I keep reading post on here and many other sites that a lot of Americans are rooting for the Aussies at MXON as well as USA. They say that because they race here they're some what adopted Americans by AMA default..lol. BS .. Hey I'm a big fan of Metty and Burner and respect the hell out of Chad but next week they're the enemies..You guys may as well adopt the French and the South Africans. Hell they race here too.lol In fact Australia is part of the Brittish Empire too so the Britts are American too by default. MXON isn't time to adopt the enemy. It's time to wave the American flag and root for are guys that are in a foreign land with bulls eyes on their backs,and having shit thrown at them while they race trying, to keep the Chamberlin trophy where it belongs. USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
It's hard to forget the Australian / American alliance ...but for that weekend it's OVER !!

I hope it's USA and Australia 1-2...with another team with an AMA rider in third (England, S. Africa)...total and utter AMA dominance of the event. 7 of the 9 riders on the top three teams at the mxdn would be AMA Riders...I'd love it.
Searle and Musquin for MX2
Philippaerts and Ramon for MX3
Some of you have probably noticed that my predictions change everyday................................................................................F*ck it, i'm saying team GB to dominate like those ginger guys in 2007.
The one point I'll argue is the Searle MX2...really? Over Weimer? Wiemer has had Searle Covered all summer. With Metcalf and Rattray right in there too.
And I think it'll be a Reed/Dungey/Cairolli (is he in?) battle in MX1
You're probably right in mx3...though I think Tedesco and Byrner will be close.
Just like millions of others who have came across the pond over the years to this country chasing the American dream.
The money, press and the easy assimilation into the lifestyle and culture. Oh, did I mention the money.
I go to the US twice a year or so for work and have a great time.
Having said that, Oz for the MXON!!
I was at the MXDN in 07 and the only regret I have is that Stewart wasn't there. Carmichael, Villopoto, Stewart would have been the all time greatest team ever--including the Bailey, Johnson, O'Mara team of 86. I'm bummed we didn't get to see that combo in 06 or 07 and now never will.
This years preperations haven't exactly gone to plan; Mackenzie and Simpson have been out injured most of the season, the team manager gets sacked, MX1 rider Anderson breaks his thumb and now our MX3 rider Nunn has broken his Fibula - both of whom have had very good domestic seasons. As yet we still don't have a named MX3 rider!
Im with you on the MXDN US team for 06/07 - that would have definitely been the best team ever. Some 50,000+ GP fans (some reports say 80,000) from all over the World attended Matterly Basin in '06, that says alot about the respect most of us have for those three riders.
If they were serious about giving someone a chance (kid) the MX3 class should be dropped and make it an under 18 class on 250F's

MXDN, fall air, US open coming up...the 2010 season will be here before we know it.
I think all the British fans will light a fire underneath tommys ass and he'll pull off something amazing.
Race 1: Reed 12th, Metcalfe 17th
Race 2: Byrne 8th, Metcalfe 10th
Race 3: Reed 8th, Byrne DNF/Crashed
