OK whos going to win it.

I reckon Italy have an awesome chance. Cairoli, Phillipaerts an Guarneri have all been riding brilliantly. They are my pick with no injured riders.

Then theres the States, Kiwi's and Aussies.

Anyone else have any ideas?

[Quicker_with_age]

I cant bring myself to bet against the Yanks they seem like a sure bet to me especially on their own turf.

Italy second Newzealand third, If we still had coppins I would have said second
That said anything is possible, Im really looking forward to it, Would love to go watch it aye. Hope it gets screened on sky!!!!

I'd go for the American's, though my read is next year it's going to be very very interesting, my read is NZ with a fully fit team will be real competitive.

[Quicker_with_age]

The problem is having all our best riders fit and able to race, A problem not just Newzealand have, Usa having no bubba and pourcel not riding etc

[telliman]

i;d hate to say it , but the aussies will push hard!

[snarldom]

Aussie would be almost a sure bet for the podium if they had picked Metcalfe over McFarlane, buggered if I know why they went the other way. If Metcalfe was fit all season the lites class would have been pretty interesting...

[dino3310]

is it on this weekend or next weekend

[Katoomer]

The first of the 3 races is at 5am monday our time.http://www.motocrossmx1.com/ has details and live timing or if you want to part with $US20 watch it live on http://www.mediazone.com/

[scott411]

quick update from my business partner who is iin buds creek

BT had a huge crash off henry's Hill, apprantly pretty big one, seems ok, he is second fastest

Hurley had a big one as well, may have knocked himself out, he rode back to the pits but took no further part in that practice

[Danger]

Oh boy thats got to knock the boys confidence! :doctor:
Please keep any updates coming as you get them Scott.

I'll be up early watching the Rugby and the MXoN at the same time. :jerry:

[Danger]

RV and BT the only riders within 5 secs of RC!

[scott411]

just got a text from Budds Creek

Bt out with seperated ac joint,

HUrley doubtfull as well after being ko'd in practice,

coops running 11th late in mx1 qualifing race

[Danger]

Damn! We just can't get a sporting break this year! First the America's cup and Josh Coppins, now this!

Poor old Ben must be gutted! Daryl too! Do we have a reserve? I doubt it.

[Danger]

Man I'm so bummed out! Thanks for the news even though its bad.
Pass on my commiserations via your friend to the Kiwi lads please Scott.

I gotta go get ready for my ride, getting picked up soon.

[Danger]

Well its been anounced officially that we are out of the MXoN for this year. I'm gutted, this is the big race I look forward to all year! :baby::crybaby:

[GR81]

shithouse result :(

[arj127]

well congrats to the NZ riders anyway, its just the way the cookie crumbled and thats racing.
BT did well to have the third fastest time in practise anyways.

[NordieBoy]

But we had the cookies who crumbled :(

Need to have it like the rugby.
The top guys sit out the first 12 weeks of the season :D

And make them race wrapped in cotton wool for the rest of the season.

GWS Josh, Ben, Cody...

[scott411]

race 1

Villapoto USA 1st (250F)
Reed AUS 2nd, 450
Carmichael 3rd, 450

Cairolli DNF after running 10th early, MCfarlane (australai) never made it up the start line, clipped villapoto on the start straght

[oldguy]

Oh well, always next year, never mind guys, we are all still proud of you's

[scott411]

second race

RV (by over a minute)
De Dicker Belgium 450
Searle GBR 250F

[scott411]

3rd race

RC, USA 450
Tim Ferry USA 450


USA win overall from France, by a big margin,

[Danger]

And Ryan Villopoto is the fastest rider in the World right now eh?

[scott411]

Results MXoN
1. USA 8
2. France 34
3. Belgium 35
4. Italy 57
5. Great Britain 63
6. Spain 68


and Danger, i think you are right, who needs a 450, when the fastest rider in the world rides a 250F,

[Danger]

And lets not forget the man that pushed him into being that fastest rider this year. Without Ben providing the competition RV would probably not have lifted his game so much this season.

[NordieBoy]

and Danger, i think you are right, who needs a 450, when the fastest rider in the world rides a 250F,

Anyone who dosn't ride their bike on the limiter for the whole race?

:msn-wink:

[scott411]

And lets not forget the man that pushed him into being that fastest rider this year. Without Ben providing the competition RV would probably not have lifted his game so much this season.

100% correct

I heard a conversation with Bones (pro Circuit Suspension Guru) he had never done so much work during the season, but this year both BT and RV kept going faster and faster and both wanting to test more and more to gain an advantage that he had been flat out all season testing new setups,

[Danger]

And it looks like Cody didn't bother with racing in the B Series?

[denill]

And it looks like Cody didn't bother with racing in the B Series?

Little point I spose!


Yeah. Bring on next year. The Kiwis had the goods - but not the luck (or the timing). And there is ALWAYS a fair bit of luck reqd.

Next year they will still have the goods.:niceone::niceone:

[Danger]

Well, the point would have been trying to make an impression against some of the best riders from the countries that failed to qualify and trying to secure an overseas ride for next year.
Or again I guess if he had done badly against some of the lesser known names in the B Final it would have done his chances no good at all?

[denill]

[QUOTE=Danger;1218109]Well, the point would have been trying to make an impression against some of the best riders from the countries that failed to qualify and trying to secure an overseas ride for next year.[QUOTE]

Yeah, from the Cody personal point of view you are quite right.

I was thinking on the Kiwi Team aspect.
