PrintSeven times then. That puts the current success pretty much in the same bracket as 1987 (Hannah, Johnson, Ward) in terms of the last American streak to decimate the list of Chamberlain Trophy winners. As in the previous two editions of this tournament—Italy in 2009 and USA in 2010—the Nations went down to the last of the three motos and the trio of the Ryans and Blake Baggett were able to reign supreme over France and a buzzing Australian crew for the USA’s twenty-second victory.
After going 1-1-1 on the first day it would have taken something pretty special to replicate the same level of dominance across all three motos, and when the rain came on Saturday evening the playing surface changed. A slippery, soft and heavily rutted terrain contained more than enough rocky hard-pack; the St Jean stones also led to the sight of broken roll-offs, lens’ and even eye injuries (check Christophe Pourcel, Ken Roczen and Evgeny Bobryshev for examples). Baggett, a little reckless with two crashes in both motos to go 17 and the scratched score, said “this track was by far the most difficult I have ridden.” While Villopoto (3-1, MX Open winner and victim of an impressive Jeffrey Herlings shining for Holland on a factory KTM 450SX-F) also had his opinion: “It was a tough track for us because we don’t have ones like that in the States. Our learning curve had to be really quick and we had to make adjustments to the bike to make us feel better. The complete rock hillside with a little bit of dirt on top of it was the hardest part of the track; it was tough for us but we were able to get it done so it feels great.”

So Villopoto won MX Open, Dungey went 3-2 in MX1 and Baggett was fourth overall in MX2, but his contribution—certainly in terms of the enthusiasm he projected towards the whole experience—was essential. Chad Reed placed one collective Australian hand on the podium champagne with his second Nations victory (the first exactly ten years ago at Namur) in the first sprint as Dungey had to watch Roczen display bravado through a five minute heavy downpour on the 250SX-F in front.
The Aussies would suffer with Matt Moss incurring technical trouble—which meant he didn’t even start the second race—but Brett Metcalfe was up to the task (7-10) for a historic first podium: “We came here Friday for the press conference and it almost felt like we were the laughing stock, like ‘here comes Team Australia again, a great team but they’ll probably take seventh again like every year.’ To finally get that out of the way and get on the podium is awesome for Australian motocross, Chad rode incredible in the first moto. This is a big moment for us,” exclaimed Metcalfe.
This was a dramatic Nations and it was fuelled by a crowd that numbered 68,000 for the weekend. Gautier Paulin, one week after his Italian Grand Prix victory, created the defining moment for the majority of the noisy flag-waving public when he beat Herlings and Villopoto in Moto2. The Brits were winning overall after the first (Dean Wilson managing a ninth even with a broken scaphoid and Tommy Searle a whirlwind after his quiet performance on Saturday by going 4-4 on the KX450F), and the French had a nine point gap over the USA after the second. It would take something special to ease this away from the home nation and both Ryans were in the top three by the first corner of the last affair; part of the job—lacking earlier in the day—was done.

For many non-USA followers the crucial incident of the day took place in the opening laps of that last race when Team France’s chances of success evaporated with the air inside Christophe Pourcel’s rear tire as the former AMA star was on the verge of following Villopoto and opening up a duel for the trophy that might have had onlookers talking about this meeting for years to come. The DNF—that saw the rider punching the air in fury—pretty much guaranteed American glory and the entertainment factor of the moto then came from the tussle between Russian Evgeny Bobryshev, Searle, Reed and Paulin; the latter needing to up his game to make sure France did not lose the second plinth of the podium.
What else emerged from this 65th incarnation? Roczen, as said, was superb and Honda’s works bike can certainly get off the line as Bobryshev was able to be a protagonist despite not being fully fit and being smashed in the face by a rock in the first moto. Team Italy could only take consolation for Davide Guarneri’s decent showing to fourth in the MX Open class as Alex Lupino crashed heavily and Tony Cairoli misjudged the ground on the first corner and also went down. A second fall while clawing back through the field completely smashed his handlebars and also caused a fracture to his left scaphoid; a truly draining and testing two weeks for the MX1 World Champion.

