I feel like Walsh is faster but more inconsistent. I will never forget him leading the first 15 min of the MXGP race. Also, its MXON and people usually step up for that event. With saying that though Natzke could also come out absolutely swinging. I just remember his last MXON race and even though he had a lot of speed, unfortunately it didn't go well.
Honestly those were the coolest looking bikes I’ve seen in any series, this entire year. SKDA absolutely murdered it with those graphics
Has a single manufacturer ever swept MXON before?
Someone would need to lend Walsh a bike because those bikes have been shit all year.

Australia last year were all on Hondas.
Agreed! I did see a post that had several photos of all the bikes but for the life of me I cannot find it anywhere. The 96 MC and Rothmans are absolute chef's kiss
The early winning USA teams in 81-82 where all team Honda as well
Why not? He’s racing the 250 for MXdN. I’d be surprised if he didn’t.
Helps if I actually read the article...
Webster on 450, Connelly 250 and Kingsford to race the combine.
Well he got 11th and 19th at MXdN last year which incudes the 450 riders. Can’t recall where he placed among the 250’s.
I’d guess he‘d be wanting to be around 6-10th, if not at the first round maybe by the third.
Webster was 2-9 in the 250 class at MXdN last year.
That 2nd in the first race sealed the deal. Had a crash in his second race.
Would of been Beaton if he didnt break his leg
Webster was 2nd 250 in first moto and about 9th in the second after losing his goggles. 6th OA in 250
So anyone qualified from any countrt racing the des nations has an off weekend to race the track just before the des nations? Team USA riders never have gotten that opportinity.
Team USA riders have that opportunity next weekend.
Also I could be mistaken but the GP track that is holding des Nations doesn't have a GP round during that year..
Except of course all the years it’s been held in the USA.
Pit Row
I understand that. But when it is not held in the USA, the track never holds a race on the off weekend of our nationals so USA's riders could get a race weekend on it beforehand is my point. Not than any American rider would take advantage of that anyway I suppose.
As pointed out above the European track that is hosting MXdN does not get a GP that year so no-one gets to ride the track prior.
As far back as 2007 at Budds Creek (five times in the last 18 years including this year) the US track hosting MXdN was still on the US Nationals schedule for the year.
Looks like you’ve inadvertently pointed out that historically the US riders most often have an advantage with being able to race the MXdN track prior to the event.
I suspect this year is an anomaly where Ironman happened to fall on a break weekend for the GPs.
i cant be the only one excited for NZ's future in MX
Between Cole Davies, Levi Townley and Brodie Connelly.... NZ looks promising in a few years with MXON.
ANZAC's podium?
Team USA had a private ride/test day at RedBud about a week or two prior to the 2022 MXoN.
Sounds interesting, were any other National Teams invited?
Another thing that had catered to the US based riders for a fair few years, was when the GP races were still 35 minutes long, and the MXdN races were 30 minutes long : the same as US Nationals were.
The difference in 'trained intensity', and ride pacing tactics, with 5 minutes taken out, is somewhat substantial.
I think it would be a good idea for Webster to ride the National at Iron Man, on a 250, to know exactly how to ride /race on the track, on the type of bike he Will be on for the MXdN. Well, all the rounds he will do, to be completely familiar with the 250s.. But, I guess they may want to see his 'chops' on a 450, with a thought to going over, full time in the future?
I'd love to see Webster do a full outdoor series next year.
He has wrapped up the 450 championship in Australia pretty well much,
Im not sure what his SX skills are like though
Damn. All those bikes look sweet. But there is just something about the silver and green. Guess I'm just getting old and the first Elsinore's were just....
I'm watching Unadilla right now and Connolly looks really strong. I've raced that track before and it's so much more difficult than it appears.
He may not be in the top 10, but this field is deep and, if you haven't ridden it much in the past, it's extremely difficult once it starts to break down. I'm impressed by him.
