Yep if the USA get the starts they got yesterday there will be no stoping them. The first moto starts in just over one hours time (9pm Aus EST time) if my times are right. Heres the link for the live feed-

Hopefully our boys can really make things happen on race day, but be consistent too! Surprised by Baggett's form so far, he seems to have really stepped it up for this weekend. Cairoli is doing good for the Euros, his qualifying performance a standout also.

Yep YEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reedy wrote on twitter that he had "mixed emotions" meaning that I guess he thought that they were in a shot at either first or second overall if we didn't have the mech issue with Mossy and a few silly crashes by Reedy and Metty in that last moto but really all the countrys had there badluck only this year our badluck wasn't bad enough to cost us a spot on the box. The 3 of them should hold there heads high!!!
America always has a few little troubles but they always come out smelling like roses, its crazy!!
Only 364 days until next years MXoN at that Gnarly sand track (Lommel??), Aussies love sand!!!!!!

How crazy fast is Roczen, ended up passing Dungey for 2nd place in the first moto and was putting the pressure on Reedy, he ended up 2nd and 4th on a 250F against the 450s.
I reckon the biggest revelation from this years race would be Bobbyshev from Russia, Id never heard of the guy before but he was running up front both motos and even passed Reedy late in there 2nd moto

Yeh that was his first des nations, on sunday practice when the aussies ran Reed9th,Metty10th and Matt 11th out of all 60 final riders the team was pretty confident. Matt gave Chad his start gate for the first moto as a good start for Chad in race 1 was the key. Matt was told to finish top 20 race 1 and his job would be done,he came 19th and was the 5th 250 home,so aus were running 3rd after that race. Unfortunatly for Matt he was keen to have a real go race 2 and his bike broke down on the parade lap and would not start on the line. Metty and Chad did the job really well from there,they even moved up to 2nd with 5mins to go but both made a little mistake each and we moved back to 3rd.
