That, and the overly groomed AMA outdoor tracks.
It’s pretty obvious.

Then take a look at your fast guys here
why do you guys have such a hard time to show respect for the fastest guys in the world?
You just have an national championship as all other countrys
If you want to show moto stats for a single race how about Tomac's from 2016, 2 yrs ago when he finished 1st 4 of 4 moto's (including Glen Helen against TonyC, Febvre, Tim G, etc) and Tomac finished well ahead of everyone. If I'd look up those timings, all 4 moto's from both USGP's would show Tomac as a bit faster than all of the 450 MXGP guys for those 2 weekends - so here's last year's (as it's more recent and includes Herlings on the 450) timings where Tomac finished around 30 sec in front of Herlings & around 1min ahead of Coldenhoff. So i don't think last year 2017 that Tomac went from beating those guys soundly in a moto to suddenly they can all lap him and Tomac can't touch Lupino.
The 4 moto's of MXGP that Tomac swept 2 years ago and the moto he won just 1 year ago (which he finished 3rd in the 2nd moto last year behind Herlings / Tony C) - 1 race does not tell everything. Yes , MXGP 450 class is ahead of the US at the moment in outdoors, pure motocross as a whole for sure, most everyone here will say that. But no reason to call US fans here "retards" and spend your time in another country's forums berating their users. I'm still sure there weren't many if any US fans posting on MXGP based forums being so harsh to their members, I sure hope not anyway.
To match your timings above, lets take MXGP results from just a year ago (in the MX2 class Hampshire swept both motos beating Lawrence, Jonass, Prado, etc & at the time RJ Hampshire had never even won a US national, it was his 1st pro win when a year ago he swept the MX2 MXGP class in Florida - so now suddenly just 1 year later the US riders are horrible ? If based on just a couple of moto's how about RJ's sweep of Prado, and others last year? It's just a couple of moto's. Also Barcia last week couldn't beat Candad's Tyler M. - that normally never would happen, it was just a really bad day for whatever reason, no excuses the US definitely didn't do well last week but for the most part only a small handful of US riders ride USGP's but usually win.
It would take a series to really gauge everyone though surely overall in outdoors especially 5th - 15th MXGP would be ahead likely but just b/c last week went so badly u suddenly throw out that RJ beat all of MX2 MXGP a year ago and Tomac shared moto wins with Herlings having won the 1st one as shown in the pic below by nearly 30 sec?
It takes more than a race or two to really know what's up though again MXGP is ahead of the US in outdoors overall which they should be now that as if you watched the MEC last night which i'm sure you did not but you'd see all of the top kids coming up which is the trend for many years now , it's all about Supercross, even more than ever with amatuer supercross races on sunday's after 9 full SX races in 2019.
Taking so much time away from motocross to learn supercross (shorter races, focusing on SX skills) will and has over time taken a toll on outdoor skills it seems. It is what it is, no need to go to another country's forums and call their users retards when most here admit that MXGP is ahead in motocross. An excuse / reason for a decline in pure US moto outdoor skills , yep, but it is what it is.
