That point was made quite obvious at this week-ends MXoN. You can't sight the weather as the reason - everybody rode the same conditions. If anything, that just shows how more well-rounded the Euros are. Bad luck? C'mon! Look at the French-even with all their problems they STILL got the overall and we couldn't even manage a podium on home soil. Rider selection? Well, we arguably sent our very best. Seems like the tide has shifted back to Europe and we're the underdogs again. I'm kinda just stirring the pot here 'cuz our riders are amazing, but man! It's frustrating........
Imho usa was never as great as most of you believe. Look what herlings did to tomac at the last round of the outdoor last year . And that was on a usa spec bike with less power than he's used to Could never understand why the USA outdoor series carries the "FIM world championship " label . Not trying to be an asshat just being blunt
