Priorities are different for different riders. If your primary focus is the mxgp series then the mxon holds a lot more importance than in the AMA. Times are unfortunately changing and budgets and titles are being raised in importance over one off events. Tomac knows his window of winning a sx title is closing and him and his team are focusing on that before his contract is up. Hate him and Kawasaki all you want that have a goal they want to achieve and they are going all in. It’s all over now and really shouldn’t be the focus of...

9/28/2019 4:44pm I have grown up in awe of American riders, stood next to A Brit at Ernee and when told the Americans did not stand a chance against Everts and Antonio gladly stated that if Carmichael gets a good start then the euros do not stand a chance...took my Sky tv box to the pub on a Sunday afternoon so my...

9/28/2019 4:20pm I criticize any of the riders that made excuses not to be at the MXON. Step up and race for your country, money or schedule should be no object. If you do not believe that then, you are on the wrong thread. How the hell do you turn it down???I'm the best in America so surely I'M the best in...

9/28/2019 2:27pm I have been very impressed with Team USA today!!! The top Euros have moved on and are a match for America and with certain individuals are ahead regardless of track type, whats been good to see today is an American team made up of second or third pick riders come over to Europe, put some effort in and run up...

9/26/2019 8:45am I'm from motocross in the eighties when me and my mx buddies would drool over the works mx bikes of HRC. Theses bikes contained unobtainium parts and cost a fortune. How unobtainium are today's works bikes and how much of an advantage do you think they would have at Assen MXON. I know Herlings is a rider that comes around...

9/26/2019 1:12am That about sums Herlings up, give me everything and sort it out. Like I said, once in a decade type of talent, let's hope everyone at Assen stays upright and we get to see some good battles

9/25/2019 4:26pm Would engine setup/tune not contribute to this? If you ride the rough tracks in mxgp compared to the mostly bluelines that AMA run then would you not be able to use different engine configurations that full factory support would allow you to do which surely would have a quite significant impact, something ama riders would not need to or be...

I think engine mods are pretty much unrestricted for both AMA and GP but in terms of comparing works and production bikes from back then to now, I reckon the gap has narrowed a lot more as there would be a lot more quality aftermarket options now compared to then but I am just hazarding a guess based on what I've seen posted about how trick parts were fitted to works bikes back in the day compared to production models whereas nowadays while factory bikes have a lot of nice stuff, it's not the same gap in technology or advancement.

9/25/2019 3:49pm Is MXON an anything goes kind of deal for bikes. the reason I ask is because I've ridden a few sand tracks in my youth, was never good enough for any kind of sponsorship but I was a rocket off the starts and on long starts it was frustrating to get overhauled by guys on sponsored machinery. I'm not delusional...

9/25/2019 3:39pm on the GP bikes what is allowed in regards to engines as surely that would help with sand specific torque and power delivery. I just find that kind of thing interesting. Monster motors are king in all forms of motorsport. Controllable massive power is always a bit helpful

9/25/2019 3:27pm I thought he had parts flown over including special frame for the american appearances, again not knocking I've been lucky to grow up and see unbelievable talent through the years and if you had access to works equipment then surely you have earned it.
