It's impossible for me to NOT be happy for the guy!
Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself. You've got to believe in foolish miracles. It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose. You can choose. Don't confuse. Win or lose. It's up to you!

You’d think it would be impossible for anyone to not be happy for him……
I think that the folks giving you the negative thumbs are the children who can’t separate this from other things that they may disagree with you about.

What difference does it make where the winner comes from?

Pretty sure that Roczen is an American citizen, so you can shove your xenophobia up your ass.

Mmmhmm.
This gives a vibe that you sandbag the beginner class to get trophies. Im sure you are just crying inside that the Aus Lawrence brothers went 1-2.

No worries. It ain't our "karma". You and I remember that night at Anaheim where we were all SURE he was done.
And, he proved us wrong.
That last moto, today...from NOT giving a single inch to Eli...at all...and staying in it to the very end...
PURE BAD ASS.

You missed the point. Your viewpoint is so lame that YOU probably sandbag the beginner class for trophies. Im sure you lost a lot of sleep last year when a French and Aus guy won the outdoors last year.

Nothing wrong with someone wanting their countrymen to win ..
Didn't realize MXDN was supposed to be an Asexual drum circle.

I did not miss any point you tried to make. Yes, I didn't love the outcome of last years outdoors. and according to your theory you want to give everyone a trophy. You do realize in other sports that's how this works right? people root for different guys/teams etc.

I just said you probably race beginners to get a trophy. In no way did I say everyone should get a trophy. Read my whole post.

That’s a little overboard. Every Aussie I know pulls for the Lawrence brothers and any other Aussie racer. That’s cool, it’s a huge part of all sports. Are they xenophobic in your opinion?
Anyway, good on Roczen. He look great today. This could be a very memorable Nationals season. I only wish Ferrandis was healthy and racing.

Roczen raced weird.
He just rolled over to every pass all day. Except that last battle with tomac.
I know he is trying to not get in mid moto battles so it doesn't compromise his late race pace.

Everyone hates but he’s now won an overall and a SX main this year. If you listened to the people on here, they’d have you believing he would struggle to find a ride next year. SMH

I was at the trophy presentation. There's a whole lot of American love for Kenny and the Lawrence boys. Seems Americans can dig just about anybody.

You should probably stick to American sports like baseball then since motocross racing came from Europe and all.

Eli had him passed twice! Kenny just sneaks back by!
That was really gritty! I think Eli settled thinking he had the overall. But anything can happen in racing. I bet he wishes he had those last few laps back to re-do.

Great to see the fight from Roczen! Despite not winning, Eli enjoyed the battle! Roll on High Point!

No person has a choice where they are born, but yet that’s how you judge people. Fucking brilliant.

Kenny lives down the road and surfs.
That’s how I think of him.
NFG about all the rest of it.

The dude roots for Americans to win. Really not the the big deal everyone is piling on him for. Am I missing some deleted posts from him where he said outlandish shit about foreign riders?
