2 - Most of the fast GP riders don't end up coming to the US. In the last ten years, how many World GP Champs have come and raced a full series there? There are five by my count - Townley, Langston, Pichon, Rattray, Pourcel. And what about other top 5 contenders - Searle, perhaps a couple of others who's names escape me? Hardley a flood, and definitely not "most".
3 - Guess what? Any foreign riders who have to come to the US go through the same thing.

yeah they are away from thier freinds and family as well which is tough, but they are coming to better tracks!
get it? brace? because he has horse teeth and needs BRACES?!
ah well, it was funny when i was thinking about it
the last 4 World MX1 champs never left - Everts, Ramon, Philipearts and Cairoli, neither did Bolley, or Smets, Musquin isn't leaving next year either, nor did Coppins, Barragan, de Reuver, Leok, Simpson, Billy Mackenzie, Paulin, Frossard, Desalle, Goncalves, De dycker, Seb pourcel
Very few of the top guys have left most stay.
ACs claim to fame is winning 3 world titles.
Therefore on average about 1 GP per year comes across to ride in the US. As I said earlier, hardly a flood.
I think the whole argument, while interesting, is moot because the facts of history are that not many top riders from either side tend to cross the pond. I don't really know what the reasons are, but my theory is that the issues of culture, family, friends, language etc are hard for anyone to overcome. That's why I have a little bit extra admiration for guys like Reed, Pourcel etc who can uplift their whole life and still be successful.
One more thing that you guys should like about the GP's - they still run a true Open class over there - run what you brung and hope you brung enough!!
Just because you Americans dont pay much attention to our up and comers doesn't mean we dont pay attention to yours.

Our amateur scene is every bit as fast as yours. Rya Villopoto and James Stewart have come over here and beeen beaten very badly on 85's.
But it's ok you probably didn't know that did you smithy.
There are some first class morons on here.
all they do is just express their stars and stripes virus by repeating the names and frases they hear arround, making a foul out of themselves and making the real mx fans in america look bad...........
america is one of he greatest places for motocross and has the best that the sport can give.....every mx fan knows that......but also knows that america is not alone in the world, and that canada to the north, and mexico to the south, are not the rest of the world...!!!!!!!!!
many americans bragg their greatness.....but with such an ignorance that it can only bounce back....their lack of knowlege of what they say ends up making their country look bad..........
so as a mx fan that follows the world of motocross, i really feel bad for all those true mx fans from america, it should not be easy to have such a lot of morons talking shit all the time and making you look bad...........
if only they would go watch x-games and thrillbillys and leave the motocross for the fans of racing.....!!!!!!!!!
It's a shame patriotic arrogance and insular ignorance makes your opinion on motocross outside the US void.
only 5 defending world champs have actually moved to the US since 1989 - Bayle Albee, Tortelli, Gl and Rattary that is 5 in 20 years,the ones that stayed another year before moving got beat by GP riders that didnt move to the US and when you add in all the World champs since 1990, the facts are 90% didnt move.Plus the GP champs that have went have won races proving the speed of th e rest of the GP riders that stay.
Just becasue it says america motocross doesn't mean it is superior, there are great riders in the US but many great riders are in the GPs too.
dont make shit
the opening laps of our races would scare him so bad his teeth will be straight from gritting the shit out of them and the cheap beer with run thru him like grease thru a gun.
Oh and by the way his teeth are straight, he just has a huge overbite.
Post a reply to: Cairoli will get his ass smoked at the mxdn or here
