10/2/2019 1:40pm Well done you realised that you sent your 2nd and 3rd best riders. Spelling it out is unecessary as that is exactly what I said. It makes no difference where they finished in your championship. Saying they finished down in 4th and 5th not higher implies you had other options which you didn't. Well done. If only you could realise...

10/2/2019 11:28am I told you, send me names of who finished higher who you could send. It's not rocket science. I'm off out so think about it for a few hours and see who you come up with.

10/2/2019 11:20am I was thinking the same. Tell who was better and you will convince me.

Shaun simpson changed his training programm to peak at lommel to increase his odds to be selected. Anstie eason had ended due to injury but he still tried to get into shape for the mxon. Vlaanderen is south african and had to fight roan to get into teamnl but he sure wanted to, gajser has nothing to win and no obligation but he is at the mxon, and i cant remember when a gp rider declined to race. I am certain that eu federations would hate goin overseas every year due to costs, but as long as most events are...

10/2/2019 11:12am No. He was 2nd best American unless you think you can send Roczen and Musquin. What if Roczen had won and Musquin was 2nd and Tomac 3rd. Who would be your best rider? Roczen who happens to be German and could of rode for them or Musquin who's French and could have rode for them? Tomac who finished 3rd would...

10/2/2019 9:49am We'll send more foreigners over and you can complain that you only sent a 25th place rider so how could you win. I'm not trolling you are in denial.

10/2/2019 7:07am I simply removed the other US championship riders you could not send. You implied you only sent your 4th and 5th best riders in your B team. This is not the case you sent your 2nd and 3rd best riders so only the champion was missing. If JA had finished 10th and there had been 8 Euros or otherwise in...

10/2/2019 4:45am I said compared to what the Dutch call sand and my statement is correct. Valkenswaard is far worse and still not a real sand to them. You sent sand riders to Lommel and they all got lapped including 2 national champions and it wasn't wet. Just saying.

What could Roger have said or done after the guys have been filming and constantly yapping about Team Fried on YouTube? The announcers in the tent at the press conference even mention team fried and the guys filming had a yuck yuck "see they even call us Team Fried!" Yeah it was cool to see the videos but the constant team fried BS got to me. I'm old school and I went to Holland 28 years ago to see my first of FOUR Motocross des Nations. In those four events the Americans won each one. I cherish this weekend event...

You Sir, is why there's a US Vs MXGP divide. You are the reason Americans are generalised & labelled as arrogant big-heads when you win & sore losers when you lose. Give it up. You'll be a happier person for it. BIG thumbs down for your post. *Coming from a "mouthy Brit" who was actually rooting for Team USA to win.

10/1/2019 3:11pm Glen Helen is far from a sand track, even Southwick. This is the mistake you made in Lommell and why Decoster got them over early. Look at Vallkenswaard, to the Dutch this is not far from a normal loam track. Definitely not what is known as sand in Europe.

I couldn't disagree with you more about this (you even copped an 'unlike' from me haha, might be my 2nd or 3rd one) I think Team Fried endeared everyone outside of the US to your team.. The whole too serious only there to win and get all pissy when you didn't win thing was only good for forcing a wedge between you guys and the rest of the world! Which is cool if you're happy to reap what you sow but I always heard complaints of "Ooh it's the US verse the world" or "They all want us to lose"...

Boy, that was a hard one to swallow. It was tough to watch after all the work our boys put into this single race. But this isn't another post to echo what could've been if only things had been a bit different. It's also not to repeat how much damn respect I have for this team, though you can't overstate how much recognition the deserve. It dawned on me today that the one of the main reasons why this race has become less important over the years isn't because of the calendar, or because of supercross, or because of the...

10/1/2019 2:44pm You can't count 2nd and 3rd as they were not Americans so Anderson was 2nd and Osborne 3rd. You can't count 2nd as he was not American so Cooper was 2nd. Fixed it for ya'll A - Team 450 MX19 OA: ET - 1st / JA - 2nd 250 MX19 OA: AC - 1st B - Team 450 MX19 OA...

10/1/2019 2:36pm You do realise that most of the top teams were B teams and don't have the population to choose from that you have. The Brits lost 2 A riders and had a breakdown but made the podium. Belgium lost 2 A riders, nursed a bike home losing places and still finished on the podium. Belgium, who are pretty much a...

9/29/2019 1:27pm You should watch most of his crashes. They are not just tip overs he does it properly and usually while he looks in total control and smooth as. I'm amazed the bike survives most of the time let alone him.

9/29/2019 1:18pm The French have a Sx series and it's not slowing them down. During the US win streak credit was given to Sx for making the riders sharper. They were winning the though unlike now.

9/29/2019 1:09pm Tim Gasjer has rode the MEC before and was on the pace. He dropped it but he does that all the time. Watch, I think it was the Chinese GP, he crashed in both races, one of them twice, and the qualifier. It doesn't need to be a Sx, even a tame one. Going back to your winning streak and...

5/31/2010 11:55pm I heard that as the Yanks love a winner, and hate to lose, that AC was told to let MA win and boost the acceptance of the race for the future and push the 350 in the States, their biggest market. AC pretended he had a problem with his bike so he and the Euros didn't look so bad. Howevever...
