I could see ET wanting to do it. Especially if he wins the champ and wants to show that he can beat the GP guys and Villo. That would be a rare and historic stamp to a championship season, and a way to stay sharp until MXDN.

Good idea I think. Get an idea of the pace of the other riders. Will be neat to see Dungey and Musquin out there.

you would think that at least the us des nations team members would race the usgp, to stay sharp like you said.

Be cool to see dungey/musquin/hill/Osborne/Anderson/pourcel there!!!

do you think with a few ama stars racing they might actually get some fans there this year?!!

I take it MM25 will be on either the 350 or the 450 ?

if Tomac really signed with Kawasaki, I wouldn't expect to see him after the last national.

Tomac is a pretty patriotic guy, if hes healthy I would expect him to race the MXDN although I wouldn't be totally surprised if he didn't for the reason you mentioned.

What is the date for MXdN?

It seems like from previous years, (most) contracts start/stop in October. I'm sure Eli will be testing a KX before then, but I wouldn't expect to see him make any appearance on one until his contract with Honda is over.

Is there a special reason for US fans boycott the USGP? Never got that, just asking.

Can't Monster and Red bull lean on there sponsored teams- riders and make them turn up?
Bubba in the mix as well would be great, l don't know if he would be allowed to ride by then?

Ooh man, imagine if Tomac throws his hat into the ring too.

We could have Tony, Clement, Max, RV, RD and Tomac going at it. Would love to see one last rematch of RV vs RD as well. I wouldn't bet against Tomac racing if he's selected for the MXdN.

I'm thinking Tomac is switching teams so no Des Nations, Maybe the GP for Honda...

I'm with Fish71 on this, hope I'm wrong...

Just need to get the US boys to race the remaining 17 rounds of the series to to see if they can beat the World Champ to the title and not just at their home GP! How awesome would that be!

Should be a great race though, hopefully that will inspire Tomac, Barcia etc to race too! My money would be on Eli or RV at Glen Helen! Will Dungey/ Anderson have to succumb to KTM team orders if the title goes down to the wire between Desalle, Cairoli and Nagl? I'm excited to see what happens already!

I would love to see Martin vs Herlings on this track. I know Herlings love sand, but Martin is on it on this track. And it would be nice to see a Dungey vs Tomac vs Villopoto vs Cairoli vs Nagl vs Febvre etc.

What a way to round out the season. Be cool to see ET race it too, I would imagine he will if he gets picked MXoN, which he surely will. I've heard couple of times that there's a chance Herlings could be on a 350 by then too, as will Musquin. Wouldn't be surprised if Roczen rode too

Cairoli
Herlings
Dungey
Musquin
Nagl
Desalle
Paulin
Tomac
Pourcel
Roczen
RV?

Dare you to pick a winner out of those lot

Would be nice to see Canard up to speed by that time in the season. He came on late last year, dude has the speed to run with anyone.

Nobody is boycotting the race, it's just the majority of Fans in the USA don't even know the GP's exist.

maybe if a few top USA riders race it there will be some more interest.

I went to both GP's at Glen Helen they were fun and good racing , crowd was non existent.

Yet another reason to buy a KTM or Husky! That is awesome. Pit and the boys once again leading the way. Gotta love it.

Would the AMA guys be given world championship points though? If so I should imagine they would limit how many guys can join in.............??

Of course they would. Every other wildcard can score points. The limit is at 40, up to that anyone can enter
