Why ask such a dumb question. Nobody knows. There's the only correct answer that can possibly come out of this discussion

Jeez guy, what's the point of coming on a MX forum if you're not going to bench race? Chill out.

OT
I think he'd be a contender for sure, look at the MXGP at Glen Helen, he won and while I know there weren't any top US riders he beat Grant on his best track.

I think Tim Gasjer would be even more suited to the US tracks. I think he would give them one hell of a fight with his good starts

This has been discussed over and over again. And the same thing happens every single time. It goes from a decent light hearted conversation to a GP vs. AMA piss match. Most of the time when someone creates a thread like this one that's exactly what they're trying to do.

It's funny how we can discuss road racing and the guys from different series and nations and it doesn't turn into the pissing match that mx usually does. Wonder why?

Why? Because we can't get top riders to battle in the fall anymore because of 17 reasons..

We can't have the Trans AMA again...

All this makes me wish villo would have raced more gp.. Would have helped answer a lot of questions. At least we get two gp races in the us this year.

Unfortunately the US MX series is for entertainment and sentimental value for the people who participate as it really has no financial benefit for the riders, teams and sponsors.

While I'm as much of MX fan as anybody, SX is the only model that remotely has a chance of succeeding financially for all the players.

Well Simpsons ride at Unadilla did prove that the 2 series are very, very close. So i would guess that any of the top GP riders would be at the front on US soil. The same thing can be said for all the riders in US, they would be top guys in the GPs also.

i think top 3 GP riders would do very well in the USA and have a shot at a win every race ( not if Tomac turns out similar performance as he did last year in the first races , he was on a next level ) same for the US riders going to race a GP .... both MX series are pretty equal these days

Question 5/16/2016 1:09am
5/16/2016 1:09am

The current top 3 (Gajser, Febvre, Cairoli) could be podium contenders or top 5 on their first season I think. Maybe 1 moto win here and there with good starts, but previous experiences has shown that it take time to adapt to both series. The current top 3 in the Nationals is special, and the top 5-10 would have a word to say with Musquin, Anderson, CP, Baggett, Tickle, Barcia, etc. Even Roczen & Musquin didn't win straight up, only CP did it and it was in the 250s !

So at least a year top 3-top 5, then who knows ; Tomac can be crazy fast (but can be a so so starter), Dungey is a swiss watch and Roczen's first laps can pull 10 seconds on anyone & showcased his talent multiple times at the MXdN. So even after a couple years to adapt, who knows, maybe the current top 3 in GP could join the battle but on their home soil nothing is sure.

The real question is: where would you rank Ferrandis for outdoors next year ?

A 100% healthy Ferrandis would be a top 3 rider in US.

Kawasaki/PC fucked up big time when they lost him to Yamaha.

I wonder how these guys would handle the every week grind. Seems like most of the guys coming over lately have been getting messed up.

I quite agree ; I think he may be able to join the battles upfront, even in SX.

I also think Plessinger is the big favorite indoor and out for next year.

Savatgy, AC and Hill should be in the fight too.

I agree TG would do awesome and I think we will see him go over at some point. RF461 is in his element on the hard slick rough tracks that the GP's offer. Having said that we didn't expect Febvre to do so well at Lommel and assen but he just seems to ride that 450 very well.
