Kinda feels like the same scenario we faced in the early 70's.
5-10 International riders in a field of Americans and we're all hoping for that one GUY to step up and beat them. Maybe it's time to bring back the Top American designation for each race.😎 That used to be highly prestigious when we were a developing motocross country.
At least the guys out front (the rabbits, err, Lawrences) aren't disliked like Pierre Karsmakers was when he raced the Nationals in 1973 and the AMA came up with a rule for the next year to keep him from being able to collect points and championships.🤣
In all seriousness, I'm all for the International guys migrating to our series. It can only make us faster. Hopefully.
Maybe we just call the Outdoors the Trans-AMA from here on

Now Dave, you know you're just gonna have to explain to half the board that you aren't talking about naming it after a Pontiac sports car, right?
It's the curse of old age.
And can we make the end of the year over all champ the Grand National Champion?
Can we make the plate dark blue with a gold number 1?
Asking for a friend.
🤣
Let 'em wade thru what AI tells them. They'll be totally confused by THAT.😂

As an American I root hard for the US during MXDN. Other than that I don’t care who wins on Saturday as long as the racing is good. The best American rider who’s healthy (and I might add hasn’t raced for his country at an MXDN ever) I’d rather see lose every race right now anyway. It’s weird how some US fans are really bothered by euros coming here and doing well. Maybe we should figure out why and do better.
I'm loving all the foreign riders both men and women.
All the foreign riders fit right in. I root for them just as much as the Americans...they are just so damn likeable and respectful.
There's no way all those riders are trans.
I would have to agree. Gone are the days of Pichon.
I don’t care what country the guys are from.
If you think there are a bunch of trannies now, just wait 'til the series "transitions" into the Trans-USA. 😬
Don't think it won't, it happened before.
Top American seems appropriate now. In motocross the USA riders are just not competitive. SX sure, MX no.
SX? You mean the series that was decided between a German and an Australian?
Maybe we can choose to identify the series as trans? 🤔
So, we’re gonna have a Carlsbad National again? 😎
Let's keep away from the "trans" word.
Lol trans and foreigners in the same post, 100% chance ppl would boycott the name without knowing what it means thinking its trans taking over mx now loll.
Understood, boy the gap is growing. Vialle, Bayle and others did well in SX too.
