no 4 on yz???....that's stefan
With Joel Smets in a solid third position the team victory went to Belgium with five points. Ferry's ninth and Ricky's first scored the USA a total of 10 which was good for second overall. Finland rode strong and stepped on the podium for third. Stoked on one side that Ricky beat a bunch of World Champions but a second place for team USA, beaten by a bunch of Belgian World champs, was not the result they hoped for.
As admitted by Stefan during the press conference, he did not have an answer to Ricky's pace but he hopes he'll be back for a few more battles in the future as the riders, as well as the 23.000 crowd loved the Americans who brought a lot of prestige and excitement to the race.

Is there something wrong with the picture you posted or my eyes that's playing tricks on me?? I swear it looks like RC is riding a 80cc compared to Stefan, doesn't it look like RC is smaller?

Anyway, too bad about Ryno's crash/broken chain....his qualifying timing was also faster than Stefan Everts. Hope to see this old timer back on top again!
