People seem to forget you’re only as fast as your last race.
But today people discount winners for excuses. “Coldenoff just had an uncharacteristic lucky day the track suited him...blah blah”
Bull shit. Coldenoff is the fastest mx rider on the planet right now. He beat everyone’s ass. And America shit the bed. 1 minute behind the checkered flag. That’s shittin the bed ! Nothing to do now but wipe your ass, clean the sheets and put your head down.
Accept it already.
This is comical. I'm not taking anything away from Coldenoff, because he straight killed it this weekend... but thats the extent of it... killing it at MXON. Not MXGP (world champion), not US MX champion, and not SX champion. The saying "only as good as your last race" is more accurate to use when describing someone at the top of the game (an Eli, a Herling, a Stew, a Roczen, etc.) who is clearly above the rest, who has an off weekend then people start shitting on them for not doing what they're expected to do -- win. Applying that saying to Coldenhoff and saying he's the FMOTP is just ignorant.
Also, you realize by saying "America shit the bed" you yourself are discounting the winner and the other riders... because saying America shit the bed is to accept they were the favorite or at the very least that they should have done significantly better
