're no joke. Even in deep sand. That's awesome. I'm proud of them.

I thought there was something missing today and just realised what it was.

Jeff didn't explain how roll offs work and Paul didn't say ''that's not 3.6 seconds anymore''.

But there's always tomorrow I suppose.

You can't compare times from 2 different races and you know that.... going by your theory Justin Cooper is f a star then Ken Roczen because his quali time was quicker then Ken's at round 2..... Try again bud

I just rewatched Coopers start, my god that was awesome. The way he slid into the corner and still didn't overshoot it was awesome!

Blu Cru 125 race shows a slimy, sloppy track.

Emig DID mention tear offs.

MXGP TV, wipe the camera lenses dry, PLEASE! ABSOLUTELY no improvement done yesterday.

Mate, they don't seem to give a damn about reliable vision. Makes you think there are no directors, or anyone who is watching their output inside their studio trucks. It's not easy, these conditions, but it's not that hard, either, to at least try to keep things visible.
