I wouldn't say anyone is 100% confirmed until the week of the race.

I personally like getting to see regular GP riders and don't care so much for the Us vs Them drama.

I'll be there no matter who's riding. Not (much) into the us vs them thing either. Unless Hannah lines up....

I'll be there with my son for sure!

I don't really care who shows up, but, I am for sure hoping that AC222 is there!

You'll have lots more riders from this side of the pond riding this year.

I went the first year, only me and 100 other people went. Was cool to see AC222 win in person though with a bike stick in third gear. Off topic when BT101 wins the second Moto he says there is no reason to be surprised he won over the GP guys talking about how different track prep is here vs GPs

well it was planned to have the entire ktm and Husky Teams there. i guess they want a all ktm top 10 in the us.
but jg33 is racing on his monster kawi and i wouldn't be surprised to see peick there as it is his hometrack. i think we can expect the mxdn us team to line up as well.

How many weeks between the last AMA race and this GP? Are all these guys going to want to keep training when the season is over? The USA team should race to get race ready after the layoff.

Alessi has been on the commercials for the USGP, shown during the GP races, but so has Zach Bell. Looks like their will be a good number of U.S. guys on the gate. Do they change the entry rules allowing so many "locals" to enter for this round. I thought their was some mechanism in the rules which discouraged single race entries. What would be required for a privateer outside the top twenty in AMA points to enter?
Injury report says Bell is out for 7mos to a year with bleeding and a large hematoma on his brain.

Is there a possibility we could see full gates, and qualifying races that have more significance than determining gate pick?

If half of these guys show up its going to be fantastic. I hate to say it, but I think I may be more excited for this race than the des nations. I don't think there's any doubt an AMA guy will win both classes. I would hope at least.

Sweet! Do you know what number you'll be flying? Always psyched to cheer on a fellow Vtard! 250s or 450s?

Bell, Millsaps, and Durham won't be there... no clue on the Yamaha guys.

Musquin will race MX1 due to his age.

That's weird for musquin because he races the 250 at des nations.
Do you know if he picks the 350 for that reason?

Alessi barely cracked the top 20 several races ago in Europe.
