Herlings recognises that. Eli racing Jeffrey in Holland is harder than racing Jeffrey in the USA too.
But racing MXGP is different. So let's not go putting any crowns or presumptions on how Tomac would beat Cairoli/Herlings to a world title - the true measuring stick for outdoor motocross. You guys tried to say RV was better than AC for years, and look how that worked out when he finally raced MXGP - it's just totally different than US racing with all the variety in tracks, travel, and different countries every week, with no-one having constant home country advantage.
The world champ is the best in the world. The US champ the best in the US. Both are great but different series.
The MXGP series is a different ballgame to racing in your own country and even racing MXoN. But Tomac has the "wow" speed on his day especially on fast US style tracks, just like Herlings/Gajser and AC are incredible on their day too.
Eli knows where to go if he wants to be the best motocross rider in the world and that's winning an MXGP world title.
But right now he wants to be the best supercross rider in the world, because that's what it's all about in the USA, winning that 450 supercross title!

Great logic.
Perhaps you guys also forget American promoters cancelled the race in 2003 in SoCal and again this year but just ask any of the 40,000 + fans who flooded into Budds Creek to witness Ryan Vilopoto dominate and lead Team USA to victory if this is just a meaningless race?
Europe - 65
North America - 3
South America - 1
Ausrtrilla - 1
Asia - 0
Africa - 0, this one is a stretch unitil you consider South Africa.
This is the "Olympics" of our sport.

In the final race of the day Christophe Charlier set the fastest time by a clear margin too.
My argument was often against those back then slamming Cairoli as a failure and a loser because he hit a hay bayle in the first Moto and broke his wrist etc
Being a massive AC fan I was only happy that team USA won des nations for a few minutes and then I was just pissed when everyone would start slamming AC. It seemed like for years it was our guy vs AC and he shit the bed quite a few times, I would go from arguing about team USA being bad ass to slamming my country men for thinking AC couldn't hack it, until 2012 of course and then by 2014 people that used to say he sucked were on his nuts by then.
Top 5 from each class in both series go head to head as a team race who wins ?
And I know GBR suck but my excuse is the population of the USA is almost 5 times as much as GBR so there is no doubt you will beat us. Just look at Olympic medals won, strong correlation between medals won and country population.
This is not summer olympics where you take a pair of shoes and you're ready to go.
Where do 90% of the A-Final qualifiers come from?
