[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 192938, member: 1650"] As for the Euro vs American thing, I am glad to see it is still alive and well. If you think about it the man who was leading the MXGP stopped by America last year. Unlike him, Ryan Villopoto actually won a race. Of course the Euros (Press)had to point out that the track was similar to American tracks. I guess that means they are conceding that no matter what the format that the Euro's can't win on American type of tracks against Americans. He was actually doing better than any first year team had in memory. Lots of new people and though he had some A class people involved, he didnt have the likes of the others at KTM or even Honda or Suzuki. He was going to do what I expected and that was be a standout on days when things were more in his wheelhouse and be a top 6 most of the other times, and likely 3rd in the end his first year. Since he was deadset on one year you wonder how comitted to riding his hardest all the time he was ever going to be able to muster. [/QUOTE]
