Every year starts and we hear about how deep the MXGP class is. This guy that or that guy this and the Euro King AC already has a 30 point lead after 3 rounds which is exactly how I predicted it would happen. Brazil was another clinic he let 21 and 25 know that this is my series you guys are just gate filler. I say number 8 comes two to three races before the season is up. Who here thinks anyone in the class can challenge AC for more than a weekend?
And the Internet will simultaneously implode and explode!

When people mention depth in the series (and I know some people do like to make a regular point of it) I don't think they necessarily mean GP winners, but more the general level of competition of the top 10-12 when it includes a healthy De Dycker and Searle, Riders on the cusp of the top 12 in the GPs such as Mattis Karro or Xavier Boog are also quite underrated. It is a pretty strong field. But just like RV in America AC is a notch above everyone else.
One rider came thru,tooling along ,looked like a lapper,and the booth guys say "there is soandso holding down 7th"
And the gaps were huge.No way 222 comes here and wins,he aint used to running wfo for 30min.
Few GP tracks have nice, loamy dirt which American riders have become accustomed to riding flat out.
More so if it was a winter schedule, he has sills.
Maybe if he still has the desire after 11 Titles and 102 Wins he might ponder over.
It's hard to see how any of the other guys have a title chance over the entire series regardless of whether they pull a win back now and then.

I told numerous times that euros, australians, south africans or new zealanders coming to america are a big asset in term of global exposure. Hey, outside the US is what, only 55% of the dirt bike market ?
I had the same problem with the sx as soon as RV didnt have to win for the championship.
MX2 was good racing though, felt sorry for Covington , looked like he was doing well till an off.
I just want to see bar banging and exchanging places for the entire race and then a total unkown come from the back and take the win (preferably on a 2 smoker)
Desalle and de Dycker usually seem to get the better of him too when their type of track clicks,but it usually ends up the same pattern for AC obviously,same as RV in the Nationals,but there'll be some who'll pinch a win there too no doubt,can't wait for GH
Van Horbeek looks extremely impressive,he's going to be a genuine contender at the rate he's going too
Extra credit- Who was the last rider to win 4 straight motos over two years at the MXdN other than AC222 of course?
Look how many won titles,left ,and came here to start the climb .
He would get his ass handed to him,be lucky t o make top 5 his 1st yr,
But,we will never know,cuz he won't come here,ever wonder why? Don't say money,he has money
But you say that Antonio Cairoli - who beats Desalle week in, week out - would be lucky to make top five in America?
He has plenty of money already so why doesn't he Challenge himself now and go race AC, oh thats right he has a contract to race ama.
AC probably has a contract as well so sounds similar. Bonuses for both would be nice as well.
So what is the exact score in MXON between these 2 champs, and shame Geoff is not here to give an update on Jeffrey.
