In the second part of our mini-series we have a look behind the scenes during press day where the riders are a little bit more relaxed and a bit more willing to say what they really feel, including a showdown between Christophe Pourcel and Ryan Villopoto

VILLOPOTO, DONT COME IN OUR PITS, deans like no, AND NOT BY THE ALPINSTARS EITHER, haahaa, these kids are fuking badass man
WTF AT 1:00, REALLLY guess thats how the euros do things
GO USA!!!
i love albertsons playful attitude he has. rv cracking me up when he was screwing with wilson about not coming into usa pits. and what the hell did cp say at end when he was sitting and talking to rv??
oops!!...... USA pits
Pourcel said "your doing better than me-you won everything this year".
Whats with the headline. USA taking on the world. If only that were true. The truth is, you are taking on exactly what every other nation is taking on, other individual countries, only in your case you have a population equivilent to Europe´s, so the dice ar well and truely stacked in your favour. But I guess it makes you feel superior, so hey, carry on.
If you really wanted a fair contest, you would call for a rule change like international golf. Ryders cup = Europe v USA, and Presidents cup pits USA against Europe with a third team consisting of the rest of the world. These are fair formats. Why don´t you petition for the same. Are you so afraid you´d get your asses handed to you every year, and the only way you can win anything is with the present formula? What cowards you guys are.
Signed up to watch!!!
Cairoli pushed RD the whole way but RD came thru!!

United States has 312 million people. The total population of all other countries entered in the race is about 1.25 billion, conservatively. So sure Euromite, a USA versus The World race would be fair (sarcasm). But guess what? We'd still win. Do yourself a favor...give up. You know, like your countries did when the Nazis marched through. Who YOU calling cowards?
Thanks for the update BillC! euromike go to Bench Racing Ammo USA mx of nations history and see Danny o's commment. Well writen and to the point maybe you will gather enough info from that to get your brain functioning a little better. Or maybe you need a few more warm beers. Can't imagine drinkin' warm beer but I've been told that's what they do. Seriously mike, how about some no B.S. feedback on the warm beer thing. Is it a certain type or brand of beer? Kinda curious about this. Not pickin on you. Please, a little serious feedback?
And besides that, your FIM sets the format, which has been changed time and time again in an attempt to end our domination. Nice try, but no cigar. You're actually a great representative of Europe's best riders; you come to the USA for the best racing (them to our series/you to our websites).
So euromike...was that you getting spanked, or were you the one doing the spankin? Either way I think it explains alot about you!
I think I threw up in my mouth a little at the 1:00 mark, I hope they didn't show anything important for the next minute, cause I just sat with a blank expression for at least a minute. France and Italy look pretty strong. Anyways, good job today- Make us proud tomorrow! USA USA USA
That was some funny stuff right there, and thanks Bill C is there any way you could keep us posted on the races tomorrow too?
Euromike get ready to watch your team get walked on tomorrow!!
Can't wait for Tony C to show all you amerikans that the fastest rider is in Europe! And yes while you may have saved our asses in WW2 remember it was our women keeping your boys warm at night!
Signed, Eurodouche
@EuroMike--WAAAAAAAA!!, go make excuses and cry somewhere else. That is why the USA is NO.1. No Excuses..
RV punking on Deano....that was funny (unless he was serious).... Deano's face expression is classic..... But they are all buds....would love to be there stumbling around buzzed in some USA shwag rooting these 3 guys on!
Pourcel was being a smartass I think....but he is a frenchie so who knows WTF he was trying say...seems jealous to me....
After re-watching it, I think Pourcel is kid of being a dickhead to RV... he says " your better than me" is a somewhat sarcastic tone........
The headline refers to the U.S. as the defending champs and the keepers of the Trophey. So we have to defend all-comers to keep it. But you can be a dick about it if you want Euromike.
So your theory is that since we have a big population that we have a larger pool of athletes to pull from therefore giving us an un fair advantage? With that in mind, Team China and Team India should lay waste to the world of MX!! But how bout this and I'm not calling who will win this thing cause its a race and anything can happen,,, but they did just run the qualifiers and USA went 1-1-1. against the rest of the nations. They still won? so the "format" still wouldn't have changed the result. So now what?
So I propose this, I will drag my sorry ass off my road bike, dust off my old practice, it's an 08 450, (I got rid of everything else when I quit) and you get the two fastest guys you personally know and I'll get two of the fastest old Vet guys in the just the State that I live in that I know and we will have a little mini MXDN. we will have to bid on a track location, but we will get it set up and make it happen. Euromike, you are all mouth my buddy. F.O.S. as they say.
Hey EURODOUCHE, it is USA taking on the world. Just like you can say your team is taking on the world. You ignorant pricks got us all wrong. One thing you do have right is you know we will be spanking your asses once again. So go back to the drawing board and write up some more excuses to why you think were THE BEST and FASTEST riders in the world.
Pourcel was being a sarcastic prick. Hes just mad he couldnt win two championships in a row and a factory team didnt pick him up. Crybaby, stay in europe, you look fast over there. hahaha
Hey Kawak. Looks like hes not the fastest rider in the world. I believe Dungey just beat him straight up in qualifying. So much for that headline. Oh wait i just heard Cairoli crashed in the first race. Bummer. Wrong again buddy
