he was on his home turf last year, and smoked good old team USA,
I dont think that Germany is his "own turf".
Now Lierop....that would be more his "own turf".
With that said...it (the MXoN at Lierop) could end up much worse then Lommel did for us.
I wouldn't bet against that kid on any of those sand tracks over there and definitely not on his true "home turf" .
Now Roczen will be on his own turf come the MXoN - that should be good.

If it was just USA v Europe it's likely you'd get smoked year on year.
This year the team could be Roczen, Herlings and Cairoli. Be thankful.
Europe is NOT a country.
edit: saw this explenation after i posted the quote followed by a smart-ass comment
I take that smart-ass comment back then.
And what Louis said is some-what correct.
Also he did beat Villo in 2011 in France in that MX2/MX3 moto on a dirt/non-sand track.

He can give allot of MX1 guys a run for their money on the 250 if he get's a good start.
BTW he looked a bit injured and favoring his left leg on the podium today, hope he's ok.
I'll be there to see the "Vengance".
We'll see who ins what.
Any guesses on this year's team for us...errrrr, I mean the USA?
RV
RD
BB
Maybe...?
How will they do?
The Netherlands team has already Coldenoff in MX2, who should do good too (he is a top 3-5 MX2 on a good day)
That said, if the dream team with RV, RD and BB is healthy, I do not see any team running with them, individually it will just be a good battle with the usual suspects "Cairoli, Paulin, Desalle, Herlings, Roczen" but honestly I do not see anyone matching RV's speed. (like Stewart in 08 or RC)
Especially adding last year in.
But JH didnt race RV last year -RV wasnt there -but Barcia was there.
Because look at the qualifying results for 2011.
RV beat him. In fact beat him twice that weekend?
So really they're RV 2 JH1...based on 2011.

I see Rodger going with RV,Dungey & a MX2 rider.
The choice usually comes down to The Man making the call though.
I see Decoster going with a healthy Dungey (that's his guy anyway) & a healthy RV.
Then going with the top American outdoor lites rider for MX2.
Herlings Paulin and Roczen had a great scrap that day,Roczen should have probably won actually but lost his goggles
Herlings will be on the 350 for sure
Pit Row
I thought they would go with Baggett for sure...............
The Guys speed in Vegas was unbelievable when he made that charge
Kenny rode it well in Supercross.
Seriously... we just had our first AMA National, plenty to chat it up about, and somehow he got all of you talking about the MXdN, which is about 4 month's away!!! It's a bit too early isn't it fella's?
It's never too early to want pay back and reclaim the cup.
Had Marvin and Kroc won those 250F titles in the US, they would had been pressured to move to the 450F class.
Are you really down playing American Motocross?
