Go read some other sites and they’ll tell you who did what and how it all went down. Here, with the help of James Lissimore, is some Saturday stuff.

Team Philippines was in the house! It’s great that they were there and all that but man, they were slow. Thier MX3 guy was 30 seconds off the pace. In one lap. Yes, I’m serious. |

Andrew Short had the dream race at his home track. He holeshot and took off for the win and clinched Team USA’s number one position heading into tomorrow’s motos. |

There were a lot of fans there today and this guy was in full support of Great Britain. I angered some Irish people when I feigned ignorance that Ireland was part of Great Britain. |

Team Canada made the A Final!! In all seriousness, it was a great ride by the guys. Here, on top of Kyle Keasts bike, is their motivation to make the A final. Free Timbits for everyone! |

Heartbreak for Da Germans when Ken Roczen went down on the last lap while in front of the entire field in the MX2 qualifier. The ghosts of Unadilla might have grabbed his front wheel… |

Brett Metcalfe flexed his muscles first for the camera and then on the track as he rode great in the MX1 heat race to get 2nd behind Antonio “Ravioli” Cairoli. |

Here’s Jeremy Medaglia on his way to an 11th in the MX1 heat race, that damm Kiwi Josh Coppins got him near the end. Still a great ride for Jer-Bear. |

GEICO Honda had Trey Canard and two members of Team Australia under their tent. Then they had this inflatable kangeroo that they brought into the bedroom after. |

This guy ripped off the win in the MX1 class while his main competitor Ryan Dungey battled through the traffic. Antonio Cairoli is hell-fast and pretty stylish as well. And if any of you believe he’s riding a 350 out there, then you’re also the type to believe in unicorns and chocolate rivers. |

HE showed up. That’s Jo Jo Keller in the background, Timmys so old that he raced against Keller. |

Here’s Mitch Payton trying to broker an interview with me and Little Hanny. He wants no part of me whatsoever. He’d like to set me on fire but Mitch stops him. |

Here’s Harry Nolte who runs the CLS team in Europe which is a full PC Kawi team over there. I worked with Nolte at KTM in 2001, he’s a good dude. Pretty funny, he’s Dutch and he likes goooooooollllllllldddddddd! |
