I wouldn't consider it a mainly European sport - remember Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, Randy Mamola, Kenny Roberts Snr to name but a few?

i think what he means is that for the past decade, not many americans have stood atop the podium, its been mostly europeans. (note: i dont have any facts on hand to back this up, just going by memory). now we have hopkins, krjr., edwards and hayden. i think im forgetting someone, but my aforementioned memory is failing me.

i think its great, but i dont want it to be a usa afair, where its 3 americans fighting for the top spot all the time. i like the different riding styles that the americans seem to have.
