US riders are so humble , Plessinger calling Ferrandis his only competitor for the win at Redbud was a good example Barcia ..were good ...another classic example of how humble they are ... Tomac his comment on the asterisk was a class act he ... come on dude , its called butthurt

What has made Supercross such a dead-end, is that there's only so much a track designer can do within the relatively tiny confines of a stadium. We now have these tiny little track variations and soil type variations from stadium to stadium to stadium, and we we're all told by our breathless announcers that these variations are a VERY big deal. Meanwhile, in MXGP, they've got tracks that are so off-the-hook different and crazy amazing that, when I watch the recaps here on Vital, I am MESMERIZED by both the tracks and the riders' ability to master them. And so...

It's a sad state of affairs when even the respected media can't let go of the fact that the fastest man on the planet right now is from Europe and DOES NOT CARE about supercross. Of course he's thought about it, so has Cairoli, Everts, and a bunch of other riders who didn't come over. It wasn't for them. And for years, (some) Americans felt like that was like wanting to be the best in the B-league. Now the MXON has yielded European domination for 5 years straight and people have started looking for answers to all these ridiculous questions...

To reduce the story of the 2018 MXDN to the narrative that "US riders race SX because that's where the money is and that's why they can''t race mx anymore" minimizes the entire essence of the sport to a depressing corporate grind of hoisting cans of Monster for the camera. I fear some of our industry commentators have lost track of that as they defend our riders as "SX only." Would Jeff Stanton have come back from a MXDN loss and said "well I'm still better at Supercross"? That would be unthinkable. That's why I make fun of the concept...

I dont see why any of our top guys wont go over there for a few years and see whats up.

You lot still crying about being nailed by the Euros? That's nothing compared to what's coming your way in Assen If your feelings get hurt this easily you could always have a participation trophy?

Huh? Every country is racing the rest of the world just like America. It’s holland v the world, Italy v the world. Britain against the world. It’s the Motocross of Nations. You’ve missed the point. The title was Europeans v America... America have a team at the event Europe don’t... America winning the MXDN doesn’t prove they are better than the “Europeans.” Just like the French riders aren’t better than Prado, Cairoli, Herlings because they win the MXDN. It’s not a fair comparison as the title suggests because it gives America huge advantage because Europe’s best riders aren’t in one...
