The Time Clement Desalle Raced The Unadilla Motocross

In 2010 we had one of Europe's best Motocross riders decide to come over and give the Americans a challenge. Clement Desalle was one of the top riders in MXGP challenging Antonio Cairoli and winning races. In 2010 Ryan Dungey was dominating after winning his 450 rookie Supercross Championship and now well on his way of Winning his first 450 Outdoor Motocross Championship. Could Desalle challenge Dungey? Find out for yourself, this is The Time Clement Desalle Raced The Unadilla Motocross.

its such a treat when we have a rider like Desalle or Herlings come over to race a national

[@nickmx3388]

I miss seeing Suzuki's up front and winning on the regular.

[@Corteum]

It would be nice to see again, actually. Who would you put on the Suzuki? I'd put Ferrandis and Tomac :PPP

[@tombo6245]

@@Corteum Tomac for sure, but I think Id rather have Malcom as the second guy there

[@Corteum]

@@tombo6245 Yeah Mooks is a good choice, too. But why don't we see him doing much mx?

[@tombo6245]

@@Corteum I think he's just doing it for health reasons. Pretty sure his brother is gonna have terrible CTE in a few years because of the hits he took in MX.

[@Corteum]

@@tombo6245 Yes, that is an issue. Hopefully his brother takes advantage of the medical new technologies available in certain places.. like stem cells (see "emcell com") and peptide clinics. That way he may be able to avoid CTE altogether or at least stave it off for longer. And who knows, if it's as good as the say (and my research seems to suggest that it is), he might even be able to make a come back :P him, Dungey, Villopoto and Carmichael! lol

[@kiwijohn01]

DeSalles suspension looks amazing. Lots of traction, looks really reactive . Nice

[@Ottopaul484]

"I didn't crash today" great Desalle 😄

[@GMan789475]

Awesome to see him battle up front! One of my favorite years of going here

[@Umber1911]

Sometimes I forget how fast Dungey was in his prime.

[@williamgoske1178]

I.was. There. It was sick

[@xipingpooh5783]

Proof that Suzuki is capable of building competitive bikes. I know all the haters piss on Suzuki but they have a rich history of great riders and championships despite KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas Austria Corp totally saturating the market .

[@glentight]

Yeah, but Roger Decoster had a little something to do with Suzuki back then... where is he now...🤔.

[@xipingpooh5783]

@@glentight that’s why he is THE MAN

[@glentight]

@@xipingpooh5783 won't find an argument against Roger here... he has some magic dust... Mitch tho... ay... Forkner *should have been* "the guy" but he's injury city. Kawasaki have not translated from 250's to 450's well... ever. Wilson & Bagget... last Kawi dominance.

[@marenooomen9574]

When suzuki was still on top

[@MrRacer7111]

Poor Stewart). I was so offended that I dropped out of the race))!

[@nils2118]

Cool vid 😊

[@funkoff5]

I was at this race,we were like wtf is that.

[@koengixxer]

if desalle did train and workout like a real rider should be doing when he is riding MXGP this dude would have been unstoppable.. he didn't train like he shouldv'e been training. But still so fast,amazing dude🤘✊💪

[@TrevorAvrett]

Bare in mind, the rest of the pack had been worn down a bit by races prior

[@koengixxer]

@@TrevorAvrett desalle also and he didn't have the bike he was used to,this bike was almost a stock bike. And he had jetlag.. lol... Races prior? dude..😑🤦..

Unadilla is a track for euros. Look at the podium in 450, all euros…

[@splah01]

Good few tracks this year seem to suit the Euro's !...not going to mention that one time in Ironman either 👍

Didn't desalle also ride washougal once on a bone stock honda?

Since americans focus on SX they lost his supremacy in MX

[@kurtfreegard9174]

Back when Suzuki gave a fuck.

[@kempy7698]

Grow the grass up for 6 months and not till it and have it become UNA-fuckin-DIlla . then these guys would get a taste of what a real track use to be and the europeans have stayed close to that root .

[@daniellarsson3699]

At 16 he was riding in the MXGP world championship….

A t 16 he was racing for Kurz Suzuki in the MXGP. Maybe your mistaking him with someone else.. I saw him train the first time in 1998 at our track,he was eight or nine and was flying.
