I was also very impressed by Jeffrey Herlings. He couldn't beat Cairoli but he could keep in in sight - on half the bike. All while showing everyone else how it's done.
As for the American team, well, they picked the Champions and the most popular riders. That usually wins it for us but the tracks are usually not "specialized" tracks. For Belgium, it is all sand - like Florida. Eli Tomac (trains with Tichnor in Florida, Zack Osbourne (races the World Championship - US will get him next year) is coming on strong often top 3 qualifier, and even Bubba would have been a better choice. Bubba can ride him some sand! It fits his balls out riding style.
My Congrats to Germany winning their first and to Cairoli for showing us how it's done.
