Too much wine when the selections were made?
A) He was asked to ride 450 and wouldn't 'help the team' so they diteched him
C) Plans to get some surgery?
D) They are out of their mind!

Edit: The original quote changed.
Same with us and Wilson.
Fucking ridiculous.
as for Musquin not being picked - LUDICROUS !
He's a two time world champion and as such far more accomplished in Europe than any other current French rider.
Pit Row
And: Last year it was musq,paulin and boog, so Tixier and Charlier, neither of them has mxon experience. Charlier can hardly stay on the bike for 2 races in a row and tixier is consistant but not that fast (he got beaten by guys like petrov and tonkov). I mean ofc he is fast, but musquin would put 20sec on him in a moto, on both of them.
I cant see any reason behind that stupid decision (from sports pov, idk what happened backstage), I guess its just french people being french people... stupid guys
i have read some idiotic posts from some posters here and sometimes people say dumb things for no general reason... but almost every one of your posts that i've ever read here are the most idiotically mind numbing shit that i've read on a general forum, and that's saying a lot.
The comments you made in this thread is some of the most idiotic things i have read here in a while.
And that my friend is a low for anyone...
Saying that Charlier could surprise some people on that 450, he is a big guy and won a moto in MX2 this year. I think he will be an excellent 450 rider in a couple of years.
Tixier is the second fastest rider in MX2 and on his day he could give Marvin a run for his money I think. So the speed difference probably isn't huge between the two. Musquin also did pretty bad last year at the nations too so the team isn't as weak as it looks to the US MX fans.Charlier and Tixier are very fast.
But would Marvin's experience made them stronger? i think so mainly because of experience.Two rookies in the team is quite risky with the pressure of that race and Musquin has already raced and done well on the 350.
marvin stated on his facebook he offered to race the mx3 class and KTM agreed to support him with a 450 or 350.
He has more experience everything than these two young guns. I mean nothing agains charlier and tixier, but neither of them has been at a nations team before and charlier has not ridden the big bike before in such a race - marvin has raced some supercross at least and he has been training with the 350 + he as been at 3 mxon so far.
His bad results... 2 years ago in Lakewood he had one bad moto that was his fault (he was injured before and in that case it really was stupid by the french fed to pick him) and ond technical dnf, and last year it was lommel sand that he has not ridden for several years - still he was 3rd in mx2 behind rocz and baggett
man I wish I had an email or any contact info of the guys that dropped him to tell them my opinion :D
and I also wish Marvin good luck for the 4 remaining nats - may he win as much as possible and make his fellow french dumbasses look like fools for not picking him
France needs to give RV the French nationality, a house in Saint Tropez and a couple of Italian cars
Here we can win !
He's way more up to speed now as reflected in his AMA results and he has MXdN experience,sure as well as the 350,even though Tixier is way faster this year than he's been before he's a rookie and Musquin may still has the edge on speed
Your memory is failing you. At Lakewood KTM brought a Fuel Injected 250 for the first time, and his kept having issues. (Not sure if Kenny's was also fuel injected, but he kicked major butt that day)

You need all the power you can get and then some to ride good at that track. Between the altitude induced lack of oxygen and the huge step ups they built for the MxDN, you just can't be screwing around with a sketchy bike.
France had a legitimate chance that weekend but the bike failed them.
Post a reply to: Hold up....France doesn't want Musquin to ride for them at the MXoN?
