More weak, embarrassing Americans that worry and whine when the rough stuff comes our way. Sad.

For all you saying Townley took his son up to the podium so Short didn't " pound on him " are pathetic. Besides Short finished outside of the top 10 so he wouldn't of even been near the podium Wink

Seriously guys, all joking aside, Townley is a badass.....so is Short. Racing for your country is huge and I would expect some hard contact at a des nations race no matter what country i'm riding for and whatever place i'm in.

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'm a Shorty fan and i still agree with you jmar, same point of view, just be a fan, i am a fan of BT as well..

I really don't think Townley intended to take him completely out. But I do think it's funny that Townley took Shorty out in a similar fassion during Outdoors this year, but Townley went down too that time, and Shorty ended up in a fence.

I have always been a fan of Ben's, and I will reserve judgement untill I see a better view of it. That being said, if he did try to K.O. him, that is weak!

He didn't need to do that to get by. I am still a fan, but if U.S.A. didn't win, might be a different story!

He definately didn't do his team boss, Troy Lee, any favors by taking out an American rider.

That's racin'!

He hit short hard enough that it ripped shorts clutch completly off. It was hanging by the master cylinder when he pulled in th pits after the race.

Put all the flags aside and live in reality.
Hey jmar, today is the one day that all the fans are supposed to celebrate their respective nations and flags. That's why it's called the Motocross of Nations.

Why don't you put down that big frosty mug of Hate America First brew you are always drinking from for one day. Don't worry, it'll be there tomorrow for you to pick right back up where you left off.

I just think that in the heat of "battle" Townley tends to lose his head and doesn't always have the best judgement. Has a bit of a Bubbles streak in him.

Ooooh, better not tel Townley that.

In all seriousness, I disagree that Townley did "exactly" what he needed to do. I think the way things looked he almost certainly would have passed Short within a few more corners and it was early in the race.

There were a lot of passes made and I saw none that were at that level of harshness, although I certainly didn't see them all. Even the European and Amercian announcers were calling it a take out and were even commenting on it in the third moto.

I would bet that if Townley could do it over, he would do it a little differently. I've never seen him to be a consistently dirty rider, even when he and Villopto were having their battle royale in 2007 for the 250f championship.