Team Belgium achieved their top five goal—and full credit to Mavin Van Daele, a postman by trade, for his ninth place finish overall in MX1. Team Germany were undone by Danny Siegl’s second moto DNF; the rider was a late replacement for factory KTM star Max Nagl.
The important factor in Team USA’s comeback from the points deficit was highlighted by both Roger De Coster and Dungey. “In 2009 and 2010 we were going into the last race and I remembered what I said at the beginning of the day to Blake and Ryan and that’s to never give up,” said the outgoing Suzuki racer. “It will go down to the wire and it always has. That never say die mentality was there the whole day.”
After a lengthy AMA season indoors and out and an intense FIM World Championship the motocross campaign can now down-tools with only a few scattered national series left to run and, of course, the novel Monster Energy Cup will take over Vegas in the middle of next month.

Go USA! Thanks guys!!
Congratulations team USA.!!!!!...... to EuroMike......... hope you enjoy the little rock you live under until next year!
Well done Ryans and Blake! Thanks for keeping the streak alive even in the rain!
Also congrats to Team Australia. Great rides for Reed and Metcalf. AMA guys did well today.
Well done USA super proud of your effort, lets all take the high ground when the Euro whining and excuses start.
Go USA!! Bye to EuroMike!
I`m awfully proud of that red white, and blue
So regularly-250 riders take 2nd and 3rd in the Open class, and also 2nd and 3rd in MX1. So, of the 9 riders on the 3 podiums, 7 normally ride 250s......This means something, not sure what. Paulin and arguably Rattray are big for the 250, but Searle and Herlings weigh like 15lbs each. I got nothing.
Pity about CP's Moose..... Even if he won (don't think RV would have had any of that); with our guys 2nd and 3rd we still win. Would have been fun race to see though. CP had already passed RD when the moose started to come out of the back wheel. As long as we win, I am for an exciting race.
Congrats Team USA, sorry I doubted you when you were down 4 going to last moto but you Ryan's are really a dynamic duo for sure.
Truley a great 3rd moto, i was up out of my seat, fantastic,
Oi Oi Oi
Watch RSA in the future. They will make the podium soon.
I don't think Dungey would have let CP beat him in that last moto.
Awesome race! Villopoto's expression in the photo at the top is great. It was cool to see him & Dungey celebrate like they did. Good rides from lots of other riders too. Congrats Australia & France. Interesting to note how most of the top finishers race the US series, or did or will within a a year. 8 of top 11 in Race 1. 5 of 11 in Race 2, and 6 of 10 in Race 3. What does that say about the US Nationals?
Way to go guys!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am Canadian but for some reason we couldnt field a team this year so naturally I cheer for my brothers to the south. USA! USA! Barring disaster I dont see any country defeating the US anytime soon.
Cant wait for Roczen!
That was the worst "write up" report I have ever read. I felt like I was reading a comp I paper where the writer was trying to impress the prof by using as many big "terms" as possible. Honestly, I felt like I was reading some kind of paper on quantum physics, it was struggling that bad to keep my attention. I guess i'll go look over on some other sites to see if anyone has written it with a little more "normal" writing and reporting skills.
If the AMA didn't abolish the Gainsville National they would of been use to this track somewhat. That track was so hard if you fell easy you got hurt. We didn't even send our best riders, and boy did we get lucky. Maybe next year we can send all 3 of our studs.
And who would that be if not the top finishing Americans in the Nationals?
Josh, try reading with a British accent. Maybe that will get you in the right frame of mind for the English language.
Congratulations RV, RD and BB! I've never seen Villopoto so fired-up before, super cool to see, he (and the rest of the team) deserve it. This makes Villotpoto tied with Jeff Emig and Johnny O'Mara for the rider who's been on the most winning MXoN teams (4 each).
