Was a big fan of Eli when he broke into the pro ranks but that faded as time went by. His tendency to sulk when things went wrong and the maddening way it takes him forever to pick up his bike and get going after a fall. Guy B's interview with him was a refreshing change. He seemed genuinely down about the way the MXON turned out and stated he wished he had another swingat against those guys more than once a year really caught me by surprise. Laughed out loud when said unless they are at MEC and A1, you have to put an asterik by them being the best.
or
inteligent tongue in cheek satire?
idk nor do igaf
Chris Charlier is actually the fastest guy on the planet. But he doesn't race Monster trucks, does that matter?
Hey, look at the results history of the MXON.
Winners come and go.
It's gonna be interesting to see who represents us in 2019.
From manager to riders.
As far as only getting one shot, I dunno.
Face it, few GP guys are gonna risk getting hurt massively or losing face trying to beat us in our speciality, ie, SX.
It's up to us to take it to them.
Are there no breaks in the US schedule the weekend a GP is running?
There were 2 or 3 GPs that ran after our nationals were over, at least.
Maybe, hopefully, 2018 will be a motivator for our guys.
Would flying half around the world in the middle of a summer, to run some event in the middle of nowhere, be a hassle? Sure.
Would it take a lot to latch on to the GPs, after a long 9 months of racing here in America? Yep.
Bottom line is, how bad does one want it?
The Shop
Just wondering.
If DV can blitz whoops in flip flops and a hat backwards on a girls bike, pretty sure herlings can do it too.
Its like saying graham jarvis needs to show up in lommel to be the best extreme enduro rider. For fuck sake supercross isnt the same sport as motocross, when Will u guys start realize this and stop comparing then two!?.
Bunch of cry babies want to separate them so you can win the argument.
Herlings spends 100% time training for Outdoors, Tomac has to split 70% indoor 30% outdoors.
Come on over race MEC and SX then talk shit.
What changed?
Pit Row
and yes Herlings closed the gap maybe even raised the bar.
They had a shit weekend , it does not prove Europe has gained leaps and bounds over us.
Just to be clear I'm not saying USA didn't get worked over because they did.
Look at Coldenhof how many moto's did He win in GP's ? or Lawrence the last good ride he did was MXoN Matterley Basin got his ass worked all year.
Or Paulin who was getting lapped every week in GP's
it was one race proves nothing.
All that being said and Tomac stating he wishes he could race GPS but the schedule conflicts. He should race the last 2 GPS next year/train in sand to prepare for the nations.
No conflicting schedules, plus he could compare himself to those guys on the other tracks.

I agree with you on the 70% SX and 30%MX thing. 30% time/effort is not going put any country on top of the sport of Motocross.
The USA needs to restructure contracts/sponsorship to eliminate riders having to do both SX and MX. 20 rounds of SX and 20 rounds of outdoor Nationals with different riders in each.
No conflicts to race a couple of GP's (if he really wants to do it) before the MXdN at Assen.
Alas, he won't! He'll probably dodge Assen and maybe line up at Ernee in 2020.
