Motocross of Nations

Do whatever you want.

Or sign with KTM, race the GPs, and then ride for Motocross of Nations every year and have the entire American fan base behind you.

He'd rebuild his brand.

We'd all be behind the guy.

Motocross of Nations.

Ah, it's the move come back in two years when the market's better come back when the lucas coonan thing doesn't work out on a 450 and get your spot back then but now he's going to help me

help me kellen tell me he's not

Watch me in it.

We had a couple missing, and most notably was the CDR Yamaha boys.

They were at Motocross of Nations at Townsville.

When Townsville was on, they were on the same weekend.

So they'll be back.

Yeah.

But I think the closest we get now would be like Joe doing 450 at Motocross Nations or something.

Yeah.

Well, he's racing 450 at Geelong.

Spain, what could have been? Yeah,

I feel like it'll be good now that Perez will be on a 450 full-time next year so then Garcia can drop back to a 250 for Nations if they still do the same sort of program.

Dude, hurlings at Motocross Nations this year.

Unbelievable.

You've fallen right into my little trap.

Do you still care to talk about motocross of nations or motocross donations two and a half weeks after the event? I don't know if you do.

And therein lies part of the problem.

We're going to get into three things that are happening right now in the sport.

Don't need that receipt anymore.

Hopefully it's not a credit card number on there that you just studied.

Now I'm going to draw the level of attention that Motocross of Nations gets.

throughout the year.

Fair call.

So how is life after, we're a couple of weeks now after Motocross of Nations has all that, you know, probably a little bit of stress that went with it, a little bit of excitement, all the, you know, overload with the fans and everything.

Has all that sort of calmed down and have you been able to get a perspective of what happened that couple of days that you were over in France?

Yeah, definitely.

And you seem like you're pretty keen on having a full supercross prep and getting into that side of things.

Is it...

We were talking about this side of things and going, would you rather have a Nations on your resume or would you rather had been to Townsville and, you know, got into that swing and had potentially a full prep and run in the Supercross? Are we stoked that we took the Nations? Do we sort of wish we could have done both somehow? You know, where are we sitting at with that choice now looking back on it?

obviously um i'm definitely stoked to do the nations and uh the obvious answers would have been the best case if i could do both

But yeah, I

heard at Nations that they were trying to get out.

That's where I obviously tweeted that Giannis was going to Factory KTM and Carlos was going to Van Venroy.

I knew that because at the Nations, I was told that was what they were trying to do.

So yeah, that kind of predated the Yamaha decision.

Yeah, well, I mean, definitely a bit of a blow for just having a major team lost from the paddock in the MX2 standpoint.

out.

Partzilla Arena Cross coming to a theater near you somewhere around the country.

You guys had a lot of straight ruts coming into corners.

Um, But hey, the cool thing was you were all debutantes and we were kind of going back through our archives and the last time we had three debutantes on our Motocross Nations team was 1997.

Jeez.

Yeah, it's a long time.

So I feel like it didn't...

It doesn't really matter what one you're in.

I mean, you're just chasing sort of a good performance in every race that you do at Motocross of Nations because it's just, you know, per moto scored and you can only have the one that you drop.

Yeah.
