1 moto in the GPs? it hasn't been one moto for years!! always been two when pourcel raced them. yet more american ignorance fromt the ultimate arrogant but totally ignorant american in the the mx media it is just absurd!! no wonder he is so deluded about the comparisin of both series. GPs rule - 15 rounds 2 motos 35 plus 2 laps and a full weekend of racing/ The guys are putting the superior US riders to shame in their own country and there aint any americans able to come over to the GPs and do it. 2 americans in the top 5 in both classes in the AMA series and none in the GPs shows just how poor the depth is in the US motocross once you look past a guy like Dungey/ RV- the GPs are the premeir motocross series in the world !

in transworld interview tommy tyla and cristophe said they dont even
pay attention to what is going on it is not excitment and no intrest.
Apparently, stupidity isn't a uniquely American trait. I can think of a good half-dozen Americans who can go to Europe and kick ass. I'm not sure why the tide always seems to bring Europeans to America rather than vice-versa, but I imagine it has more to do with money than competition. And you should be kissing Pourcel's ass, because if Europe was represented by just Searle and Rattray, you'd be searching real hard for things to crow about.
Pourcel, Searle and Rattray are great riders, so are Dungey, Canard and Barcia. Let 'em settle it on the track.
I also appreciated Searle and Rattray, but Pourcel is on a whole 'nuther level. I think Searle and Rattray will do better as time goes on, but I'm not sure either of them have pure Dungey/Canard speed.
i think the average level is about the same in both series.
(average meaning, withouth supertalents like JS,RV and back in the day RC/SE72
Guess it chaps his ass that Pourcel can fucking ruin it when he's not even close to being 100%
That said, was'nt it Andy who, a couple weeks ago, came on this board writing something like "one should tell Pourcel we are running TWO motos here" ??
Anyway, it paid off, someone DID say that to Christophe, and the kid apparently took notice.
Another proof that his (understanding of) English, that started very low I'll reckon, is improving by the week !

This post was in shock that someone in the US media can have so little knowledge of the world championship yet constantly puts it down as a lesser series than the AMA, I will say that DC and the rest of the guys at racerx do a really good job and I even subscribe to the mag. but when you have a guy saying the nationals are the fastest in the galaxy yet not even knowing the GPs race two motos it is a pretty poor showing for a US Journalist who should be as informed on both series.
The top guys like I said Dungey bubba Canard RV are awesome but the depth is not there if it wasnt for the GP riders the MX2 series would not be that strong right now bar the very top.
Darly Atkins said a similar thing that at the top the US have blazing fast riders bubba RV etc but there are more fast riders and a deeper pool of talent in the GPs. There are top riders out in all four outdoor series but the facts are only 2 americans made the top 5 in their own series and none made the top 5 in the GPs. Has that ever happened before?
Dude knows more about our sport than we do.
Please, have a Coke and a smile and STFU .
......guys from the US struggle in the GP's because they are mid pack guys trying to make a living racing.
....and keep in mind, you are comparing the US to the REST OF THE WORLD.
Bowyer knows alot about US racing but outside of the US he seems to know absolutely nothing that is not top class journalism in my book!
Davey Coombs GuyB TFS even Steve Cox etc have all seen GPs in person. Andy maybe should take a trip to watch some GPs so he can be more educated on racing outside the US becasue there are as many if not more top quality outdoor riders in the GPs as there are in the US, he is missing alot of top quality MX. I have seen all these guys Dungey Stewart RV, ride in person this season and rode on the same track as Rattary and Searle at GH. I know how good Dungey and all are but I have also been to GPs this year and the year Searle Pourcel Rattary and Cairoli rode its the same speed - fast is fast.
eg Why was he not saying how awesome Pourcel was in 2006? he is the same talent now as he was then except he is raceing in america so suddenyl he gets all this media coverage in the states...
McCread, just let it be. The SX money makes the diference, so it will be like that(us going there) until someone does something (euro real sx series? duhhh...)
well, that's it.
I'll take a diet, or a vodka tonic if you're buying, and then happily STFU
tenured instructor of the sweet science of motocross - he was more than likely being'
sarcastic or taking things in a tongue-in-cheeks - humorous direction.
Everyone lighten the F up.
This is motocross ferchrisakes, not Iranian politics.
Time for all to recline the chairs, grab a sweet breath of life and
chillax and marinate in the warm glow of inner reflection and intellectual
solitude. Word.
