@stone4451 So if the talent is so low in the World Championships, how come Villipoto got beaten by a 16 year old, first race on a 350 and Dungey got beaten by a 17 year old on little 250F.

I just wish more Americans were like Dungey, he is humble when he wins & respects the competion. Team USA had to fight hard to win this one, but they got great starts last moto & pourcel through it away. Think its fair to say that 'K-Roc' (Roczen) was the most impresive rider at the Des Nations this year.

mxcoolman shut ur fucking face!! Obviosly, the americans are the most talented out of all nations. Whats better than 1st and 2nd. Nothin bitch. Ken Rockzen came to the us and got killed. Villipoto, Dungey, and Stewart are clearly the best. Fuck all u foriegn haters! LMB bitches!!

I'll spoil all the GP vs. AMA "who's better, got more depth, etc." talk by saying it was awesome to watch these races and see so much great riding from EVERYWHERE. Just great motocross racing. Being 'Merikan, it was fun to see Villopoto/Dungey charge the last race but mostly because - no matter who those two guys were - they rode so well. I would have been freakin' impressed no matter who and from where they had been. No matter what, the Euro fans rock. Next MX des N' in Europe - I'm there.

@mxcoolman Wrong! The GP talent is down allowing there to be more riders closer to the same speed!

@mxcoolman i dunno maybe its just this video but the track looks very very flat and hilly with few jumps

[mxcoolman]

@Ericdeathmetal Blake Baggets words 'this is the most technical track i have ever ridden' whats baby about that? He finished 19th i think.

@stone4451 Dont get funny about it, im only telling it as it is. USA deserve the win. The USA team is alway fast and crutially, consistant. Other countries just dont seem to perform under the pressure when they have a good shot at the overall. Still think the GPs have more depth of talent than AMA. Top 3 AMA riders in each class are off the planet fast, but the rest are just good riders. GPs have like 10 riders each class who can fight for the win.

I'm sure that there are sport teams in England or France,Germany that have developed a reputation for loosing at critical moments. We have them here in the States also. Italy had their shot and blew it, France looked in contention in the last race MX1 &3 and blew it. The old sports adage proves true yet again: Winners find a way to Win! Like my favorite says: "when you win...say little, when you lose say even less".
