One thing that I don`t like is that there are no National team pits. Everyone is pitted under factory tents. Tomac at Honda, Dungey at KTM on a other side of the pits.

I noticed that two Kongols, I have seen pictures of all the Aussies and they are all in a different pit area. Clout is running out of a pit ten and van by the looks of things.

You would think it being a Nation V Nation event the pit set up would reflect that

He crashed first corner and got up dead last, he had to get back to top 14 for aus to qual after Chads 14th and Luke's no pionts. So it was a very nervous ride back to 12th. His very unhappy about 37th gate pick in both his motos(lol) but ready to have a good go!
I can understand why clout would be getting the better gate pick but I actually thought it would be better for Mossy to have the best gate pick in the MX1/OPEN class, Moss is a better starter than chad and i think he could make better use with it. I think Reed could maybe come through the pack a bit quicker from the 37th gate pick….

Whats with Aussies and bad luck at MXON?
I just looked at the results from previous years and I'm still amazed how we didn't podium the 2 years we sent Reed/Meltcafe/Byrne….

Man, I reckon we could have podiumed last year if Waters didn't have 2 first turn crashes. That was a surprisingly strong team last year, and one that I'd like to see again

hahaha damn those pesky facts

Seriously though WTF does everyone get so worked up over this euro vs usa thing? Am I the only person who understands the fact that they all haul ass? We have mxdn at AMA tracks in 2007 and 2010 and guess what ama riders win every moto. We have mxdn at GP tracks and guess what GP riders win a higher % of the motos.

I only wish each of our series had 4 combined races, two at ama tracks and two at GP tracks, think how deep the fields would be at those four races!

Oh Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess this is what my 2 Nieces (actually very, very distant cousins - Danish) were raving about to Unkel Baerer, yesterday. I've been a bit crook, and being on crutches, I've pretty much ensconsed myself in some swanky Monster facilities (my 'Nieces' Dads a big wig in Monster Europe) this weekend.

Obviously, I'm not being much of a responsible chaperone to my teenage girl relo's - they came back to me, wild eyed, and turned into crazy blonde fuzz balls, going on about being 'Slangebossed into the Sky"' Now I know what 'Slangebosse' means - they wouldn't translate it for me, they just kept on laughing like loons.They're both very good MX racers, but I worry about their bloody fearlessness at times.

Geeze I hope I can keep up with them today. The racing, should be good.

Glad Tomac used his head, did the smart thing, and got us directly into the main motos.

Hope Martin is feeling OK today, as we need a top 15 out of him in one moto.

Dungey needs to forget about the whole "playing it safe for the team" concept and let it rip.

Let's go USA!

I would love to see Dungey go for it for once.

I said,forget sratistics.
Roczen smoked 2 of 3 US champs on an AMA track in 2011.Desalle won his class too in 2011!!!
In other words,GP riders can race on AMA tracks.Forget your shit about",lets watch racing them in merica".Wink
Good luck for today.
USA are still the No.1 out there.

For sure. Waters still finished 5th overall in the open class despite as you said 2 first turn crashes.
I still can't get over Ferris's rides…

Next year will be interesting… Hopefully Waters and Ferris both have decent season's and stay healthy as they could be in line for the team next year.

It's one race. MM25 won two world titles yet has five wins in the AMA in years of racing. Roczen won two lites MX races in two years. Rattery and Tommy are both back in Europe after failing to get the results they wanted here. When someone comes to an AMA track from the GP's and wins loads of races right off the bat then we should change, until then are team and fans should stop making excuses about an event that since 1982 we have won more than all the other countries combined.

I'm talking just about the MXDN and our performance the last few years. I do think our guys not being used to the rough poorly groomed tracks plays a part, not an excuse, just my opinion on it. I will say, they did seem to leave the tracks alone more this year outdoors then previous years. Bottom line is we need to step it up again.
i really dont understand why you are saying that the GP tracks are rougher. The track didnt look that rough yesterday. The AMA tracks gets super gnarly and to me looks just as rough as the GP tracks.

But you should anyway as it's usually very entertaining Smile

Moss was the unsung hero of the Aussie team yesterday really. Was impressed with Clouts speed too, hope he keeps it out of the fencing today!

Can I count on your guys support here to get team Ireland though this B final?

Going to be tough, Spain have 3 quick riders and prob the fastest with butron, though Barr was only 0.5 sec of him in warm up

With the b final, is it all 3 riders on the gate for a one race shootout? Do the top few teams bump up to the mains?

Yes all three riders are on the gate only the 2 best results for each team count tho. In event of a tie break the 3rd rider position will count.

Only the winning team gets bumped up to the mains
