Or maybe roczen will ride the 350 in mx1/mx3 for germany? be very interesting if he does herlings could ride the 350 aswell (coldenhoff mx2, de reuver mx1/mx3)
this years des nations will be a classic if all the contenders are fit! If christophe pourcel is fully fit and racing he could win too!!!
be interesting to see who team GB pick- wilson and searle are pretty much guaranteed a spot if fit, but who should the 3rd spot go to? anstie? brad anderson? billy mackenzie?!!! i guess we will have to wait and see after the british gp!!!

i think RV and dungey are pretty much guaranteed a spot- what about the 3rd place on the team?! baggett is super fast but gets bad starts and crashes alot! would RV or dungey still be elligible for mx2? if so then how about windham for one of the big bike spots?! k dub, rv and dungey would be a GREAT team! or canard, who else?

As far as MX1 and MX3 go.... again it's impossible to predict really, there's just so many good riders. Obviously you have to bet on the usual suspects but I would think Frossard should be especially strong given that the race will be in France and he won a moto there at the GP this year I believe.
Just hope that everyone stays healthy. Losing Musquin was a real downer.
TC has been of the bike for too long, and he's used to his 450.
Dungey and RV are no brainers.
Either way...USA wins the event by a mile.
(and if someone mentions Osbourne as a good MX2 candidate for USA, I'm going to have myself a good chuckle...he's not even close to being in the equation....he's like 4th string.)
team USA's best chance of winning is to be consistently up there in every race (they often get beat in moto's by other countries but consistency usually wins it for them due to other countries having a bad race ie belgium 06 with strijbos' bad race) - RV and dungey both have lots of experience and have ridden at the mxdn before, pretty sure they could both go at least as fast on a 250f as the youngsters, but they have the maturity and experience needed for this event- same with windham on the 450- smooth, consistent- lots of experience.
same with team gb- wilson and searle will be first choice, but who gets the 3rd spot? billy mac? brad?
team france (if all fit) - who do they pick?! frossard is flying this year, musquin will be fast if fit, same with cristophe pourcel, and seb pourcel! then theres paulin
looking forward to this one, hopefully ill be able to get there cos ive not been to a des nations since matterly in 06, and st jean is an awesome track! just got to figure out how to get there!!! i get back to the uk from a weeks riding in holland on the thursday before the event, so will hopefully be flying out to france on the thursday/ friday!!!
hopefully the sun will be shining, and luck will be on our side- and we will walk away with the trophy like 94!!!!! (wishful thinking i know but anythings possible!)
However, Bagget looks like he's on a completely different level right now, even with a bad start or a crash he comes back SO strong. I don't know how you could choose anyone over him right now, he's a shoe in for me and a match up with him and Roczen/Herlings would be amazing.
Hopefully Zac will get the chance to ride for Puerto Rico again and really show what he's capable of on a track he favours.
