give it a rest...
garreth swanepool got i think 6th or 7th at unadilla...
and they arent even winning in europe? I think the euro's kick ass.. they come over here, do reallly good, and you say "usa is way better"
actually, every year at the MXDN we'd send RC or Bubba (2 fastest riders in the world) Villopoto (fastest 250f rider) and Tedesco or Ferry (and they wouldnt blow the euro's away)
I think euro's are used to the GP's where its 15 rounds, 45 minute races. more time to get settled in and save your energy. Then they came out here and its 30 minutes ALL OUT! the euros come over here, get a solid top 5 in one moto and are drained for the 2nd moto. but the americans go to europe and struggle to do well (the euros are just as fast, but are more smoother and dont look as fast) make sense?
I think Team Australia might have something for everyone this time around.
Cairoli is bad ass... so are Bubba and RV those two are the only guys plus maybe Dungey that I believe could challenge for a GP title right now.
Cairoli is the World Champ... if any US rider wants to say they are the World Motocross champion they kno what to do....
MXDN is nothing like racing a GP series either.
Why don't you ask the procession of GP riders who have headed to the US to race?!?!?!
Pretty sure they'll give you an answer... and i'm positive you won't like it!!!
I think Chad will win it all this year, first time since 2005 that he has had a full Outdoor season before the Des nations. I just hope the Aussies as a whole can break the curse which seems to follow us at this race.
Was there any truth to the rumour he was riding a 350?!
Hope not, gosh if everyone knew it was an advantage the price of bikes will go up again witha 13500RPM 350!!!!
Pit Row
I think AUS has the best team, but it will be close (i hope)
Now for the Home Field Advantage. Racing the Italian Nationals as far as travel and schedule go would be like racing an Arizona State Championship. How many National / GP quality tracks are in a 116,000 +/- sq mi area? That playing field would be leveled do to riding am tracks. You ever see a National at LL's? The GP's are a far better example as they would be covering similar distances and schedules, with travel that is a bit more involved than the US.
Then again AC could race the US Nationals and only need to go through customs one time, worry about one visa, one language (spanish, of course ), and have consistent food everywhere. And at the same time experience different climates, altitudes and some of the most epic tracks on the planet. Against the top talent, both American, and the fastest from his own series.
Come on Over 222!
And you love using this line man "Cairoli is the World Champ... if any US rider wants to say they are the World Motocross champion they kno what to do.... "
They don't want to, haven't since early 80s and even then it was losing it's allure.
I don't know how you keep on with that rant man. What top prospect that was worth while has wanted a World Championship, that hasn't already been featured on MX Files?
The reason why none of our top guys would go to the GPs is for a few reasons..
1- They dont have enough money to lure our top guys across the pond. They usually have just enough cash to offer some of our "deadwood" a better contract than here.
2- We know that this is the premier series. Most of the fast GP riders end up coming over here anyway.
3- Tracks suck, food selection sucks, no freinds and family around.
A GP title would be cool to have, but if I was like RC, that GP title would be in my trophy case sitting underneath my 10 National titles and 5 SX titles.
This garbage about how well the current GP peeps do over here is rediculous. With James, RV, Alessi, Grant, an up to speed KDub, Reardon, Langston, in the mix with Shorty, IT, Moss, Dietrich, Millsaps, Byrner, Reed, Goerke, Brayton, Hahn, and Regal, most the current GP guys(with the exception of maybe 2 or 3 at the most, would have problems. Making the top 10 would be like winning the lotto.
That and with the fact that 80-90% of the GP fast guys dream is to win a title here just goes to show that the US series is without a doubt the premier series of Motocross.
I would prefer to win the World Championship than the AMA nationals, if I had to choose, however I would ideally like to win both and a SX championship. But if there was one title I wanted to win it would be the World Motocross championship it is the oldest most prestigious and toughest outdoor championship in the world, followed by the Supercross series - they are the two best championships in the world. The US Nationals are 3rd.
And your other riders like Short, Tedesco, Byrne, Brayton, Cooper..... are not better than S. Pourcel, philippaerts, barragan, de dycker, Ramon, Nagl, Desalle....