Ken has been an outdoor stud for a few years but I think the first few rounds of the 2011 AMA SX "adjustment" may have made a few fans think he was a total spode (remember the flat landings, casing triples, choosing the wrong line in several corners in a row) on a bike thus making them surprised when he throttles the world's best.
That'd be Jeff Ward, KM306 - 7 times I believe.
I will be surprised if Roczen doesnt podium some SX Lites races and to be a 250 championship threat outdoors in 2012

What a fantastic year for Motocross!!
KTM gets both titles in the world series, and they have worked hard for this. They have advanced their bikes every year and have a HUGE commitment to Moto. More than any other manufacture (global).
Then there was arguably the best SX and Moto series we have had in YEARS. YEARS I SAY!!!
MXoN champions, and having it coming down to the last moto, just like sx and nationals....holy crap!
Now that is has come to an end, I find that life is now just a little boring as I have to wait for it to all start up again.
God I love this sport. Hell, I get down right cranky if I have not put in some laps on my trusty steed after a couple of weeks.
Why to go team USA!
Good job Team USA. Thanks for keeping it where it belongs!!!
If Villopoto is mocking the X Games medalists (including Josh Grant) in that photo up top--which he almost certainly is--he just earned himself about ten-thousand points in my book. That is beyond classic. He and Nick Wey have an almost 'wangsta' style and personage, but it seems mostly good-humored.
Anyway, I'm an instantly-40% bigger fan. Well done, RV.
Good job for the Red,White and Blue. The two Ryans held up well with all their competiton. As for BB, well I know it takes time to get acclimated to new and faraway lands. The kid is fast, but I guess he just got all caught up in the moment once the gate dropped. For all of these riders this race must be the ticket home so they can rest and regroup for next year. Congrats to all!
Wow. RV is in a league of his own. Look out next year. Congrats to Team USA.
Congrats to Team USA , dominant in qualifying Sat. , and even with the weather playing up, crashes etc, they dug down deep for the victory.
Commisserations to the French host nation, Paulin's superb second race the Christophe Pourcel having a blown mousse, tough luck.
Spare a thought for the Brits, leading after Moto 1, Tommy Searle's incredible ride in moto3 and well done the Aussies.
Most drama ever seen at an MXDN and great TV too!
One word. L-U-C-K-Y.
Could you have won it had the roles been reversed and Dungey´s tyre had peeled off? Could you have won it if Vilopoto´s tyre hade peeled off? You were sucking the hind one going into that last moto. You were gonna come second, then you got L-U-C-K-Y.
Read my lips. L-U-C-K-Y.
As Europe won the meeting with two moto wins to one, as well as Roznase going 1-1 in the MX2 class, against Dungey´s 3-1 in MX1 and the ginga´s 3-1 in MX3, so obviously takes the individual title, I´ve decided I´m gonna stay. Aren´t you L-U-C-K-Y?
@Euromike... Give it a rest... No big deal if the USA whips our sorry little europeans arses anyway...
And luck is also paret of the game.
They were uber dominant in qualifying... And one thing the USA always have had, in the sporting world.. This immense desire to do well accompanied with a sense of pride to represent their countries.
Of coursem other nations have this.. But for some reason, the USA does this very well in the mxodn.
France... Was the only nation who could give a run for the money... But, Pourcel is a "joker card".. He can either do well or bad... Of course, here we are talking mere bad luck... It's all part of the game.
How come this did not happen to the USA? One can easily argue, the US team is just so well prepared... Not only the riders, but the mechanics, organisation etc..etc... One interesting article was posted on a french website, regarding the incident of Pourcel... And even here they asked Vince Bereni (Mechanic) why this could have happen.. He even acknowledged that the US team is just so well prepared.. Not wanting to leave anything to chance..
