I'll believe Stewart is racing a few Nationals when I see it. He wasn't terribly impressive in his last MXdN showing so, in my book, he's not a cinch pick. Others deserve to go over him.
You really didn't understand the assignment did you?
Presuming we send Dungey, Short and Canard how about Stewie and RV if they are healthy and ready and Regal and Tedesco if they are not for MX1/MX3 and Barcia, Wharton or Weimer for MX2.
Dungey gets the MX1 because he won both titles and was there last year.
No other MX2 US rider is close to Canard speed right now.
Stewart goes because I've never ever heard anyone say Short is faster then him. The point is winning right? Although consistent Short has some sort of mental block on winning.
MX1: Dungey
MX2: Canard
MX3: Stewart
reserves: Short, Wharton
Im not sure about the people saying Weimer, sure he went last year, but he didnt do that great then, and this year has been a less than stellar mx season for him
Short
Grant
(Stewart en RV2 if race ready)
Canard
Weimer
Barcia
5 isn't much for 3 spots. then you have 1 backup for 1 250 rider and 1 backup for 2 450 riders.

Oh.... and Lenny.
According to my sauces, the Guatemalan team is selected using a rock-paper-scissors
tourney (3 moto).
The Jamaicans have a smoke-off - last man standing format, mon.
Plus two hits.
With the Finnish they run a race and the first three guys to the American line get the
checkered flag.
The Turks send their young guys.
The Canadians are up in Scotland screening potential applicants as we speak....
