Man I wish I was in Italy right now. The des Nations is by far the best race of the year to attend. I have been to 3 and loved every one, Belgium 2001, England 2006, and Buds Creek 2007. Mingling with foreign moto heads while cheering on your own country makes for a truly unique atmosphere. On the brighter side, next year it will be here in Colorado! Anyone planning on coming out? We could have a cafe husky section in the camping area. Go team USA!:usa: Here's a video to get the national pride flowing. http://www.racerxonline.com/video/team-usa-practice-2009.aspx
Good to have it in the US next year, as current list of non-injured US MX riders on Team USA could use a home track advantage. Dietrich, Caselli and Woods would have a better shot at winning the MXoN if they had stopped in on the way to Portugal for the ISDE. Maybe a miracle tomorrow!
i love the way they just bounce off the rev limiter, especially the 250s! PS Cairoli is using our product !
After the first moto we are in the lead with 11 points! Cairoli wins, Reed second, Dungy third, and Jake Weimer in 8th.
WE won!!! Dungy wins the final moto with Tedesco in 7th. USA wins with 22 points, second is France, and Belgium in 3rd
wow we won!,,,close one to the end, US,FR,BE Cairoli had the self fulfilling prophesy, he was joking with Dungey that he would win one moto and Dungey would win one just to be fair!
Too bad about all the first lap crashes in the final moto. Would have been cool to see how it would have ended up with Cairoli and Reed not going down. Cairoli's crash at the start was pretty brutal. I'm glad i'm not his mechanic, that bike looked more like a pretzel than a yamaha.
Wow, good job USA. Italy, Belgium and France all fielding great teams, with extremely fast kids, shows how we can step it up when the heat is on. Whats Bubba thinking now?
I'm sure there are other sites, but this one has some additional information http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/518/4768/Motorcycle-Article/2009-Motocross-of-Nations-Results.aspx :usa:
I hope to be moving to CO next year if everything works the way I want it to. I'll definetly be at the race. Our guys certainly did a great job. Who needs the A team anyway. These guys rode from the hearts and kicked butt. WR Bob
