The track crew were on point...
Netherlands is going to be tough to beat in the next few years.
MXGP Camera crew should use Rain-X on their cameras or put those guys under canopies. (Come on Luongo.)
Paul Malin does an amazing job as always.
Jeff Emig has lap times on lock.
JT$ should join Weege and GL in the booth next year.
And for Cooper i really believe he hurt his arm/hand. I saw him riding that good and easy on saturday and in the warm up mud. After that it was different en he looked off. He hurt him self and thats not an excuse IMO. You cant go from being one of the fastest guys out there to being a backmarker that quick.

To some degree we make our own luck, so there's no need in saying how things would have turned out "if" certain things hadn't happened. We will never know, and this is just how it turned out. There's always next year, and U.S. riders proved that they are contenders on any track at any time, but just like with everyone else.....they can't afford big mistakes or bad luck.
How well Australia did*
Pit Row
When the USA was winning, everyone was on board and Des Nations was the holy grail of motocross. Now that USA is not winning, all the tracks are shit, Des Nations race is shit, it makes no sense to go racing, there's no reward, our boys just better stay home blah blah blah....
Look, USA will win again, sooner rather than later. The track is the same for everyone and the best always beat adversity and rise to the top. Dont be a sore loser.
....got smoked in his qualifying race, Race 2 and Race 3 by Harri Kulas from Estonia who had finished 23rd, 24th, 29th and 34th in the MXGP championship the last 4 years. Was further defeated by and enduro rider from Great Britain in the last moto and turned slower best lap times than Hakon Fredriksen and Henrik Wahl of Norway.
Further we learned that people do not appreciate harsh truths and an honest assesment of facts to critique a performance.
As much as I like AC9 he's a little too injury prone for me to have championship confidence in.
It's no secret that Americans don't shine in deep sand. Essentially especially deep sand mixed with shit tons of rain. They just don't, and it's because they don't ever race deep sand and encounter less rain on average. Are you saying Husquavarna is just stupid to pay Osborn what they do? That Aldon Baker is a waste of money? What?
Husquavarna pays Zach Osborn to race supercross and ama motocross. Not for mxon and not to be good on deep sand tracks saturated by shit tons of rain.
None of the riders you mention would even be on the same lap with Zach Osborn if it were on any sort of surface or track style that Husky pays Osborn to be good on.
What about all the GP riders who got waxed by Cooper in qualifying race? Cooper is 2/3 supercross rider and only 1/3 motocross rider yet waxed their asses in deep sand. What about all those that Anderson passed to get 5th with a 31st gate pick in deep sand? Doesn't say much for those guys does it? Since Anderson is also 2/3 supercross and 1/3 motocross who had only 3 weeks of deep sand training his entire career.
Americans excel in certain things and aren't so great in other things. Using results from a water logged, deep sand race to paint American riders as pitiful as you are is bullshit. It's biased assholes like you who keep euros and Americans at odds.
This was the type of track the mxon was held on and the weather that occurred. The results are what they are and without the incident in moto 1, we had a shot at a podium. That's about it, but shit went wrong and we didn't have the speed to overcome things like that in that weather on they surface. In no way does that mean American riders are undeserving of what they get paid or that they wouldn't smoke the shit out of the guys you mention if those guys came and raced on the tracks where Osborn is paid to race. Criticism and harsh truths are cool, but biased bashing is bullshit.
