Who's doubting him now? I thought the guy deserved it from the beginning. We sent the best 3 that us Americans had. Shorty pulled through today. I feel if it wouldn't of been for the take out by Townley that he would of won the MX3 class title.

He could have let Townley by , then just wait for BT to take himself out .

By Short you mean Captain America right? Wink

That last moto was incredible. It's amazing a guy known for fading could put in that kind of 30+2 performance just 30 min after racing another 30+2 moto. He didn't fade at all in that 3rd moto. Sure BT got by him and Dungey did his normal disappearing act but Shorty (Capt America) held strong. I didn't have a watch on him or live timing but he was keeping Desalle at the exact distance behind for the last 15 min. Shorty showed his heart and made me a super fan of his forever now. He knew what USA needed to win and he went out and got it done.

No, and no one here knows for sure if there even WAS a take out.

My buddy was there and said it happened right n front of him. He said they both were swapping coming in and hit, he said Shorty got the bad end of the deal. He said it was racing.

What is impressive is that Shorty was down hard and seemed real slow to get up. He sat there for a while getting it together and came back to 13th. He then came back an hour later and rode his ass off to bring it home for team USA. The guy is tougher than a 2 bit steak.

After that gutsy performance I say Kehoe should let him keep his ride next year!

Where's the ass clowns that said he should be fired from Honda and could never be considered one of the top ten riders in the world?

Hopefully they are eating the ass out of a crow right now.

Well done Shorty and team USA.
