But with Dungey, Tedesco and Weimer you guys still have an awesome team of which most countries only can dream about. Only Belgium and France have many riders capable of entering the race and get a good result.
Please keep in mind many European countries are really really reaaally small compared to the USA, and they are happy they can field a team with one or two good riders.
I am just happy all the big racing countries are fielding a team again this year and I don't really care for the outcome. Just want to see great racing with all the best riders from both sides of the Atlantic.
This must be a promo for the new SUPER energy drink that's set to drop next fall. It's a combo of all 3, plus a little bit of rock cocaine.

I'm from Sweden and we can hardly produce one team.....
Therefore the race actually turns into a euro vs usa, Cairoli vs Dungey etc. I believe there is a great depth i both AMA motocross and the GP's. I also belive the depth isn't there in MXON with strange countries and riders outside the top 10. It's kind of weird watching chinese riders that can't ride at all compete at the same time as the best in the world.
I have no point with this really...
Think he will be close with musquin and roczen.
Also a lot of the mx2 results come from the starts, they will be going up against 450s, although RV proved that isn't always an issue.
Enginewise, Roczen, musquin and Weimer all have good bikes.
Seems silly to me, & why
be-little the boyz while they're
packing their bags!
Makes no sense to me.
For those who know, & those who follow
it all, it's known that our "Aces in the hole" are
out, injured! Bummer as it is, we, the USA still have
the depth to get-r-done!
As in anything else when it all matters, people rise to the
occasion.
Plus the teams support is second to none!
For me, I believe they will.......!

I'm glad they're going even if it's not Bailey, Johnson and O'Mara.

And it shouldn't come as a surprise that America's C team riders will get beat individually by the other 38 riders on the track from other countries.
I don't expect American riders to win any class. I just don't. With the exception of Dungey (who is riding a bike he will have very little time on) our team are 5-8 place riders here.
But I think this team would be extatic to be on the podium...and even then, it will take some luck.
I'm behind them, but realistically they'll be lucky for a top 3.
It's Austrialias to lose. (All AMA riders, by the way), and I hope America can get a top three.
Imagine, for a moment, if we'd have been able to send JS, RV, and RD...(or even RV, MA, RD)...there would have been a VERY good possibility that the top two teams (USA and Austrialia) would be made up entirely of AMA riders...And that would have been awesome...throw Britain (or S. Africa) in there for third and you'd have 7 of the 9 riders on the top three teams would be AMA riders.
But for now, we'll just have to hope Australia wins it for the AMA, and that America can get third with their C team...and we'll still have 6 of 9 riders of the top three teams riding AMA.
I can't wait....
Stop mentioning Stewarts name aswell because the guy even said himself that he is currently retired from motocross.
And as long as Stewart is activily racing AMA mx and/or sx...he's a candidate for the MXdN, and thus on the table when bench racing about would be mxdn teams.
You're just pissed our C team, has an outside shot at winning, and is a very serious podium contender...America just has the best riders in the world Period...JS, RV, MA, RD...four of the five fastest men on the planet (the other rider would be Reed also an AMA rider though not "American")...then you've got AC, who would be a close 6th fastest man in the world, and then it's anyones call after that...to close for me to call anyway.
every moto live, uninterrupted with starting gate interviews before the motos and free of charge. goes for the GP's as well.
Dungey and Weimer are the no 1 and 2 ranked USA riders in the provisional point standings, IT the 2nd ranked USA rider in the 450cc class.
Alessi, Villo and Dungey would be your A team, now you'll have a strong B team imo.
We've got our fourth best 450 rider in IT: (JS, RV, MA are all better)
We've got our third best 250 Rider JW: (RD, TC are better)
And yeah, we have our best 250 rider out there...but he's riding a 450.
This is a C team at best. Points standings be damned...Injuries make this a C team.
Injuries make this a C team.
Not only injuries (JS not racing).
But why not Dungey as a 250 rider (best choice) and Short/Tedesco in the 450cc/open class ?
That would be a good B team.
On the other hand I think Dungey will be faster on that 450cc than I.T. and A.S.
The best you have available are 3rd string riders ? Really ? Who else have you got besides Villopoto and Alessi ? James Stewart and Ricky Carmichael ? I thougth those 2 were retired. Well.. 2 can play that game... Hey... Belgium is there with a C team as well. Stefan Everts is not riding, neither is Eric Geboers and Andre Malherbe. And dang... one of our best ever (Roger de Coster) does not want to ride for us either. Looks like Belgium is there with a Z team instead of a C team.
Face it guys.. You have the best possible lineup available at the startgate. You keep on talking about injured and retired riders. Every country has that problem. Every country has injured and retired riders.
Fact is that with a country as massive as the USA that even with 2 of your best riders injured you guys normally still should easily win the nations. Why should i be pissed because you guys still have a chance to podium it ? Why should i be pissed because you guys still have a chance of winning it ? I'm actually stunned that it only took the injury of 2 of your top riders and you guys are allready looking for excuses why you are not going to win the mx of nations. Cheer for your country, like everyone else does and stop whining. You still have a big chance of winning. That's a lot more then most of us can say.
The debate is always 'which SERIES is faster", "which SERIES is deeper" etc...(Even though McCread always tries to make it into the ROTW vs America...the USA's mxdn win record eliminates any question as to which COUNTRY has the best riders.)
The mxdn is the only time in the year where you get to pit a relatively large number of AMA riders against a large number of GP riders. That makes it the perfect opportunity to see how the current AMA riders stack up against the current GP riders.
Yes, its a country vs country race...but while that is being settled on the track, there are other bench racing scenarios that can be looked at as well.
And you're right, just because I race in the AMA (though I personally don't race in the AMA) doesn't make it faster than the FIM...it's faster than the FIM because it has faster riders. Me being a fan of the AMA isn't a pre-requisite for that series to be faster than the FIM...it's going to be, whether I'm a fan or not.
So again, while determining which country is best (I've already admitted that the US team, this year ,isn't a probably winner in my opinion) I'm going to be looking at how the current AMA riders stack up against the current GP riders...best way to judge depth.
But just because you mentioned them: Langston, Townley, Searle, Rattray...as well as Reed, Byrne, and Reardon are all AMA riders that will do a FINE job of representing the AMA at the event. A fine Job. (though I didn't know Langston was racing??? If he is, that's awesome!!).
Imagine if Austrailia, South Africa, and America are on the podium...8 of the 9 riders on the top three teams at the MXdN would be AMA riders....against the best the GP's have to offer...that would be awesome.
