Usa wins!!!

I guess I just underestimated the speed of FIM riders. Thought baguette would be solid top 10 runner even on a lite bike. Wilson was farther back than I anticipated as well. Like I said I just underestimated he field.

I hear ya...you're not baggin on baggett, rather giving props to the FIM guys. Yep, Roczen in particular was haulin in the mud!

Not sure if you caught Baggett's qualifier at least there he was able show some speed as he was already way out front and out of the vid frame after the first few corners of his qualifier. Not taking away from the FIM guys but I'll mention the excuse that Baggett fell once in one moto and twice in the other and still managed to finish 4th in his class (that sounds better than 17th overall).
