I think most people on here now acknowledge MXGP as the pinnacle of motocross racing. In the past there was a argument that the US nats could be stronger, but now times have changed, things have progressed all around the world in Moto, and the world stage is rightfully at the top, where it should be.
Now considering this as a fairly recent adjustment, it would be perfectly natural for each moto nation to want to send their best riders to compete on the world stage throughout the year. I think any true fan of moto, who understands the magic of true outdoor racing & all its variables would love nothing more then seeing the best of the best race, and see one of there country men bring home a world title. Fly the flag on the podium & hear the national anthem all around world.
So IMO it is time the US started to dream this dream. The riders, fans & industry start to plan an attack the world championships. Im not talking about sending all the top riders, ruining the US nats or SX. Im talking about 1 team of 2 elite US riders to dedicate themselves to bringing home a true world title of motocross.
I appreciate the industry depends on SX for bringing in the money. But consider this, an true MXGP world champion would also be very marketable. It would be a shot in the arm for US industry & make certain aspects more relevant again.
I think at a time SX is losing some of its wow factor, it wouldn't hurt to give something else a go. Personally I would love nothing more then to see a few elite US riders learning to ride the deep sand, mixing things up with the big boys & pushing the sport of Moto to a new level on the whole.
