Who is "looking down" on Pourcel, Ratray, and Searle? I must have missed that one. In fact I seem to remember posting my rather lengthy predictions for the season saying they GP guys would probably do well and that it would most likely be a battle between Dungey and Pourcel.

With Canard's broken wrist (too bad for him...), we could have soon "3 euros in the top 4" ...

This is simple, your top 5 riders, when not injured, against our top 5 riders, when not injured. Give them all a week of practice, set up time, and line them all up together. 3 half hour motos, or 2 45minute motos, and see who wins. They can ride whatever bike they want. That would make for a great race.

american motocross is the poorest i have ever seen. In the GPs there are no americans in the top 5 and in your own series americans can hardly break into the top 5. It's like darrly atkins said the US has a couple of very fast riders but there is more fast riders from the GPs and the depth is greater in GPs. It's no wonder the americans don't ride the GPs when most of them struggle to get top 5 in their own series let alone in a neutral and the premier motocross series in the world - the GPs

If the GP's are so good why do so many of the GP riders want to come over here?

Easy there. No one sane claims any series are superior. What has been established is that there are EQAL fast riders in both series in general. We all depend on each other here, and slamming is retarded and shouts low self esteem.

when Dereuver came over and did as well as he did last year, and seeing how quickly these euros are getting used to, and then getting results on the new tracks..it is pretty amazing. Props to them and i think no matter what your stance is or where you are from, this is good for racing. more competition, more battles, more to talk about!

2 that. Dungey going over to Europe would be top dog as well. Winning? Probably, but NO ONE KNOWS!

would love to see the GP's have one race per year in America and the AMA nationals have one race in Europe with the top 10 in points from each class from each series going at it.

That's what's all the sane people have been waiting for. Maybe it will happen in the future? I understand there are "politics and money halting that". Maybe in a near future.

thats easy to say with so many american guys out right now, get real. i mean when reed has been here for 4-5 years now does he really count as a gp GUY. how about DV. what was that 8-9 years . alot of your riders are liked alot more than you think so dont paint the picture how you want it. like someone else said zach ozbourne didnt do sqaut here and look at what he does over there

Could it be that maybe the Euro's are hungry?

Could it be that "some " of the Americans are spoiled brats that have been catered to a little too much? Take note that I said some, not all.


Could it be that Suzuki cut contingency? LOL

Could it be just that the American kiddo's are just too bummed out to ride well because their 26's didn't come in on time for their chromed out pearl white Escalade EXT?

Who knows, I wonder if any of them whether US or Euro have ever had to work on their own bikes? That might impress me.

If Pourcel, Searle and Rattray decided next weekend to ship their bikes to Euro and line up in a GP they would go 1st, 2nd and 3rd......then about 5 minutes before the first euro crossed the finish line in 4th.

can we agree that it's much easier for a European to come to the USA, than for an American to go to Europe?

Not so sure about that, Marvin Musquin is probably just as fast as Searle and Rattray at the moment, then you have Steven Frossard, Gaultier Paulin, Rui Concalves (Shaun Simpson when fit) who are all capable of mixing it up.

Yep Simpson and Aubin beat those guys sometimes last year, a nd Musquin and Paulin where on his pace this year... The Frenchies are on it in the GPs and would run with the front few guys in the 250 US series.. I was going to say americans but there is only 1 american at the front now Wink

Musquin would actually smoke Rattray and Searle ... in Europe, not in USA.
