Yes, Herlings in the MXGP final at Mantova 2021, crashed first lap with Seewer and won the race

RJ just ran his fastest lap of the moto on lap 14. Then again on lap 15 Dropped his time again on lap 16 - kid has heart Then dropped it even further on lap 17

They are like USA were back in the days. For anyone to beat them, they have to have a bad day and/or the challenging country needs to have an amazing day. Impressive.

France is such a power house. To think, they even have Ferrandis on the sidelines and they’re still absolutely dominating everyone. Bravo.

Embarrassing would have been not sending a team as the defending champions.

Representing your country to the best of your ability is never embarrassing

This thread is embarrassing. They wanted to go and I’m sure they tried their best. That’s the way it goes. But this shit happens every year. Beat the guys up that gave up their precious short off season to give it a go.

The fractured pelvis is Grant Harlan. Coldenhoff has a concussion and a broken rib.

I’m glad our guys seem to have the start down, that’s half the battle right there! Though the other half is staying upright, which they showed us might be difficult to do tomorrow! I think they have a shot at the final podium spot but will need some luck on their side for sure! Excited for tomorrow regardless! Glad we have a team to root for and it’s hard not to feel the energy from the crowd and the home team. You don’t have to be French to appreciate that!

It is absolutely insane after seeing what we seen today to think a rider would bail out of this. There’s no excuses. It’s the pinnacle of the sport with the most fans and eyes on you. Shame on them and praise for RJ, Craig and AP.

Vialle's first year racinig USA was a HUGE success . . . no injuries and lots of experience! Passing Simon on the last lap gives us a glimpse of just how fast of a racer Tom is. Team USA rode really well on Saturday and secured a great gate pick for Sunday; Mission accomplished for Saturday! I thought Christian had a perfect moto for his 1st race in months and months. IF USA keeps up the good starts they could podium for sure

I’m a Jett believer…but, Prado ain’t a joke. I’ve made the mistake in the past of under-rating the Euros. After several ass whooping on their turf…? I’ve learned my lesson. Things I’ve noticed… Our riders were 4th fastest, as a team, when all 3 riders scores are considered. Quite a few US MX/SX series riders are at the MXoN representing many of the fastest countries…4 of the Top 6 teams. Riders like Vialle, The Lawrences & Roczen…go back to Europe and get right back to CRUSHING IT…which is a reminder to NOT let yourself be fooled into under-estimating the Europeans...

Gotta be in it to win it. Last I heard all American Danger boy ducked out of the event!

I am too After Sihvonen’s great first moto I was pretty confident, but Weckman bend his front brake disc in second lap and it was downward spiral after that. Haavisto took great start, but was riding tight and crashed three times…thankfully 30points was enough this year. We are determined to do better tomorrow. If guys make top 10, I promised that they can shave my hair off.

Troll... those days are over. Everyone knows that the US can win with their best riders, france can win with their best riders, and alot of other countrys can win aswell. Im just happy usa are there racing, And so are you! To be honest, the mxon would not be nearly as exciting if the usa were not there. /Not american

It's an esoteric bike built on a Yamaha frame and motor. Then they tweak it all to their liking. Not sold in the US. Go check them out, their 2 strokes rip! https://www.fantic.com/FanticRacing.cshtml

I don't think any of us Americans thought we were going to win. Hell, I'm happy we have a team there!

You win the dumbest post of the day contest... Vitards gonna Vitard.

Carla spinning in his grave…
