CN III VOICES L E T T E R S T O T H E E D I T O R "Ryan Sipes is one of the good guys and to see him win [ISDE] is so awesome." Motocross of Nations Great job USA. You left it on the track. Congrats France. Andrus Chesley Great racing! Congrats to the French team for their win and super proud of our guys for coming so close for the overall. Notice the big jump in points for third place and on? The new World champ is for real. Martin Wolf Man, what a great event, it may have worked out different if Webb and Barcia had gotten their typical starts! That said, well done to a powerhouse French team that rode their tails off! Congrats, and see ya next year! Mark Ctune It definitly wasn't our "A" team (Ryan Dungy, Ryan Villopoto, Eli Tomac, Trey Canard, James Stewart) but the young squad stepped it up and gave it their all when nobody else would! Great racing guys and better luck next time. The track looked really hard to make passes and keep it upright around some of those turns. It must have been frus- trating to take three to four laps just to pass one guy! Jeffrey R. Evans Justin Barcia was awesome! Jim Sheldon The USA did good overall con- sidering Cooper Webb doesn't have that much 450 experi- ence, but France was tough and did what they needed to do. I'm looking forward to Cooper racing the 450 class in the USA. Ed Adams Jr. Ryan Sipes And The ISDE Huge, absolutely huge. Ryan Sipes is one of the good guys and to see him win [ISDE] is so awesome. May he get count- less accolades and offers from off-road racing teams as well as MXGP teams. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving rider. May the team turn this into a team title next year. Connor Wurst Absolutely fantastic, but I'm still crushed by our World Trophy team's "luck" with Kailub Rus- sell and Thad Duvall having to drop out. Maybe next year. Great individual results from Taylor Robert, Grant Baylor and Rachel Gutish. And all hail Fred Hoess! Bob Close Kurt Casselli is up in heaven smiling! Way to go Ryan and all of team USA! Alan Sheehan Super job, Ryan Sipes. First American to ever win the overall at the six days! Of all the riders who have been there he is the first; not Malcolm Smith, Dick Burleson, Larry Roesler, Danny LaPorte or the late Kurt Caselli. He earned this big time!
