It was a bitch move to flat clean a guy out on the 2nd lap. People can say Andrew wasnt running the pace, but he won the qualifier yesterday. I dont feel there is ever any reason to clean someone out that early in the race. Ive been a big fan of Ben's since he came to the US. But fuck him. Im sure he will hear it from the fans. But Karma is a bitch...

thats his point.

On another note maybe this is the sign Townley is leaving for GPs...fine by me he wouldnt be a threat for 450 class next year anyway. He had trouble keeping it on 2 this year with no stewart, RV, canard or pourcel

Is it too late to swap out a Kyle Regal ( Porto Rico) for Andrew Short (USA ) ?. I thought Kyle was a better choice than Andrew , before the US team was even selected .

Townley is racing for his country. You would all do the same and Short should of known that was coming because I could see it as they come over the finish line jump that Townley was going inside.

This is what Jimmy Alberston just said: " Ben Townley is a racer, racing for his country. I'm American and will will cheer my team on but i don't blame Ben Townley for making that move at all ".

Maybe he was confused and thought it was Alessi and was just paying him back.

Havn't these two tangled a couple times in the nationals this year too?

Bt had to get out after that young kid on the 250, he had shot passed Shorty, so at least Townley and Regal took up the challenge to make AMA look good.

Absolutely it isn't. But I don't remember Dungey doing that to anyone (especially recently). And you mentioned Dungey specifically.

Non-American taking out an American so? i'm not saying BT did't do a dick move (it was though) he would have got by Short eventually.
Let's assume that's the case, and BT would have gotten by. Does that justify cleaning Short out? BTW... What does that have to do with Dungey?

Well the referee's didn't in either case, so nut up big boy and take your licks.

As a rider you go as fast as you know you can get way with. Townley got taught a lesson at GH and learned from it.

They don't call Short the smiley faced assassin because he's a nice guy on the track. If you don't think he would have done the same in the same situation then you're not paying attention.

you guys are a good laugh honestly. It's racing get over it. BT is not an agressive rider and definetly didn't intend to take him down but they got together and Shorty got the rough end of the deal. He'll be piss for sure and rightly so and one day he'll payback it's called motocross...

BT didn't seem bothered lol. Relax yanks you're gonna win it anyway!

LOL!! OH Yeah!! and remember when Alessi crossed lines with BT at Glen Helen and everyone one was on Mike's ass. And that was not near as bad what Ben did. So can we all bitch and moan a little more here... It's motocross and this shit happens.

Get the fuck over it.

Short is one of the most aggressive riders in the US, but not much of a scrapper off the track. He just got passed by a Roczen on a 250f. He was off the pace, still tried to put up a fight and got cleaned out.

Forget about the fact that Townley isn't American. Be a fan of the sport, and forget about all the flag waving bull shit.

I think most of you should take up knitting or something, real racing is obviously too much for you....

Nothing wrong with that move at all, Shorty has done it a ton and i bet he isnt crying like everyone else here.

Yeah and don't you remember how pissed he was at Alessi for doing that too. Totally thought it was uncalled for.

Way too soon in the race to pull that shit. If your good (Dungey) you'll make that pass without taking the rider out.

Now watch me eat my words when Dungey takes out Cairolli in the next moto.Wink

It was a chump move. It was a take out move, not a pass or rubbing. I was a BT fan but not anymore.

f'en short left the inside open every lap in every corner, friggen roczen passed him.........thats what happens when you leave doors open in pro racing.........shorts fault not townley

short lays down and doesnt handle pressure.....i said he was a bad pick for a one race take all situation........and whose moto did you think we were gonna throw out before the race even started, .....lol, dungeys?


if short doesnt friggen dig deep and get mean next race he may cost us the trophy.............but everyone said he was the best pick for us......regal wouldnt have been bad pick, lol....or grant, windham

getting second in a series is much different than a one race situation and there are many guys better at this type of race than short........go ahead bash the crapout out of me now....doesnt matter, the race doesnt lie

Dude you need to calm down. The only person that has been affected by that moto is you. Short has done that same bullshit for the last 3 yrs. If you believe in Karma Short just got his.

Like I said he learned a lesson at GH. Maybe the other guys should have raced it too.
