I know those points don't mean squat but with Coldenhoffs mechanical issues, you could probably take 20 points off. The Dutch are still right there.

 Any word on De Wolf??? Any affects from his crash?

If Östlund isn't injured after his DNF, Sweden should get through B Final pretty easily.

Don't forget about NZ 😉

I know, right?  2 of the 3 motos won by riders from the AMA and the other one will be racing AMA next year…. And not Americans, so much for only a “National” series.

You reek of being a poser. Nothing tells me I've never raced before more than the stupid comment you just made.

Yes, you’re the expert in all things. I’m a total poser, Dan the man.

Not everyone is as good as Larry Ward 😎

The USA guys are doing very well considering everything. It would be awesome if they made the podium, but with this field, 4th-6th is respectable imo. All these guys are quasar atm, especially on this track.

Larry was an awesome racer. I grew up watching him in the PNW. Having said that, I feel this team is better than their results showed today so hopefully tomorrow, things come together a bit more and they improve on their results.

No doubt the Dutchies are in it.  After FRA, there are a bunch of teams fighting for the podium.

The USA hate here by people in third world countries is something else. They are fine. 

How does it matter what country they are from? Are the comments less valuable if they're from a certain country?

Who cares at the end of the day how they do, of course you want them to do good but THEY wanted to go and support you guys. So support them and give them credit.

This. After Tomac decided to go we heard a lot of, "I don't care how they finish. I'm going to support our boys." They're up against some serious talent. The GP boys are the fastest mx riders on Earth. Go USA!

Yes that score first represent the Dutch 100%

Dewolf went down running p2

Herlings went down on lap 1 

Coldenhoff was p7 and moving forward when he had mechanical

We are here in person at MXON and our guys (USA) are way off the pace.  There are many reasons for it but wow they are off the pace.  They look fast in person though.   The track really got chewed up bad and the promoter here does not do any prep all day or water.   There are sections of the track that even the top riders are not able to jump.   The track started out perfect, but it certainly got crazy rough.   I am sure it is very different than what our US guys race in the states.  It's a really nice-looking place though and fun to watch.   It would be more fun if team USA was relevant, but they are not.  Also by the way the 85cc race was good to watch.  A kid 810 Morgan from the USA crushed it and won!

I’m just glad those guys stepped up and we were able to send a team.

He's just being a smart ass saying 3rd world countries but it is true that a lot of people from other countries take pleasure when our guys fail particularly certain British trolls . Cough cough Rob Kinsey .

No. Herlings didn't drop his lap times. Maybe check again.

Last year second place team had 34 points and third had 43. They both kept two finishes outside the top 10. The third place team qualified 10th.

Most of the guys that finished in front of the Americans today have raced this track many times and it was webb's first actual race on the 250.

Plenty of reason to think we'll see some improvement tomorrow. We're still in the hunt for podium. 

C’mon you don’t need much more then 15min to know a  track after a few laps you should now. Unless you send retards uhh your only faster because you rode here this year 🙈

Debating buying the race on mxgp-tv. I’ve never had the opportunity to watch it live so I might as well. Last time I paid for an event, McGregor dropped cowboy in 60 seconds.

The two American ama motocross champions are hurt and not there...  Team USA sent three guys with a total of zero national wins this season.  

Awesome they are there though.  They will rep and send it to their best Sunday.

I was gonna wait to watch it on CBS but bit the bullet at work today and paid the $42 so I could listen to the broadcast today and watch live tomorrow. Shared the log-in info with my brother so it helps take the sting out of it a little knowing a couple people get to watch it! The FOMO is real. Grinning

I spent the money because i don’t have cable and don’t want to deal with a free trial. I sent the password to my dad, i wanted to send it to my grandma but idk how many people it allows on the same account in three different locations.

Man AP was way off today. 4 seconds off of Jett and 3 off Fernandez. We gotta do better than that. 

No excuses. Jett, Hunter and Vialle ran the same schedule this year, and they killed it today.

I said a few weeks ago that France is THE team to beat. Tons of down votes and laughing and here we are. They are the only team with 3 guys who can legitimately win their classes. 

Australia should do really well but I don’t see Hunter winning his class. He should be top 5 though. Webster isn’t winning. Jett will take MX3 barring a crash or mechanical. 

Netherlands will definitely be in the fight. It goes without saying that Herlings can win any time any where. Same goes for De Wolfe. Coldenhoff is the “weak link” but honestly, I’ve learned to not doubt him at the MXdN. 

Spain has a legit shot as well. Obviously Prado is very hard to beat. Fernandez can win MX3 if Jett has a mishap. Oliver isn’t going to be the top 250 finisher but with a good start and a mistake free day he can certainly hold his own and do well enough to help the team win. 

USA certainly has their backs against the wall but I wouldn’t count them out. Eli can go full beast mode and win or finish inside the top 3. It would be absolutely epic to see him take a moto win against this field. I think Plessinger will be solid and could finish around 5th (which would be a great result). We should know by now not to doubt Webb, especially if he gets another good start. We’ve seen him do so pretty amazing things during his career. 

My final prediction is 

1. France

2. Netherlands

3. USA

4. Spain

5. Australia. I think Hunter has a bad moto along with Webster having 2 mediocre to bad motos. Jett wins his races.
