Have been a great couple of weeks following these guys training. You cant ask for more. I never saw them as podium contenders in the sand. But massive respect for comming over as soon as they could and made their best effort to be a contender.

Great effort in some really tough conditions. A unfortunate incident kept them from a potential podium. They all put in the work and tried their best. Very proud of these men.

Thanks again guys for representing Team USA. This race is about consistency and not having anything bad happen, unfortunately race 1 hurt the teams results and physically hurt one of the riders. Part of it unfortunately. Very proud of the effort and congratulations to the other countries.

Terrible luck, but the effort was there. Justin killed it on Saturday and it's unfortunate they tangled in the first moto. It was a racing incident, though. I wish we could have seen how we fared against Netherlands with that good start in the opening moto, but I still think it wouldn't have been enough. Netherlands were by far the best team the past two events. I hope we can send our best next year. If Tomac, AC, and Cooper or Forkner can attend next year that'd be epic.

Team USA didn’t excuse themselves to prep for supercross, they stepped up to represent their country. I hope they had a good time and learn from the experience.

Where'd you hear he broke his arm?

These 3 boys are the best to represent USA!
Lot of US fan boys have to think about that!

It is Motocross and we are a huge small family!

Thanks for being there at the Nation's!

He was definitely not the same after that crash.

What happened in the first moto sucked but all of them can be very proud of their effort. They brought back fun to this race from the American side of things and that was way, way more important than any specific result.

Thanks for the effort and coming over boys!

With a bit more luck they would have been on the podium...

Cooper was really impressive all weekend and after the warm up today, i told my friends wacht out, he is gonna suprise today and will win the 250 class...

2 corners after the start it was over and he not looked like the same guy he was before the whole weekend. It took him pretty long to get up after the crash.

But big respect for his effort to keep going and riding that track without a clutch!!! he could pulled in with ease because a results was long gone.

Anderson rode pretty good last.

Huge thanks to all three riders. They put everything they had into this effort and as a fan you can't ask for more than that. They qualified third on a track many thought they would get eaten alive on and showed that they belonged. Even though race day didn't go how we'd hoped it's a race against the very best and anything can happen. Thanks for the behind the scenes videos and taking us all with you. Come back with your heads held high.

That could very well be.

Either way, hopefully Cooper is just battered and bruised. His first MXdN didn't go as planned and a broken arm to top things off, wouldn't make for great memories.

I will admit to having doubts about our team when first announced. I can now say I was wrong...way wrong. They showed guts, determination, and pride....and that's worth saluting. If Roger announced these three warriors as our team for 2020 today...I'd say Hell yeah. Great effort fellas...really, really pleased with you representing the USA.. Thanks.

Really wanted to the see the US lads on the box this year.

The effort that El Hombre and Zach went too to acclimatise prior to the event is truly admirable, they deserve the upmost respect from not just their fellow countryman, but the global mx community.

2016 Anderson broke his foot, then ya know. Kamikaze.
2017 Covington tore his ACL.
2019 Cooper breaks his arm? Cant even blame the guys opting to not go for unpaid race.

Interesting that some of you fans continue to mention “no pay” whilst Jason’s instagram tells us he’d “do it all again”.

What does that say about a man..?

Says he cares about things other than money.

But end of the day, they gotta make money. I try to limit my risks so I dont miss work, and I have a savings, short term, and long term disability. If these guys miss a race, they're losing out on bonus money.

Of course I don't know how youd organize pay for this, I'm sure theres money from some sponsors. But mxgp has no purse so why do one for the mxon. Anyways this is the wrong thread for this argument, I dont mean to derail here. Just keeping my fingers crossed that Cooper is ok aside from bruises.

It was a real shame that after all the effort that this team have put in, any real chance team USA had of a good result ended less than a minute into race 1. The team can be proud of their efforts though. Cooper was excellent on Saturday and Anderson rode very well today. I think Osborne will be disappointed with how he rode this weekend, but on the whole, a good effort from the team