At the end of the day... The name of the nation inscribed on the trophy is what will count in the history books...
Am a european, proud to be, (even if my name says otherwise.. ha,ha).. But the best nation won.. Congratulations to the USA! Well done!

You owe me a new keyboard. I just barfed on mine after reading your cräp. Jeez, grow a pair fella, open your eyes, and see the big picture. Europe won 2 moto´s and Roznase won the individual.
Yeah, Europe rules Didi, you queer faggot.
Congrats Team USA, not only my home country but my favorite riders because of their friendships and love for God, You three musketeers did extremely well. Growing up racing Villopoto in Washinghton and him winning MXDN, I can now tell my dad that he was the best on the planet....that's why he beat me lol. I love you guys for your hard work, i know have a sense of peace know i was getting beat by the bessssst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep giving the Glory to God because he holds Alll in his Hands!!!!
Congrats Team USA!! As long as you and the French are the only two countries lining up with 3 great riders en the French will get a DNF like the last three years you will win it for the next century or so..........
This really was not a surprise was it? What surprised me was that RV and RD finally had some competition going on. Except for Reed or maybe Barcia that didn't happen all season!! In Steel City they were 8 secs a lap faster than the rest of the field! Here Dungey got passed by a 17 year old on a 250 and Villopoto couldn't get around a 16 year old on a 350...... Niceeeee!!!! But hey, thank God they come from countries that are the size of Noth Carolina or maybe Team USA would finally get some competition........
So glad I payed to see it!! Last moto RV KILLED IT!!! to see him and RD both get great starts, RD2nd RV3rd I was very happy!!...
. On a side note wile they were playing our national Antham I heard a single gun shot in the background..... RIP Euro Mike!!! LOL
Euromike, Australia is not Europe dumbass.
Pourcel was FLYING in the last moto, He passed RD would have loved to see him and RV go at it!!,.... Rozen Passed RD in moto 1 to get 2nd, RD was pushing Reed for a wile the the rain came and he slowed a lot and Roczen went by. RV had a 18 sec lead over RD then slowed way down on the last lap to cross the line together was real cool. Never seen RV so happy!! Him and RD huged like crazy just off the track, Dropping there bikes right there!!
Euro TRASH TALKING Mike is still here I see. Guess he is not only a dumb ass he is a lier also. He said if TH US won he would leave this site... Guy there is no question what type of person he is now.
Hansie156 As for RV he came from way back to catch that 350, one more lap he would have got 2nd, 2 more laps he would have won I bet. He was the fastest guy there the lap times prove it. If it was a real track and not a 1:40 lap time track he would have had more time to pass them. Either way it's NOT about winning every moto it about the overall and once again the USA IS #1!! LOL
PS. Hansie156 If CP had any balls he would not have pulled in the first moto to get new goggles, No one else could see but kept raceing but not that French guy he needed new goggles WAAA WAAAA WAAAAAA I can't see... HAHAHAHA So don't blaim his moto 2 tire issues he GAVE UP IN THE FIRST MOTO... No MAN from the USA would GIVE UP like that.... THAT WHY WE WIN!!!!
@Euromike... Send me your address.. Will gladly send you one.. You live i germany right? Not too far from where I live... We could have a good chat on this one.. Am 3-4 times a year in Essen.. Visiting my old man. Germany is not that big.. Love the autobahns!!
Am no queer.. Sorry mate... Married and have two lovely kids.
The U.S. goes 1-2 in the final moto when it's crunch time, just like last year in Colorado. Hey, was that a crappy track, or what? Part of the FIM's scheme to try to keep the U.S. from winning, I guess. Wait...wait..this just in! Obama has apologized once again to the world for U.S. superiority!
