Ferrandis said as much when he asked the same question. He would just as soon retire as go back to MXGP. Or he would just as soon race a privateer bike here.

Ferrandis was getting his ass handed to him when he was in Europe. 

He was good enough to be on the winning mxdn i thought he was better.

If he dominates SX and outdoors to the point he gets bored as you say, why would MXGP be a challenge? Would he not also likely dominate there too?

Not necessarily, I think about Ryan Villopoto who was one of the best ever American SX and MX riders and he didn't go to the MXGP's and Dominate, those guys are good and outdoors is their specialty. Don't get me wrong, I think Jett could go over there and win, it's just that I think there would be some time for getting use to racing that series. I just find it interesting to think of what might be in the future with Jett if he decides on a new challenge, it would also give everyone here a chance to not get bored seeing the same person always winning and someone else win a 450 title here in America. 

Jett isn’t feeling bored claiming he is going for 72 SX wins but i am not sure about mx with the series combined.

He was racing Herlings every week & getting beat pretty much every time. I not sure when he went to the states whether he was aging out of MX2. If he was then he’d be racing Cairoli every week. Puts him in a tough spot. Goes to the US and fortunately it works out for him. He wouldn’t win if he went back to Europe & he knows that.

That’s not too bad to podium compared to Cairoli or Herlings.  Dylan made a home here and I think he wants to stay with his wife and to challenge.  I don’t know about the phoenix or retire idea if that has anything to do with going back to France or not.  He seems happier now to want to stay and challenge., Not sure what happened last week?

RV had one foot out the door when he went there. Put prime RV 0ver there with a chip on his shoulder and he would have been racing for the championship. What does it say about MotoGP at this point where we see guys going there as a last hurrah before retirement?

Correct! RV was absolutely miserable at the end of his career and as I recall only went overseas for contractual obligations. So cool to see RV, RC, Stew, and Chad in relax mode now. The intensity to be a Champion can suck the life right out of you.

Hehe, Herlings is really 'Batman', the man, the myth... no one has seen but there are rumours.

If you would just be coming into the sport, start to follow, you would be really confused. Who is this 'Herlings'? Apparently the fastest man on the planet but he doesn't seem to race and when he does he cannot hang with the fast guys. Quick look at last race, no, not in the top5... well well, I better believe, Herlings is really fast! ( and if anyone says otherwise then we will bring up a sand track that starts with the letter L ).

RV made his statement beating everyone at mxdn so that could be either nothing to prove or back it up if he gets the chance after ama.  He was pretty fried and burned out at the end of his career like many old school win at all costs.

I saw him lap the US outdoor champ in 2012 as a snotty nosed teenager at the mxdn.

Follow the $$$$$$$$$$

USA contracts pay a lot more than GP teams do thats why the young racers come here to make a living.

RV was offered a ride so he gambled and took a shot at racing GPs a freak loop out and injury took him out. He had the speed.

I completely forgot about Jett winning the juniors.  Reynolds crashed to give up the lead and Joe Shimoda was on the podium too.

No! you answered in a Dickwad manner and come across as a complete Jerk.  Most of the topics you've ever started never really get any traction or attention, so maybe you should look at your lame attempts to get attention on here and learn from those of us who do come up with interesting topics.   Over 170 people voted in this Poll, so you're obviously in the minority of those who show now interest in Polls.

Well! it's actually quite easy to point out the hypocrisy of the absolute Turds! you've started on this forum by searching the topics you've chosen to start that you think people would find remotely interesting.  If someone else had started some of the masterpieces you've created on here, you'd be bitching sarcastically about those threads for their stupidity.  Moral of the story, avoid threads or polls you don't like, because if you enter and comment just to be a Dickhead,  then you'll be exposed as one.   Being a Jerkoff is no way to go through life.

Lol what? I think I've had about enough Vital for the day.

(Osborne took out Savatgy for the '17 250 east title, then followed that up with the '17 250 outdoor title, then followed that up with the '18 250 east title, then followed that up with the '20 450 outdoor title, then continued racing for Rockstar Husky until he retired from racing with a bad back)

Thank you. Osborn won a couple GP’s so offers started came in for him to come back.

Osborns coming back from a 1st lap crash to his pass on the last to win the title in Las Vegas was an amazing ride! Crowd at that race went crazy over it like nothing I have ever seen at a SX before.

I went along with the announcers that it wasn’t so fair of a pass to win and then the crowd got quiet when Zack attack was introduced at another race.  I now remember a feature they did about how he’s a family man and won at least  one 450 title so thanks for the info about his career where he also started as a kid like many.  It’s just easy to take an incident and turn that into a summary.

I do not remember the announcers having any problem with it nor the people cheering in the stands or the people in the industry section where I was sitting. OK I was sitting right behind AC’s family that were in shock and disbelief of the checkered flag outcome.

When 2 riders fighting over the same position on the last lap you can not leave the door open. Thats one of the things I have always liked about Webb.
