Really good race for german riders...Roczen was excellent, Nagl too and Schiffer is strong in the sand so...they deserve the 1st place.
Belgium really strong too but bad lucky with the DNF of "The Jerre" Van Horebeek.
USA is the biggest country of this sport but the sand in europe is the way to win championships, and they are not the fastest there. Anyway their 3 riders are on the top5 of each class so, not great but it's still good a podium in front of The Netherlands, Italy and France. Although the faces on the podium say it all...
Individually, both Cairoli and Herlings were awesome, Cairoli wins but Herlings from last to 2nd...man, unbelievable. These two riders are in another world.

I think the most annoying part of USA not winning is all the goons bitching about "USA thinking they're the best", you know what, considering USA came over and podiumed on the hardest track in the world with one of the youngest teams in the MXDN history, I think we did really well. We didn't win, but we performed well. Congrats to Germany, and I can't wait to see USA dominate again next year with hopefully a healthy Baggett, Dungey, and Villopoto
1) USA = 3rd
2) Germany = 1st
3) Belgium = 2nd
4) Netherlands = 4th
5) France = 5th
Not too bad with predictions. Really pumped for Germany! Kinda bummed for the USA but I thought Dunge would be a little more consistent/better but it is what it is. Cairoli was fabulous but Herlings is definitely king of the sand. He came from so far back to catch Tony I think he was just a bit burnt out. Nonetheless a truly great ride. Great race overall. Bring on Teutschenthal next year!!

No excuses out of me, just speculation. Sorry I wanted to discuss the race and not tell all the Europeans how great they are after they win 1 in 8 MXoN events...

I just hate that almost every american think they are the best..
I just hate that almost every European thinks that every American thinks they are the best, and they smell.
Wait, let's look at the facts here. America won the last 8 MXoN's. Never mind, clearly we are the best.
I have no problems with the German team winning, or Belgium getting second, or Cairolli finally winning an individual overall at the MXoN. I have to give my congratulations to every person involved in their efforts.
It's their fans that I have a problem with. Every year in the weeks leading up to this they feel the need to degrade the US as much as possible, and say this year is the year they loose. Except most years they are wrong and come up with the same excuses, the size of their countries VS. ours, mechanicals, crashes, unions, federations, etc etc... Oh but when they win they will do everything to rub it in your faces, or make you "suck their nuts" I just don't get it, are you all just that Jealous?

When you compare the win ratio, we have a reason to think that. We produce quantity and quality.
We have congratulated and respected that we have gotten beat this year. Its not easy to be a good loser after being expected to win like we have in the last 8 years. Now the rudeness comes out of all the Euro's after they win and they wonder why we are arrogant at times.
Congrats to the Germans on making history. Sucks for the US that we lost but consistency is key and you can't have that with crashes.

You are the same...Some minutes after finish the MXoN you put a video here about Herlings troubbles in SX...man...
I'm not agree with these europeans you talk about and I don't agree with you.
I think that USA get a good result in that terrain as I said some posts ago...

You've obviously never been on the VitalMX forum after America wins the des Nations.