Captain Dungey & Villo Boss ! USA #1, AMA #1 !! The third Moto at the MXoN is for the heroes! (Baggett you will also become a hero one day, just follow the exemple of your teammates, karma is a b...., look at cp and many more). euromike, euro? hum, you have more difference between russian and french (or between britain and italian or between british and spanish) than between americans and australians (or between british and canadian); in the same time you have more similitude between south-americans and euro latinos (italians, spanish, french, and portugueses) than between all the "euros". Then, "euro" is just a false union for an economy protection. sorry for my bad English.
but the biggest thing that all the euros share between them is their jealousy and hypocrisy towards the Americans, and it's not a provocation, it's just a reality
BTW, it seems the rougher the track gets in the late goings, riders who have ridden or are riding the U.S. series start to excel. At Lakewood last year, DeCoster was 'informing' the FIM officials that they should leave the track alone and let it get rough.
Here´s something for you patriots to think about:
If we americans are so superior in motocross why do we need DeCoster, who still sounds like a belgian tourist?
Euromike, would you like some cheese with that whine? STFU already, the US won AGAIN, enough with the excuses. The US had enough sh*t luck with Baggett's performances and they still won. Everyone knew Roczen would be strong, I don't know your point is with that. On another note as pointed out by someone above, I think the grand scheme of things shows which series is stronger between the GP's and AMA nationals. The French had a big advantage on that joke of a track too. Pourcel got what karma delivers eventually.
Scroll to the 38 minute mark. That's when the gate drops.

@Euromike.......you say Europe won with 2 moto wins to 1 for the USA.....well, first as chromob said, Australia is NOT Europe dipsh-t. AND when you reference EUROPE against the USA i have to ask you how many teams EUROPE fields against the SINGLE team the USA brings!! Hmmm, "Europe" has several teams representing it, does it not?? Thanks for the compliment to our boys, they did do very well against EUROPE and the rest of the world, didn't they?? USA-USA-USA!!!
"If we americans are so superior in motocross why do we need DeCoster, who still sounds like a belgian tourist?"
because no one former US pro racers want to piss off with the european paperwork! :)
Awesome for another win for the team, but I think next year if the 250 national champ isn't American, we should really look at bringing a former champ like RV, RD or Stewart out on a 250. How would this team have fared if RV was on a 250, with RD and Dungey on the 450s? Sorry, I'm still greedy for another 1986!!
SORRY I meant Dungey and Barcia on the 450s....
No doubt DeCoster is a big part of it, just keeping the riders mentally ready. What if JS7 were a motocrosser and ran the outdoor series. He, RD and RV on the same team? Wha???? Don't know who'd ride the 250, probably RV, but Bubba isn't really a big guy either, so maybe put him on the 250. Kind of disappointed in Puerto Rico not making the main.
DUMBOBILL: just avoid mentioning "WE"! Mythomaniac, go back to the real world, you don't live in USA, you are not American, you live in a third world country, you are not Amercian, you support team USA because it keeps winning and you wanna feel what you are not, loser.
Jealous: of what? You must be really nuts, life means something else, you must be a retard indeed.
endoman38... the obama coment was FUNNY!!
Hey j-slob jairtime.......have you heard that JS will be back for 2012?? Just thought you might want to know since it is obvious you are curious about it....i mean you just cannot stop bringing him up!! Don't worry buddy, you'll get to see him race again soon enough!!!!:):):)
Jeffrey Herling was on 350 not on 450
To all thanks for the comments somr ridiluious some imforative. TO the long time guys on the chat site I always take time to see what you say so there for and hensforth and all of those terms that were to big for someone. I think you said it all!
To all of the euros where would you be if USA had not landed at Normady and also fought in your counties to help save the world? I was lucky, all 5 of my dads brothers seved in WW2 and I only lost one uncle. GOD Bless America!
@ uro mike just get a grip on life it is not fair it is just life.
Now I am just waiting for the next year.
