I'm pretty sure they have already selected a different team that they will be coming here with.
Obviously without AC or DP.

This really is stupid......like 1st graders fighting over a toy. Are the riders under any contract with the Feds? I think it would be a great slap in the face to guys on their tall horses if some big name sponsors brought the big dog Italian riders over inspite of the ferderation.

Say what you want about Americans, but we love competition.

Hi, I'm Italian, I want to share my opinion with you guys (without offendig anyone):



1. Nothing new under the sun: this issue has been dragged on for a few years now



2. I'm sure this time our well hated Luongo is not guilty (a move like this one would upset the beloved sponsors)



3. Philippaerts and Cairoli would be onored to represent their Nation in the most important race of the year, and has absolutely no sense to tell that Cairoli doesn't want to race 'cause he's afraid to have his ass kicked by Ryan Dungey (and vice-versa) : they are the best riders in the world and to be the best you CAN'T fear your competition.



4. The FMI (which stands for Federazione Motociclistica Italiana) is trying to "strongarm" the Teams with this "Maglia Azzurra" project, no one of us riders knows what kind of money is involved with this, but the FMI said that they put on the line 50,000€ which is the equivalent of 63,275 us$ to go to the MXoN:

how many 63,275 $$ KTM, YAMAHA, RedBull and Monster hand out to a world class Team? Only to have their logos erased in the biggest race?



5. I want to show you some pics to give you a better idea:

this will be the official jersey (pretty lame and soccer team-like in my opinion) of the Italian team:

http://www.federmoto.it/Portals/0/Immagini/RedattoreFMI/magliaazzurra/a…


this was the Team RedBull KTM proposal (pretty reasonable I think, and better looking too) just click on the thumbnails:

http://www.motoverte.com/...-italien--54404.html



The big losers are us, the fans, and I blame the FMI for this: bureaucracy sucks!

angel387mx - what do you think the chances are of the situation being resolved? Surely all those involved realise that between them they are robbing us all of a fantastic occasion?

The situation is tragic, I almost feel like flying over to Italy and banging on some peoples doors! Grinning

Dearest Self-Righteous Ass,

Check the spelling on this: Ignorant

So, the Aussie's, French, English...etc. don't take it, the MXdN, seriously? Right.

We don't "rate"?
We need to race the GPs?
Really?
That series offers MORE to OUR "Fast-Guys"?
Seems that OUR Racers and the Factory Teams don't see it that way.

Btw, GP racers seem to enjoy coming over here to race, don't they?

Besides, if we did race the GP circuit...we'd win that, TOO...

I'm jus' sayin'...

Hi knobby, maybe I misunderstood your post BUT -without offending anyone- your statement puts your motocross knowledge ratio in serious jeopardy:
Belgium's Clement Desalle (a rider I like a lot) didn't put on a bad show in the only US National he raced in this year, AND you have to consider that Cairoli beats him on a regular basis, sooooo...

You misunderstood. He was saying that Mike Alessi isn't doing anything with his 350 so Antonio could borrow it if he needed too.

Do you have any names of the fuckheads in FMI that are killing this event? Maybe even an email adress? Or home adress? Smile

In times like these I miss TFS, he usually made some digging and put the card to the table and manages to explain things properly from both sides so even I calmed down.

Where are the "journos"? This is the biggest news this year, and NO reporting?

Utter, absolute, total, 100% Italian disgrace. And yes, the Team Red Bull KTM Jerseys are better looking by a long, long way.

I still haven't decided what's more entertaining - TeamEuro's posts or the inevitable reactions they get.

In the meantime, carry on, makes for interesting reading when I'm bored at work.

Back on topic, FWIW it sucks that AC (the others) won't be coming - I still think Dungey has only been really pushed once or twice this year, and AC could be the guy to do it.

Do yo hanno alcuna connessione La Cosa Nostra che si può contattare per convincere forse la Federazione Motociclistica Italiana a lasciarli andare?

Toni Caroli on the podium after the first MX1 race in Brazil said "he is dissapointed in not being able to come to the US for the Des Nations." This Sucks!
In our MX forum ( www.mxbars.net ) we have a lot of Sicilian guys, but for the most part they are financially broke, so I think they are not Cosa Nostra members!

your the ignorant bitch, he wants to go, and who is going to beat him?, he easily has Desalle covered, so it would be great to see him and RD have at it.
