Which goes to exactly what I have always said, if you took out the top 4-5 riders out of US racing and maybe the top 3 out of GP racing, it would be very evenly matched and one hell of a race

My butt is just fine, thanks. It's just that these threads bring out the trolls like Team Euro and it gets old really fast.

450 Final points
1 Ryan Dungey 2 Brett Metcalfe - OZ 3 Andrew Short 4 Ben Townley - NZ 5 Mike Alessi

250 Final Points

1 Trey Canard 2 Tyla Rattray - SA 3 Christophe Pourcel - France 4 Dean Wilson - Scotland 5 Justin Barcia


Oh dear, USA could only scrape 2 guys in top 5 in 250 and 3 in 450 . He should have said " The AMA Series has the fastest riders " .




Sorry , I couldn't resist either Woohoo

Josh is a smart guy and for sure the AMA guys are fastest at the moment, have been for a while. The gap is closing though.

I think the GP's are doing do just fine considering they lose one or two fast guys to America almost every year.

Each time they leave they help bolster the AMA's claim to be the 'fastest series', while two new guys take their place in the GP's and so on...

Talon Vohland said the opposite when co commentating at a GP this year?? (Albee says there's nothing between them)

And IF the AMA is the fastest,they can thank the GP'S for playing a part. it helps buying Euros each year,Musquin wouldn't have come cheap, Anyhow the fastest 250 pilot on the planet right now is still in Europe until he lines his pockets with obscene amounts of $$$ in a couple of years,oh and he'll deprive a good few guys of their sponsors tooWink

and from memory it's not even two a year. 12 years 9 riders. Three of the nine World Champions at the time of their departure. So we have lost three World Champions in 12 years.

Not that we all didn't know already,but it's amazing that it is just Aussies, Kiwi's, South African and French who leave the GPs to do AMA, oh and one Brit. I guess soon you can add Dutch and Germans to that list.

No, no. He was right. He said "America has the fastest riders in the world" and right now America has Tyla, Christophe, Dean and Justin. He didn't say they were born there. So you should have resisted Woohoo

Exactly. The point is that all the fast guys leave the FIM to race in the AMA: the greatest series in the world. America has always welcomed the best from around the world. That's what we're all about.

ALL the fast guys??? Everts, Smets, Cairoli, Beirers, Philippaerts, Ramon. I think you meant a lot of fast guys, but ALL...sounds like hype. Welcomed...I think you need to tell Pourcel and Bayle that they were welcomed....Hahaha. Sure, everything is better in America, that is why the whole Worlds population want to live there.....

The AMA want some of the top riders from Europe obviously to try to win championships and do well for them but they are a big draw for the fans,the new faces attract interest and the money is there to pay them,hopefully the economy will hold up any carry it on,it adds some spice for sure
As for living there,ere no thanks I'd rather stick to visiting,some of it's nice but it's not exactly top of the list of places I've been
