I find it hard to believe that any other team will beat united as a team. if another team wins thogh, I will tattoo their flag on the tail =)
anyway I'll put my money on that it will be a lot of orange on the podium.

ps I really like that it is so tense between the united states and europe on this forum.
if BillC was president of the usa and euro mike EU Minister, we would have had a third world war.
I hope for a great battle between Herlings Cairoli Roczen and Dungey maybe also Desalle
It will be a really great mxdn

yea indeed,team usa has once again a strong team..think that not one single country can bring 3 top riders like that..still,single race wins will be exciting cause that 17 year old dutch kid is extremely fast in the sand if he doesn't do somethin stupid or has mechanical problems,so i think that supermini talk is kinda lame :) just want to see nice racin and that the best team may win..

Obviously we're only seeing our guys but they sure look good. I think Dungy is going to be strong, I wouldn’t want Barcia behind me and Baggett is going to surprise with his speed and endurance. Baring any graceful get offs and the collection of soil samples, we should get er done.

Nice Video Edit Marco... The Three Sand Rats from the Westland's look like they are becoming nicely acclimated to the inner-coastal beaches of Belgium.
Viewing this video of some of the people behind the scenes makes me realize just what kind of collective experience Team USA brings to the beach-party. When someone scans the American pits and see's Roger, Mitch and the rest of the support staff with all their (past) experience, can you imagine just how much confidence (alone) that instills in Dungey, Baggett and Barcia, and the horror through-out the rest of the free world. All due respect to the other teams participating. But Hey!
Racer-X, this is great candy to whet our appetites for dinner in Six (long) days from now. Thank you so much for posting this fine edit.

OK, calm down you bunch of redneck hill billies. If you knew anything about Lommel, you would understand, what´s on the vid is totally irrelevant. It´s as smooth as a babies bum (I think the organisers are trying to lull the yanks into a false sense of security). Come race day there will be NO, I repeat, NO sitting down. Lommel is ridden on the pegs, (unless you can ride 3 foot waves sitting down LOL). Sure the boys look fast, but then any half way decent local also looks fast for the first hour on any given weekend, because that´s when they do the track. They never push the track during the week and thats when the GP boys train there. Trust me, it´s a different ball game. So, why don´t you wait till the real action starts before expending any more hot air? Then you can unpack your McDonalds and the freedom fries, crack open a Coca Cola, and witness first hand why they call Lommel, the grave yard of dreams.
Welcome to the real world suckers. LOL.

Euromike and tonewall....why don't you all chill and just enjoy a one of a kind race.
The riders in team USA will not make a fool of themselves...they have been Pro-riders for years and are on top of their game. Yes Lommel is different beast....yet the US riders have the best back-up team they can have, Roger, Mitch and so on...this will by far not be a walk in the park for ANYBODY...and I have to say Dungey looked fast and smooth...and smoth is WAY more important than stylish...
I am just hoping for a GREAT RACE and that nobody get hurt, Euros or Yanks.

Euromike, you are hysterical with your attempt to scare everyone by descibing the track as "the graveyard of dreams"! It makes me think back to when there was a bunch of hype of some euro sandmaster coming to Southwick to show everyone who's boss in the soft stuff only to get lapped by RC and head home with his tail between his legs. I fully expect at least one moto win by Herlings, but that should be the only bright spot for any other team as the USA is playing as a team for the overall win, not individual achievements. Almost every other guy is lining up knowing that the team is out of it before the first gate drops. Your rhetoric reminds me of the old joke about grandpa walking 100 miles to school everyday uphill both ways. The track is a sand track, whoopdeedoo (get it?). It isn't the Blackwater 100 mixed with Mexican banditos robbing you on the side of the trail.......the graveyard of dreams, hahaha. Then again, I guess that is what it will be for any Euros dreaming of a team win!

Team up or team downs! It Dosent matter USA will probably win but the best thing whit mxdn is to se top USA against top Europe in one race. As a mx fan it's fantastic!

MudDobber wrote: 11:34am September 25, 2012

It may just be me but it sounds like the euros think they can finally beat us just because of the difficulty of a sand track. Do they really think the only way to beat us is to handicap us with the conditions. Granted, it won't be easy but I think they also need to wait until the gate drops before counting us out. Even if we don't win (which I think we will) we'll kick some butt even if we're supposedly out or our element.

Know why Joe? Cause that´s not the track. Sure, it´s in the complex, but it´s actually only a tiny part of the main track with the balance made up of the kiddies track out back. I guess they are preping the GP circuit so your guys won´t actually get to know the real deal until race day. It´s going to be quite a shock when they are finally allowed to ride on the big boys circuit. Prepare to weep dude. LOL.

dont get to excited yet usa....the vid tells NOTHING!!

Smooth or rough, Team USA is going to be formidable. Dungey looks way more comfortable in this vid than he did in the last one from Lommel.
