Bit surprised they didn't get the King to present Chamberlain trophy to his winning countrymen.
Ironically they had French FIM guy Jacques Bolle present it, the guy who fucked Team France by refusing to have Vialle run a Red bull logo on his cap!

Thank You!
Here are our excuses for not winning it:
Leok dealing with bad knee injury.
Rätsep been ... kind of hobby rider for few years.
We are too small of the country.

But being 4th for third time is awsome. Some day we get that podium!

Haha brilliant. Massive respect to the Estonian Express (19th MXON!) , Harri and Rätsep for a magnificent effort. Indeed, Estonia (and the Baltic as a whole), contribute more than their fair share of world-level racing talent.

Respect, really, to every rider who was selected for his country's team and who took the trouble to make this such a great spectacle. Bad luck to the US, you had many well-wishers out there.

Chuffed for Holland to do it & win, great riding

Also for GB podium 3 years running ?

Finally I really wanted the USA to do well, they prepared well tried their best & were very unfortunate after looking good, I think they would have got a podium in normal circumstances, however this race is so exciting for throwing up oddity's.

I wanted the USA team to do well to show Tomac & co who couldn't care & also don't want them to become demoralised because we need USA always to have a team representation in this competition.

It is funny you mention that because indeed team England has been incredibly unlucky the previous years. It is well deserved after so many 4th or worse due to incredible racing incidents.

I was watching the mxdn with my mum and when i saw team france about 10 points back and with 10 minutes to go, i told her "if it was any other team i would say it is impossible to make up these points, but it is team england in 3rd, so they may be hit by a bulldozer, break an engine or get attacked by the crowd so it is really possible that France still land on the podium" Wink lol

Okay 2019 MXoN is in the books. It was really great event despite my team not qualifying (i quit watching after 4 laps of B-final, yet never missed a second of each race).

Let me present you my MXoN Virtual Awards of Greatness - MXoN VAG for short.

I almost applied for your citizenship; award awarded to the team that got me hooked most to cheer for
Team Norway

Tanel Leok vibe award awarded to the ol... wisest man on bike performing well

- it was close1 between Hugo Basaula, Carlos Campano and well Tanel Leok but the fact that Hugo won... B-final got him this (althoug virtual) award

Lebron in Cleveland award awarded to the rider who can't carry his whole team alone no matter how great he is.
Tim Gajser
- the future is bright for team Slovenia, just not now. Baby steps.

Yes i can ride on a circuit if you give me roadbook; award awarded to the rider that changed his profession for a weekend and suceeded

Can't wait to get back on my PW50; award awarded to the young rider who impressed the most

Sorry
Some will. Mostly the younger folks raised in the SX era and the casual fans that just want a night out in a comfy seat. SX does provide a good living for a lot of people which is not a bad thing. Any true Murican fan of MX enjoyed a fantastic day of racing. What a special thing the MXoN is for all real fans.

I’m so proud of the team GB boys. 17th after race 1, dead and buried. They never gave up, fought hard and were the 2nd best team the last two moto’s. A thoroughly deserved podium. Congrats to all involved!

Congrats to The Netherlands and Belgium. The Netherlands were by far the best team and victory was never really in doubt, despite Herlings not being quite at his best. Belgium will probably be disappointed with how many points they scored, but I’m sure they’ll be delighted with 2nd. The 3 best teams on the day made it on the podium

A word as well on a great performance by Estonia, especially Harri Kullas in race 2.

Anyone know the biggest win (between 1st and 2nd) in MXdN history was?

Netherlands beat Belgium by 29 points. What's the record?
