What happened? all the yanks on thumper talk are going off saying BT101 got what was coming to him
What happened? all the yanks on thumper talk are going off saying BT101 got what was coming to him
Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses
BT and short came together in moto 1 and Short ended up on the ground, the waht i saw on tv did not really show it that well
2nd race BT passed short and short went down hard. Was just a hard racing pass.
Yanks are calling karma on BT, he dropped it while in 2nd place in the last race, looks like he's tweaked his knee or something.

Townley wins moto at MXON in Denver
Representing New Zealand at the 64th edition of the Motocross of Nations held in Denver Colorado, Ben Townley scored an impressive moto victory in front of 35.000 the Thunder Valley raceway over the weekend. Teaming up with Josh Coppins (MX1) and Brad Groombridge (MX2) Townley was the Open class representative and one of the favourites to win the individual classification in that class.
As the MX2/OPEN moto got underway, Townley had a decent start and quickly shut down fellow Honda racer Andrew Short from the USA. BT wasted no time in making an aggressive pass on the American with both riders not backing down. It was Short who came off second best as Townley managed to keep upright and take over the lead. A charging Ken Roczen from Germany made for some exciting racing when he passed Townley for the lead. BT settled into a race rhythm and set up the young German for a great pass where he succeeded to pull a comfortable lead to put Team NZ high up on the score board with his superb victory.
The final and deciding MX1/Open moto once again saw BT challenging for the win. With the USA duo of Ryan Dungey and Andrew Short out front Townley closed in on Short and made the move on the American with five laps gone. Townley pushed to keep Dungey honest however around the halfway mark he made a vital mistake and went down hard, twisting his ankle in the process. Townley remounted and tried to complete another lap but had to retire with a sprained ankle.
“It was great winning the first moto” explained Townley “ There were so many Kiwi supporters cheering us on today and to win for them is amazing. Of course I’m disappointed with my crash in the second moto. Luckily nothing is broken, just some swelling and pain so I should be ok in a few days. The Motocross of Nations is a such a special event to me – the camaraderie between the teams is great to see and experience. I’m proud of what we achieved with Josh and Brad and look forward to next year in St. Jean d’Angely in France.

It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

Damn that Roczen kid is fast. The way he moves around on the bike and moves the bike beneath him is nuts!
Awesome racing by Ben. It's the biggest event in MX you're not going to take it easy on the other guys.
Whats it going to take to beat the yanks? they are so up them selves, they are even starting to mock the FIM world series, well there fans are.
As for Josh, I think he would be a #6 maybe even better in the FIM, if not for riding the Aprilia, I dont think the bike was up to the task, in the MXoN.
Dungey vs Cairoli? 450 vs 350? is the displacement the differences or is Dungey the man.
Could Cairoli have done better on a 450?