@euromike... How do expect to be taken seriously , when you resort to name calling , you called another poster a Queer , and Faggot, for not agreeing with you , just curious , how old are you , I figure your a Teen , by the way you act , You are right up ther with Jairtime and his rants about Stewart, ( he thinks about him night and day ) We won , It is allways a team effort , from bike prep to riding , We have better riders , better Mechanics , and a better atitude , You on the other hand are a Joke , Cant change the facts , WE WON !!!
Euromike, you are a eurodouche. The fastest riders in the world (whether they are domestic or foreign) are racing the AMA series. Yes Roczen was hella fast yesterday and props to him for showing his talents, but where is he racing? Oh, yeah...he'll be racing here in the states in 2012. Face it, you're an idiot. The FASTEST riders in the world race here. Go get some fish and chips or some pommes frites and drink a room temperature coke and get over it. 40 years ago you would have had a leg to stand on but in the last 30 years that has changed...know your history in this sport before you open your ignorant mouth.
2 beancanyon- Thanks for the link!
EuroMike, holy crap your excuses are getting humorous. Is it a fluke to win it 7 times in a row? It just seems to me that the MXdN is a joke for any other country but the USA. I mean... two years ago we sent our "B Team" and we still won it. This year, Blake Baggett went 17-17 and none of your glorified European teams could take advantage. I'll say this: Europe was L-U-C-K-Y to even have a shot. It's not about the fastest racer, and through qualifying I think we could see that the US riders aren't so slow. It's about the fastest TEAM. 7 years in a row. Come on man, shut up already. Stick to your agreement and leave. Take your lame excuses, anti-American slander, and sore loser complaints out of here.
BTW, props to Austraila to finishing on the podium. I never want to see the US lose the MXoN, but if anyone had to beat us, I'd hope it'd be the Aussies. Great talent coming from there and genuine good guys IMO...
@Welker:
What the heck are you talking about? WW 2?
I thaught this was about motocross.
@ stupid italian manes,
"If we americans are so superior in motocross why do we need DeCoster, who still sounds like a belgian tourist?" IT'S A QUOTE OF PAULY, NOT OF ME, MORON!!!!
I'm not American and i'm fine with that, not you? :), but if Americans are the best and have a better mentality than the majority of the rest of the world, it's not my fault! i'm also pround to support their army, if you and me are living onto a free country it's because of them! you fµck1ng italian cow@rd!
MONGOLIAN, shut up, I know who wrote that, it's just that you can't pronouce "we" as Americans, in any way, understand that retard!
Support their army, yes, but you don't move a finger, something that my family did last century. I paid taxes in USA for many years retard, you just stole all your life, third world man. Easy to support and stand idle on the couch, retard! You can support without insulting the riders, did you know that? Coward, posting using different names, talking lies, keep digging holes and eat the roots caveman
The Europeans all come to the USA to get faster , Wonder why ?
me shut up? :), comes in front of me and you see who to shut up first, when you will see me at one miles of you, you will run as fast at you can to the first plane to Italy! my 14 years son can knock-out you in one second, he's a good boxer like his dad! :)
AND PLEASE MORON, IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU OR ME, IT'S ABOUT MX! DO YOU UNDERSTAND? AND WE ARE INTO A AMERICAN'S WEBSITE, THEN, RESPECT THEM AND DON'T TAKE YOU TO SERIOUSLY HERE!
Yeah yeah yeah stupid Mongolian, who cares about your son, his motherf , hide yourself behind your crap.
I don't have any respect for you, while I have always respected all the riders, find a post of mine in which I insult a rider, find it. You know nothing, Ward won in MX on a Honda, that's your level retard
I can find hundreds of post of yours in which you insult the riders, and you write bullshit, "respect them", whatever man, your head needs a completely check up, I am the first who respects Amercan people, I even lived there plenty of time, legally, just wanna point this out. Get lost!
like all the keyboard warriors you care of anybody untill you are in front of them! little pasta cow@rd!, I have no problem with the mother of my three children :), and you?:) you still a w@nker who living with his mama? :) and you know that i never say that Wardy was on Honda in the 80's, coward, liar, big mouth, moron, it's easy to now you! back into your cagiva 80cc with your ugly m-robert stuff, liar! sorry but the monday conversation is on, with Villopoto, not cairoli, sorry for you, but villo will always have more interesting things to say than your idol, the fauso coppi of mx!
