This is all while trying to learn Supercross in a country where nobody speaks his natural language.
1) Amateur Ranks
2) Lites Class
3) MX Class
This is the progress to 'dominate' in America, this is why EVERY amateur hotshot heads to the lites class, because they aren't ready for the mx class. They need time to mature. Every Euro import ends up doing fine in the lites which is no guarantee of success in the mx class (ask roncado, pichon, or sorby)
it's always been that way, anyone who knows anything about american mx understands this. So when a 'world champ' comes over and has to ride in our rookie class (generally 16, 19 yr olds) for 3 years or more then I can't understand where all the Euro braggin is comin from...
bottom line, our lites class is just that...lites, its not the premier class in America and 5 titles in the lites class don't amount to the respect of 1 in the mx class...we love the lites class because we anticipate how they will do in the mx class, the final echelon in America
you can say 'big money' and 'big sponsors' and 'national title' all you want but the reality of American mx is in the 450 class...when you win there, you win in america...
I realize this is just a Euro stab at America, but really, anyone with any knowledge of the american scene understands what both classes are all about.
Still, I don't want to disrespect the lites class, all pros are talented, but to say that the lites class is the dominating class in America is seriously false...so when all the foreigners jump up and start winning, then you can talk...finally
go BT101, much more respect for what he is doing then CP377(no disrespect)...

Don't get me wrong. I like Tyla. I think he's a class act and one hell of a rider. I just think he needs to move up.
People seem to consider that the AMA 250 class is a support or entry level class, despite the fact that it has full AMA National Title status, and many have no issue with counting AMA 250 titles amongst a rider's career achievements.
