theped26-- ONE guy?? Really? What about the other two?? Stewie, Dungey and Barcia (He is a great sand rider) Looks like a win for the US again to me.. Everyone thought Musquin would come over and win, or Roczen, before that it was Pourcel, Searle, and Rattrey, NONE of them took a title here. Its tougher than the Euro fans think it is. All out 100% the entire race, for 12 races.. In the heat and humidity. If they come here they better have thier big boy pants on...

And we have seen a 250f beat everyone before, It was a red head named Ryan Vilipoto, maybe you have heard of him..

theped26 wrote: 3:48pm June 9, 2012

Villipoto did indeed win on a 250F, but that wasn't in waist deep sand. He win beat Dungey and Stewart as well. I remember Mike Brown came over to Europe and didn't win a world title but he went back to the US and won. Yeah it's real easy in Europe.

Neterlands won't win MXoN's but individual status is also important. By the the way Searle won't win the European MX2 championship because he is competing in the World MX2 championship. Please get your facts right before commenting.

Though to be honest, not being a Euro hater, but I do think that herlings is over-rated. If you put villo and dungey on any track, they will be up their, no matter what.

OMG!!! Tomac is the man! TO-MAC...TO-MAC....TO-MAC!!! Needless to say, I am VERY impressed. Great rides for a lot of those young guys. Hate that Baggetts great ride fell apart at the end. Great series.

P.S. Baggett openly states that he doesn't appreciate being called Chupacabra. Out of respect, Weege and Fro, please let it go. DC, weigh in on it and put a stop to it. Baggett is way too good, both as a rider AND person, to get crapped on.

About the races, here there are the fastest MX2 riders on the planet and there will be more to come. It's just bad when somebody, sorry, some retard, keeps talking crap about one or more of these guys who really make huge efforts to be at that level, too bad this person is on this forum where there are good and experienced people sharing their opinions. What about banning this person? Administrator??

My God...is Jean-René-Helmut de la Rapapopulous in love or what. Give one guy a good ride one day and he is Superman, let him have a bad day and OMG what tyrash he is. Personally I think that his opinions are misguided. (Pourcel) for example. The worst part is having to read and listen to this trash on this magazines site. It would be so nice to have the site monitor the trash that is on here. There are plenty of hard working guys out there riding there asses off for our pleasure. Sometimes it takes years and years before a rider finally develops into his best.Lets not toss them in the trash while they are working so hard.. I have been around MX now since 1972 and it seems to never change. My guess would be that most of these opininators have never ridden a good MX bike, in fact, I would bet money on it.

People hating on Baggett? Really? Yeah, he didn't do so hot at the MXdN last year (to put it mildly). But that was ONE race.

Look at what he's been doing to the field this year. Making them look stupid. (American riders like Barcia too, not just the Euro contingent). He's not winning as much as he should because of his crap starts. But once he gets going, he just mows 'em down.

You might want to keep in mind that Roczen is racing most of these tracks for the first time where the US guys have seen them dozens of times......head over to Europe to the tracks Roczen knows and won a World championship on and things may be different......

Give the kid some respect.....he's really close to winning one and when he does he may get on a roll..

CZrider wrote: 8:15pm June 9, 2012

I agree with Ripdown. Roczen is getting familiar and it will just be time before he gets his W. Maybe not so fast on a title. I was impressed several years ago in Colorado at the MXDN . He went very fast on a track he had never been to. He also looked very fast at the last MXDN.

I never try to bash the Europeans. Mainly because of my age. I remember when the Europeans were good enough to cherry pick against the young Americans. Mainly in the Trans AMA series and the Inter AMA series. They were Gods. It was a real honor to be first American . That could have meant finishing 7th for the honor. Also I think one has to remember some of the countries or most are smaller than the state of Texas. Both on population and size. We should be better. We have more to choose from. Falta was one of the best riders I ever saw ride a motorcycle. Add Decoster, Noyce, Wolsink , Ake Jonson(spelling?) Robert, Velky , Mossiev, Aberg, Mikkola and tons I do not have time to name. There were so many. Remember the tide comes in and the tide goes out.

When the Europeans whooped on us they never mocked us when we were down. In fact they taught us how to go fast. Taught us about conditioning. I think we should have the courtesy to welcome the Europeans or anyone that wants to race motocross. The last couple of weeks we have a rider from Russia I believe. I know he is not winning but hope things are going well.

If you get too big of head it will not fit in your helmet and you will not be able to race .

Be a good host. They are are guests.

In the forty years the Nationals have run, out of the 80 (250/450) National Championships awarded name an American rider that won the their first year.

Hannah / Smith / Stewart ????

This year's 250 class reminds me of the 125 class in 1983. 4 guys in a slugfest. In '83 it was O'Mara, Ward, Barnett and Lechien. This year it is Barcia, Tomac, Baggett, and Roczen.

The Europeans are just not use to putting the hammer down for 30 plus 2 even Roczen admits that. Every time the Roc puts in a hard ride he falls because he is not use to sustained balls out riding.

While I will not make any garuntees, I certainly can see Roczen winning motos. That's not so far off in the future. Winning that 2nd moto (@ High-point) would have been a turning point for him. Too bad for him Tomac's momentum carried him from an average start right to the front.

As for MXdN, Going to Herlings' back yard is going to be a revalation for all if he's fit for sevice. Herlings = MXdN overall winner is VERY possible. Dungey MX1 / Barcia MX3 / Tomac MX2 is a good bet for the Chamberlain trophy, though.

Tomac & Barcia are on highs right now. They both have SX regional titles, Their bikes are (arguably) the best in the paddock and they are clearly fit & very fast. The momentum that those elements bring to their game is hard for ANYONE to compete against and yet Roczen is still right there. Until this weekend, he was the only guy on the podium for the first 3 races and in the volatile 250F class, 24 3rd place finishes (480 points) could add up to a title. I don't have the records in front of me but, 480 points is a lot for a 250F campaign.....probably enough for the title.

I have a feeling that Musquin might have taken Roczen to "In- n-Out" one too many times while getting acclimated to the good 'ol U.S.A.

I think I read that somewhere that Roczen was loving their food.
