2017 MXDN

I've heard conversation coming out of animal pens that is more intelligent than what is going on in here.

I wonder if we will see some protest on the track for lack of traction.

Wheew

I was complementing if I was going to stay up for the races at 5AM or go to sleep and risk not being able to wake up, I hate watching MXDN when it isn't live, less hype... and finally at 1am I figured if I stay up I'll probably die :lol: no joke though :shock: so I got 4 hours of sleep and woke up in a panic at 4am :lol: I guess the track is a mud fest!

I'm probably just desperate but I have hope. Covington grew up riding in Southern California and is going to feel right at home with the big flowing jumps they've added. I think he will adapt well and get good starts.

Can't take anything away from France, Charlier was a lot stronger than I thought. I figured he'd be around 15th in the 2nd moto but he rode clutch af. Really disappointing in the Americans, regardless of mechanical Cole was a lot worse than I thought (I wasn't expecting wins, but I expected 5th-7th area finishes), Covington was terrible as well, really questioning the decision to put him on the 450 :? Osborne was good. Lets be real here, USA wouldn't have been 8th O/A or w/e if we sent a healthy Tomac, Osborne, and Baggett/Anderson. I can't wait until 2018, going to be good with (I'm presuming) a healthy USA team. I doubt Tomac will skip the des nations if its hosted in the US, the main reason he didn't go was traveling to Europe for a week to race, but if its a short flight away, why not?

Clement, shut up. If this Covington showed up, it would have been much different.

France dominated everyone

This was the most boring mxon to watch, track was super cool saturday but mud made it boring on sunday = boring races

I am tired of seing B teams competing against each others (even for france) - would be cool to add musquin and fernandis against tomac orborne anderson/bagget ... A teams vs A teams !! Cant wait for reddd buddddd

You guys don't know if his suspension was fucking up all weekend, and that's what was causing him to be off the pace. I know Cole isn't Tomac-level speed, but he's a lot better than what he showed this weekend. They mentioned he didn't ride beforehand on his race bike I believe, and just flew over for press day then the motos (no week riding beforehand), so I wonder if the suspension flown over wasn't right.

Bummed it rained for the race, was really looking forward to see where everyone would stack up but I am impressed by quite of few.
Red Bud is going to be gnarly I think the fans will be on another level! Hope Canada can do better next year tough day for them