At least we have some idols, you short Mexican/Mongolian little kid can just pray for Pancho Villa and disown your coutry, coward! ANd stop that story of the sons, you're ridiculous, nobody here mentions his family, maybe you are looking for somebody who can give you some money, you lazy ass. I have had a subsciption to Racer X for years, that's way I am here, so shut up for good poser, that's it for me, don't wanna waste more time with retards like you

Hepster, seriously man, take you head out of your backside and try talking sense. When Euros, South Africans, or Aussies come over to race in Meximerica, they are already the fastest on the planet, then they all seem to slow up once they get to race aginst the mediocer competition in AMA. It´s real sad dude. Maybe it´s all them double fat burgers and extra french fries that takes the edge off of their performances.
Truth be told, the only reason Euro´s come to race in the land of the illegal 3rd world immigrant, is for the extra $$$$$$$$$. That´s about the only thing that´s better there, the dollars. But for how long? That´s the question. They ain´t gonna be worth the paper they are printed on soon, but what the hell, then we´ll all rush off and race in China cause they will own you by then anyway, LOL
I´m really sleeping well tonight knowing we have the fastest young talent in the world, namely Roznase, Herlings and Paulin. And where I come from in Germany there are plenty more about to hit the scene al la King Kenny stylee. So enjoy your lucky break while you can suckers. LOL.

@euroweinie, 30 yrs has been somewht of a long "break".......LOL whata maroon....(yeah the buggs maroon) Give ya this.... Kid Roczen is fast AND more importantly a seemingly likeable kid, I expect he will win a few championships in the USA. JMB is the last likeable euro I can remember but I gotta few dents. I expect Roczen will be as sucessful and liked as well as JMB was. I'll cheer for the kid don't give a damn where he's from.
I liked JMB becouse he's the only cat that had worse looking shoulders than mine, didnt matter where he was from.

After seeing Cairoli's problem with his handlebars, which must have been the clamps, I wonder if maybe he didn't get the message.

Eurodouche, I mean Euromike: Really, really...? Who has came out of Germany that's worth a damn on a motocross bike in the last 40 years? Let me tell you since you don't know much....Adolf Weil and Ken Roczen, and that's about it....Who has been successfull here in the US? Let's start from the top? Gary Jones, Marty Smith, Jim Pomeroy, Marty Moates (who kicked everyone's ass at the Carlsbad 500 USGP in '80) Bob Hannah, Brad Lackey, Danny Laporte, Johnny O' Mara (who whipped everyone's ass on a 125 in Maggiora in '86) Ricky Johnson, David Bailey, Jeff Stanton, Mike Kiedrowski, Mike Larocco, Jeremy McGrath, Jeff Emig, Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto, and Ryan Dungey. Really, STFU if you think that American racers are second rate. You have neither brains or balls. BTW, bringing up history if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking Russian so keep your attitude in check homie...
Jair I kid !!!!Only dumba cornahole likea you no get... don'ta make me come and steala you corn cob pipe and JS7 private time vhs. Who's attacking italians ,that was straight from my cousin Tonywall..and by the way I like southerners. I like everybody except racist pigs ,and you and fake euro mike have PROVED to be one time and time again. Get back to stalking JS7 and chamfering your hand... @harry from OK please don't forget Willy Bauer (and Gary Bailey ,Malcolm ,Jeff Ward.).There was ALOT of moto before the 70's and ALOT great euro riders. MX didn't start here and they deserve respect also. Butta now we runna the show......
