Now problem to, the best belgium rider is mayby out? injuried, Desalle. That should be pretty bad for the World Championship as MXDN.. Who is come in then? Roelants? De Dijker?
Solid team for a podium but also with Desalle in it they not gonna win the MXDN.

With first choice riders Ramon and Desalle out, and De Dycker currently injured as well as maybe MX2 choice Van Horbeck, Belgium who were potential winners, will now do well to make the podium.
Of the three potential winners one is down already... and they haven't even been on track yet lol and France are struggling to find a third rider on top form, with both Musquin and Pourcel not at their best.
America are already massive favourite with the other countries struggling already.
First Philippaerts (for the second year running), then Ramon and now Desalle, and all within the space of just a few weeks.
Broken shoulder that requires surgery.
Probable MXDN Team:
Strijbos (mx1)
Van Horebeek (mx2)
Roelants (mx3)
What a bummer for us.
Let's just hope everyone else can stay healthy, and hopefully De Dycker, Van Horebeck will be fit come France, although it sounds like Roelants could ride the big bike well too. Still they needed Desalle and Strijbos both in the team if they wanted to win imo. Strijbos has the stuff, the problem is big Ken gets terrible starts even if he is fit.
Brakkeman.. I think that team could still podium, if Van Horebeck is fit he will be good in MX2, but for sure you had a huge chance at the win with Desalle in the team - he doesnt hold the Americans in awe and thinks he can beat them, that mentality is vital. Roelants could suprise though!
I know which team is most likely to win the MXDN every year, we all do. But I was really looking forward to seeing Desalle go up against everyone else in France. Dammit I'm pissed off right now.
Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MX1 will have to face the final three rounds of the FIM Motocross World Championship without star rider and title-contender Clement Desalle after the 22 year old fractured a bone in his left shoulder-joint today at Balen for the Belgian Championship.
Desalle, who had won last week's Grand Prix of Czech Republic and was just 48 points behind leader Antonio Cairoli in the MX1 World Series with 150 still to fight for, took the holeshot in the first moto but exiting the first corner-descent was crashed into by Evgeny Bobryshev.
The Belgian was immediately taken to hospital and the initial diagnosis before detailed-scans pointed to a fracture in the left shoulder. The injury is almost certainly going to require surgery and the winner of four World Championship events this season could opt for a procedure on the right shoulder he damaged through dislocation two months ago at the same time.
Team Owner Sylvain Geboers said: "It is quite unbelievable some of the luck Clement has had this season but sadly we know too-well that this is part of the sport. Clement had made a great start and the accident was no fault of his own. It seems that his season is over and he has to make a decision about getting both shoulders fixed and healed so he can be 100% ready to make a push for 2012."
Matthes: Thanks for supporting our country, Young guns will have to deliver, oldest is Strijbos at 25.
