I put my 2 cents on Desalle/Cairoli mx1, Mosquien/wiemer mx2, abot nation its really an hard prediction

[JB323]

well heard from my buddy over there as media that usa actually looks reallllllly strong and fast, even tho were all kinda doubtful of our riders not being as strong as the other previous years.

Aussie looks to be 2nd place followed by britain


then i think personally Canada might pop up in top 5 with Dean Wilson. I honestly think dean is going to do some damage and top 5 if not podium on his first race if he does what he does.

[scheeve3]

Lol and the little country Belgium is rdy to take the victory, they are riding strong. If you see the population of Belgium (11 mil.) and America (300 mil.) you can say that Belgium is a bit (read a lot) stronger then the USA.

And Great-Britain are verry strong also.

[Blitz]

Correct me if im wrong but i read somewhere that motocross however is a huge sport in Belgium, and alot more popular than it is in the USA. Taking that into account, is population such a factor?
I could be miles wrong, just remember reading it in Josh Coppins' book haha.

[scheeve3]

ye it's pretty popular here but still 300mil vs 11mil. :p what a diffrence.

btw, I heard that Dungey crashed pretty hard and have a slight injury??

Best lap: #7 Clement Desalle Time:2:00.962 in lap 10

In the top 10 I marked the EU/GP riders Green and the AMA riders blue

[FactoryBR21]

Clement Desalle is the shit ! I've watched him at GP of Brazil and man, I've became a Clement's Fan also he was the only guy cleraing the huge uphill triplee !
I think USA is not that fasster than MXGP riders anymore ! take a look on chad reed , they are still fast but not that fasster. But I bet the Final Motos things will be really different from a qualify

[jbob23]

USA's top 4 or so riders arent even there....so ya.

[FactoryBR21]

Ryan Dungey isn't a top rider ? and I though Chad Reed had won AMA Championship... anyway it would be Dungey , Villopoto and BUbba

The track is fucking epic!!!

That's what I hate on Americans, they are always looking for excuses, well let me make an uxcuse, America is like 50-60 time's bigger then Belgium, do we cry about that every year??
btw, you tell us every year that you even would win with your B-team ... well show it .

[mx4life]

we just did:)

What does the population of a country have to do with how fast it's riders are?

[frederick]

You have a greater possibility to produce wonderchilds like RC, Bubba and RV

[jesplind]

HAHA can't stop thinking about when Cairoli was involved in the that huge start crash and he did look at the big and just "Can I ride this?" haha the whole big was crooked