WOW, i was there and saw Ken Roczen beat Dungey strait up and also LAPPED Bagget, and all that on a 250f! Ken IS the BEST 250 rider in the WORLD, HANDS DOWN!!
@stenberg. Nearly right dude. King Kenny Roznase is not only the best 250 rider in the world, but also the best 125, 350 and 450 pilot as well. In short, he´s the fastest man on two wheels on dirt on this whole planet, and he´s not a halfcast Meximerican like all of the illegal immigrants living in Red Indian territory. Our glorious Fuhrer would have been very proud of him. Sieg Heil is going to take on a whole new meaning from here on in. LOL.
Harryfromok, suck on it dude.
OMG!!!! Euromike makes me feel bad about being from Europe. Please ban this idiot from this site!!!!!!!!! Nothing wrong with a little patriotism but is going way too far!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh , and BillC.. You are sooo right about everything! I guess....
Yes, please ban that whiney A-hole euro mike. He's not a fan of motocross and its embarrassing to be associated with someone like that if he is. The guy sounds like he's in junior high school and he's giving europeans a bad name. I've traveled to quite a few countries and thank god I've never met anyone like that man. And I don't know about you, but Mexican food is great, so are mexicans.
Ban me????? Are you kidding???? There´s talk of them giving me my own column. Something like, "Mike´s Euro news", or, "Ask Mike". Hell, it couldn´t be worse than, Ask Ping? It would be a hit dude.
Anyway, to you lousey commies who are calling for the wonderful people of racer X to ban me, what happened to all that freedom of speach you bleeding hearts are always on about????? Live and let live is my moto dude. You don´t like my opinions, that´s cool. Skip my trash and move on. It´s a free world you know.
USA USA USA LOL LOL LOL.
@Euromike... Jawohl! Europa uber alles! lol! Ha,ha
Pitbull has a point though..
I have met dudes like euroweinie......they talk big crap away from the track, and bikes.......then when ya invite the nit wit to ride, and back some of that up.....he says ok, and shows up on a g-d Hodaka. I have seen this before.....czmark probably has too.....let him ramble, nobodys gonna beat the usa anytime soon. If they do? so what?
Eurodouche, are you delusional or just stupid??? Really...Ken Roczen is a good rider (and chances are that is the only thing we'll ever agree on...) but the best he can do in 2012 is survive SX and stay healthy so he can give em' hell outdoors. With all that said, you getting to write for Racer X would be like David Duke working for the ACLU. Not gonna happen anytime soon...now go take your meds and lock yourself in your mother's basement.
Roczen performed well at the MXdN as expected considering his experience there. Don't even bother comparing his one weekend performance on that joke of a track compared to most AMA and GP tracks, everyone is fast on a track with no obstacles to separate people. He is going to blend in with the top 5 next year in the USA, mark my words. I feel like he will be on the ground riding at the intensity the top 250F riders in the USA do. I personally think the racing in the USA is much more aggressive than in the GP's. It's a sprint start to finish it seems like these days. He will be up front a lot next year no doubt, but he's not going to dominate or win the most races by any means. The MXdN isn't necessarily a good gauge for comparing riders because it's a team effort and everyone's tactics differ. One thing is clear though, noone plays the team game as well as the USA, and I think we saw RV and RD just doing what they had to do to win like they should at an event like that. I still think RV and RD are the best guys on the planet. Now if some more Euro's would come race the AMA nationals we could really see how the Euro guys stack up against the best riders in the world (American or not).
@ thierrytetedenoeud, französisch? heil !!!
Shut up jackass. Now you talk well about Cagiva while in your posts above you were talking bad. Make up your mind loser. By the way, my helmet is an Arai (what's yours? A Pumpkin?), my gear is Sinisalo (What's yours? A communist gear?).
Shit up illiterate, send your son on the street to beg for money, typical of communist people, an enemy, you will never be allowed to live in the USA, get it loser.
so proud of them ! ; team USA ! ; love poto !
