I think Team Australia is going to have a great finish.

Would be great to see them get on the box.

Awesome team... superpumped for JMart! The kid had such a rough start to the year and now look at him representing us at the Des Nations! I think he will do well.

edit: Dungey's butt patch is cool and look at that sky.

Between stupid selections and injuries, those European teams are depleted.

Not all of them. GB and Aus are as solid as they could be and could potentially challenge the Americans, IMO.

it would be sick if ktm used white rims and honda used red rims to match the yamaha's blue rims

True, but those guys don't need to go out and win. Just consistent rides, which they are more than capable of. A little bad luck from one of the US guys wouldn't hurt either Wink

You never know what can happen, but all I'm saying is those two teams look like the only two that could potentially beat the US, however unlikely.

I hoping team USA throws in down and gets our #1 spot back. The team looks pretty solid. If Dungy rides the way he has been I think we have a good chance Eli too improved big time this year and Martin has proved himself. They are going to kill it!

That's a SOLID US team. I like US as the favorites followed by the Belgians then team Aussie.

Hard to to past team U.S.A this year.

If Metty, Reed and Ferris are all on point Australia will be a very strong chance for the second step of the podium and maybe can push the U.S for the win.

Ferris V Martin on a European track could go either way.

At this point in time you have to give Dungey the win in a heads up battle with Reed, but we know you can never count out Reed.

Same with Tomac over Metty right now, but the track being Sand based might tighten that contest up a little.

Obviously I am super biased and will be cheering for the Aussie win.

But on paper hard to go past team U.S.A in 2014.

I must not have been following any MXdN threads, but why aren't Roczen, Musquin, and Pourcel riding?? Just not selected or declined to go? Huh

Oh, I see Deano is riding for GB again, thought maybe he'd try to get on Team PR this year.............Pinch

Musquin / Pourcel were not picked for France. I believe Kenny either has some visa problems, or is just choosing not to go so he can take time to get adjusted to new team??? not really sure on that one.

Team USA are definitely the favorites, but people shouldn't be so fast to hand them the trophy. Great Britain will be tough, Australia has the potential to be tough, and Belgium can never be counted out. I hate seeing so many riders out of it. You can argue that 3 of the top 5 riders in the world aren't going to be there. Add onto that France's blunder of leaving Musquin off and Team USA's chances keep improving. Cairoli is back to the big bike? I'd rather see that anyway honestly. He's probably going to go 1-1 again if I were to guess.

In his statement here in Germany about not riding the MXoN KRoc mentioned that the visa problems are the main reason for not racing. It would be possible that he would not be allowed to come back to the US anytime soon if he leaves for the MXoN at the end of september. Sucks big time for team Germany.

OZ, BRITS, USA

Strongest teams in my opinion....no particular order

Although Kegums can easily throw up surprises due to the terrain, the weather may make this very interesting, I believe this is the best GB team in a long time and am seriously expecting a very good result - prepare for an upset? maybe.

Team Belgium was the strongest until Desalle got hurt. But with Lieber they still have a shot at it

RV just took his shirt off, told Kawi to get a bike ready, and let the beat down begin early. WoohooLaughing

Really hoping the Aussie's do well.
