That's nonsense since there were obvious starting positions that gave "the world" an advantage in the above scenario. Line up our three guys on the front row, and "the world's" three guys on the front row. I bet U.S.A. would win. Cairoli had a bad start and only worked up to fourth, so do think that Canard would be beat that bad if he had a good start? Not likely, the above results would be entirely different.

So you are saying the US would only get to have 3 riders and then we would pit the best riders from every nation pit again the US. Sounds fair to me. Not.

Lets take the top 20 riders from the states , 10 450 and 10 250 and pit them against the top 20 from the rest of the world. America would still win. LOL, no matter how you slice it, it comes up America. Go America! LOL

If raw numbers and wealth wins championships, why doesn't America dominate in MotoGP the same way they do in motocross. Probably interest in the sport would be my guess, but still it means Americans are not as good a the Euros in MotoGP (though we are getting better). We can admit that but the Euros will still hold on to the pipe dream they are better than Americans. LOL

Better yet, why don't we create a world race, US against the world and remove our top 10 guys from the 450 and 10 from the 250 and let the rest of them battle the Euros, then MAYBE the Euros would win and we would no have to see these stupid posts anymore. LOL

With the advancement of medical technology in sex change, that would be possible, Euros beating the Americans is not a possiblity. LOL

US is not as strong in road racing as motocross, but there have been world champions such as Kenny Roberts, Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey and Kevin Schwantz as well as Kenny Roberts Jr and Nickey Hayden.

Spain, Italy, and Austrailia definitely shine in road racing though.
