I was on and off of Vital most of the weekend. I understand we lost, crashes, busted wheels, etc. Can someone give us a quick run down of how the whole weekend went for team USA? I guess there will be race reports in the next few days but I'd like to hear how it all went down.
Dungey - 2012 MX championship
Bagget - 2012 MX 250 championship
Barcia - 2012 MX 250 runnerup
it's a good thing Cairoli, Herlings, and Searle weren't on the same team
stewart , villipoto and barcia

This pretty much sums it up. Even the Monster Girls are pissed at us.
-End report
I'll lay down odds right now that if Dungey is on team USA for 2013, there's going to be an epic ass-kicking coming from the Orange #7 or #9 bike.

whould love to see Hannibal B-A and Face in lommel hahahahhaha
u send the best u have right now. and thay did good in the Lommel Warzone.
have a lot of respect for what RD BB and JB did ok thay struggeld, but damm almost everyone
had a fight whit that track. Even JH and AC had ther moments, AC sayd he did almost crashed when JH closed in and he had to speed up.
So there was this one guy, Barcia. I think he was leading qualifying or something when Herlings blew by him. Barcia gave chase and ended up in a fence, wedged up close to these plywood barriers, dug himself in with the rear wheel. Chuck Sun came to the rescue, lifted the fence so Barcia could ride under, and Barcia rode to another section of the track to reenter, hopped the fence and did a sweet superman when his feet came off the pegs. He was then DQ'd, either for outside assistance or cutting the track, depending on who you ask.

m1: Dungey started ok, rode around in 7th or 8th, passed up to like 6th, got behind Roczen, KR pulled away, Dungey later fell coming through the "wave section" and finished 7th. Baggett with a shit start, passed up to 14th or something, fell, back to 20th, finished 14th. May have fallen more than that.
m2: Barcia started well, Herlings took off, DeDyker was in 2nd, he and Barcia raced and came together in a corner. DeDyker was like WTF, BRO?? Barcia remounted and got swarmed by like 3 dudes or maybe 4 dudes. Barcia's 5th on the last lap and we see him on the ground. Herlings rides around him to put him 1 down. He picks his bike up and immediately falls again. We see the front wheel is locked up, so he pushes it off to the pits, which is apparently right there where he fell (lucky). They get his wheel rolling and he rides the rest of the way to the finish line for 14th with the engine still smoking from pushing the jammed wheel. We find out Barcia broke some spokes in his collision with KD. I still don't know if he fell again and THEN the wheel locked up, or if suddenly it just stopped rolling and then he fell. Baggett got lapped for the 2nd time in two races, finished 6th, fell who knows how many times.
m3: Dungey started maybe 2nd, Cairoli was gone, Barcia passed into 3rd then got up alongside Dungey in a pretty long, straight section, Dungey sort of slid in right behind him, Barcia hit something weird and sort of looked like he might fall for a second, Dungey may have freaked out and shut off the throttle, causing him to lose control and fly sideways off the track and through some more fences. Or he just hit something funny and crashed on his own, depending on who you ask. Barcia rode awesome the rest of the way and didn't try to race Herlings when he flew by. I thought Dungey got lapped, but peeps are saying he didn't.
Apparently team USA, riders included, wasn't too confident after the first moto. And for good reason. We lost. The end.
This Baggett guy ain't cutting it internationally. Shoulda sent Tomac.
p.s. I predicted months ago we wouldn't win a moto. i am a genius.

If you'd have left both AMA champs at home,and still lost which is probable,people would be bitching the opposite way around anyhow,except some even bigger egos would have been dented.Those guys did well,you can't possibly knock them
