mine quite isn’t there yet but I’m trying
Yep and still theirs.
I really don’t get the US obsession with money, especially in sports.
If you’re representative of the Mx fraternity in The U.S, I’m starting to see the problem here.

Lol, you are the one complaining,not me if you are that upset,form your own team ,simple. But of course you wont do anything but complain about someone elses $$.
Anyone who is not a prick would let him complain and say nothing.
Maybe contact yamaha, crazy idea. Doing nothing ,solves nothing.
To do what? Tell them they should have given Deegan whatever it was he wanted to go?
So worrying about how someone spends their own $. On vital solves the problem. Lol. Ok dude. Who cares, their $$ their choices.
Sunday tickets were $115 euros for adults, $50 euros for kids, and $30 euros for pit pass. FIM could have easily taken $5 from each ticket sold to add into the purse. 102K attendance x $5 each ticket added into the purse = $510K purse. Split it up evenly, everyone can get paid better than the joke it is now. FIM can sacrifice $5 a ticket when it seems they aren't putting barely any of the money back into the purse.
worried is stupid description of the narrative at hand. I’m not worried at all if you guys send your best riders or not. I do despair at the country with most lucrative MX industry puts dollars before sport. Thankfully there is USA competitors like Simone Biles in other arenas so us Euros can realize it’s just a mindset within the MX fraternity.
I don't know where you got these numbers from ''the last time I checked'' but I suspect they're complete bollocks.
Here's the entire budget for Team Canada, based on 15 personnel, and which was entirely funded by the excellent fundraising efforts of their federation.
The fundraiser was organized by the team manager.
Edit: She was at most if not all the rounds of the Canadian nationals selling merchandise.
What makes you think I am worried? I am not in the least BTW. Why are you so concerned?
Wow I thought they worked for the Canadian federation, that's even more impressive.
I hope they can muster up the same commitment for next year given the appalling luck they had at Ernee.
Easy to scroll then. Its a public message board.
I think everyone involved including the team manager will be extra motivated in getting us to Matterley Basins next year.
That's like $50K in USD...
Pit Row
Where's your proof on that....or is it just rumor that you take as fact...as that rumor was wrong...
Combine this thread with

and you get a shit sandwich that the FIM is feeding to everyone.
I don't see how budget is relevant to results.
Using that way of thinking, maybe if the US had spent even more money they would have won the event.
Apparently you missed the shenanigans at the Ryder Cup this year lol
much ?......i would say world champions, but of hipocrisy.....
who paid star and honda to go race an extra race that doesnt count for nothing, last year ????, how much did Tomac, Sexton and Cooper were pa[d to race that race and by whom ???? what did any of the riders or teams had to gain last year that they didnt have this ????.......
some years ago there were no problem founding a us mxdn team, they won all over the world, not even claiming the race to be in us, they would show the world how great us racers were and how proud their fans were.......then the others got better and better, doing, what was said by the americans, to be all wrong( youthstream and infront), while americans put everything on supercross and start to go "fancy", fancy teams, fancy tracks, fancy training facilities.....and with that they started to lose the grit and the core of motocross, kids dont have a championship to lear how to manage races, with diferent conditions one after the other, they get too picky, they only ride good in perfect conditions......they dont even ride in the rain anymore !!!!!!!!
so now it is a huge financial and logistic problem to race mxdn for usa, if its not at a american "fancy" track, and then we see all those excuse as if we were all stupid and dont understand what is going on.....
i quit givivg opinion on what should change in usmx, i quit having to deal with all the short-minded rednecks, being ofensive and rude, just because i pointed out something not done the best way.......now i just enjoy all the big opinion maker of america going back and forth with excuses, even stupid ones sometimes, counter-saying even themselves, to protect a "status quo" where motocross is 2nd tier to fancy stadium races for city fans
the truth is 2023 MXdN was huge, great to watch , with all local champions from all over the world fighting for the win, including all north america, and every one of them racing proudly for their nations glory .......as i said before the race, this race doesnt need the usa team anymore, so let them with their illusions, like calling Deegan a world champion, and with their "fancy" racing, that i enjoy to watch too, while the real world of motocross will rest a bit and then get ready for 2024 to be an even better year all together......
So star where happy to send ferrandis and cooper , happy to have merch made up , happy to go every other year , but not happy to send deegan , I get it 😂
I did see the Ryder cup and I see your point. Only player moaning about not getting paid was American.
With 102k in attendance at $100/ticket, that's $10million.
The purse should've been much, much, higher.
It seems the riders' national pride is being taken advantage of.
Am I wrong?
You need to try harder to get there.
Again show proof that they were was happy to send Ferrandis and Cooper...How do I know you are full of shit...Cooper was never in consideration as he was getting married that weekend....They said publicly that they didn't have the budget for it because of SMX...but you can keep on tinfoiling because of your need to blame Deegan...
They were going to support Cooper before the MXdN date was changed.
Ferrandis asked the team of they would support him if he was chosen to represent France, and they said yes.
Be careful man. They will be calling you the second dumbest fuker on the board.
