Great video coverage of a great race on a superb European track. Congratulations for Team Belgium, but if Hughs hadn't crashed (that's racing!), he would have caught Smets and America would have taken the title. Hughs did a supreme job for a 125 rider moved up to the 500 class and has nothing to be ashamed of; he was no weak link of the team as some have suggested. Team America also had nothing to be ashamed of taking second to a strong Belgium team and that by only 1 point. A few years ago we one a Des Nations by a single point, so its only fair that we lose one in like manner.

On the positive side. The best Des Nations video coverage I've seen since watching them from before America began to dominate. Very clear video and great track angles. And what a track! The Swiss track is also the best I've seen altho a lot of others run a close second; would have loved to race that track. The British commentator also did an excellent job of keeping track of the riders while they were visible coming thru the corners and over the jumps, however, he put the commentators curse on Team USA from the beginning saying more than once, "Could this be the year the Americans winning streak comes to an end" or something to that effect. He also denigrated Mike Kiedrowski multiple times implying that he was the weak link of the team. Kiedrowski did a great job in light of racing with an injured hand, but I really think he should have been on the 500 since he did so well in 1993, and the fact that La Rocco was 250 National Champ.His 5th in the last moto was America's worse finish and the result that was dropped. Emig also did an admirable job on the 125 against the world's best. Nichols letting La Rocco pass him by team orders only saved them the embarrassment of La Rocco passing him anyway. Lastly, full marks for Team Britain nevertheless, they did a great job and deserved to win, but Team America has nothing to be ashamed of in losing by only 2 points.

John Dowd raced his first MX race at the age of 20 in 1985. He raced pro from 1987 to 2013. Can that happen today, stating so late on his own dime, and becoming one of the best in the world? I don't know. I guess if the talent is there, it can happen again.

This era was the era of 12-15 laps... they never had the stamina like Ricky Carmichael. I will say it was truly a competitive era. Silverdome in Pontiac Mi. Was a great venue for SX... the facility was huge. We went to nearly every race in the 90... never missed 94-2K

I want everyone to notice how many people in Europe can afford a motorcycle and play, but when you look at America only a few can play. Proving that because they don't have to defend themselves and America does, we are poorer for it.

@hyfrsilaz71442 ай бұрын
Emig was better that year for sure. And as a 125 rider period. McGrath had lost the outdoor title on a Honda and was discouraged by emig after. If Suzuki was so bad that year then y did dumb ass McGrath choose that team? Also Albertyn won the opening race on the same bike McGrath rode all season and lost on.
@EarthSurferUSA2 ай бұрын
Mac left Honda over contract disputes only about 2 weeks before he went to Suzuki. There was nothing wrong with the Suzuki, as Roger made every company he worked with the best bikes. Chad Watts as Mac's mechanic really dropped the ball. Skip took over and saw the throttle was not even opening up all the way on his race bike. I am sure there were other problems. Jermey just was not riding very well either. Emig won as he should have.
