This. Anderson, ZO, and Cooper all have big seasons coming up with a lot to prove. Yet, they chose to sacrifice their time, practice, even the possibility they could get injured, and represent the USA. Those are the riders to cheer for.

Of those three, I think Roczen has the best shot.

Same as before, super fast and super inconsistent. Hopefully he stays injury free.

I can and do blame him. Holding petty grudges is what 12 year olds do. Him and Ferrandis both need to put some spinach in their crepes and grow balls like Popeye the Sailor Man did, and race for their country if asked.

Nonsense. Lots of riders developed quickly...Hannah, Jim Gibson, McGrath, Dungey to name a few.

They are just as much moto as anyone. They love dirt bikes, love riding, have great skills, and are cool to watch. You should be ashamed of your comment.

Translating...computing through excuse filter. Results are in: Our guys didn't beat Dungey for a title.

You thought wrong. Unlike the others, Dungey doesn't have a history of crashes and injuries. But the big time error in your argument is that we are talking the about titles, and in 2016, it wasn't Tomac that won the title. Roczen did.

Fact, those racers crashed out, or ended with injuries. 4 motos is nothing when you end up on your head trying trying to stay ahead of Dungey. Happened to Stewart, Reed, RV, Tomac, Roczen...all trying to stay ahead of Dungey and rode over their heads ... more »

All I see is a lot of racers trying to beat Dungey's pace and then crashing out because they ride too far over the limit. Then, you have big time jealous fans of said racers trying to downplay Dungey's incredible career.

Amazing story. He went through so much, and I'm looking forward to seeing this.

In the three races they raced together in 2016, Dungey beat Eli all three times. Then he was out with a neck injury. You know someone is big time desperate and big time pathetic when they hang onto Eli beating a guy who was out for the season after three ... more »

Jason going to spend a week having fun then going to get business done. Damn American hero.

So what? People who have little to no knowledge se lower numbers as better, and when they see the big number 1, they think that guy is a champ. Why is it that fans see a number 1 and think he's the best but disregard the rest of the numbers. The knowledgeable ... more »

Probably Dave.
