The sand was prepared for Americans and they prefer to quit.
Absent are always wrong..
I preferred to see a good battle with Belgium..

Interesting. How was it prepared for Americans? Or do you mean the track is good for Americans because it's sand? (maybe prepared isn't the correct word?)The sand was prepared for Americans...

HobRoff said:not arrogant - inconsiderate would be the more appropriate word. The promoter and the track are another issue that needs to be addressed but you gotta take the hand dealt out to start with. My two pennies worth.

The MX world in America has followed along the same line I think our culture is heading. It's me first and everyone else or national pride second. I can understand that the seasons are longer here now days and testing is vital to the next seasons set-up and performance, but I guess I don't really get how much it would take away from their testing.
I really do miss the old days when Americans could put selfishness aside to do something to represent their country, not just in MX but life in genera. :think: :think:
