I wish they'd let him ride the 250cc bike they have that's way faster than that 350 thing...... The 250SX!... yeah that's the one!

I don't see it that way. I was wanting to see Wilson Bagget, Roczen and Herlings on the 250f's.

For the Americans maybe if KRoc rides a 350. Just like Carolli in the last MXON, he was at a power disadvantage (you may disagree but that is ok) It would also put him on a bike that is heavier and not use to, which COULD be a disadvantage as well. Nope, I would rather see him on a 250 a bike he is use to and see how he fairs against Wilson and Bagget myself.

Hard pack, dry, watered,... cant put the 450's power to the floor. Thats why the 350 works in europe and not in the deep cuted yank tracks.

Maybe it's the same set-up as his 250SX-F with a larger motor...

You might be right but I haven't seen it and would have to be proved IMHO. No matter what he rides, I hope it will be good racing.

Did you recall a particular German called Ken Roczen lead for a while on a 250cc bike last MXDN.... ?

I expect USA to win, but I hope Herlings and Roczen can give them a spanking similar to the famous Mr. Everts.

I think this was epic, the last true race of his live. To bad Ricky Carmichael wasn't there. That would be epicly epic.

"Did you recall a particular German called Ken Roczen lead for a while on a 250cc bike last MXDN"

Did you recall a certain American RV spank everyone on a 250, not only get a holeshot like Roczen did , but spank them. The same guy is going to France. if it is going to be anyone handing out spankings, I would bet it would be in his favor.

We were talking about the 350... Do you recall a world champion in that mxon not being able to beat RD, I think he even lost to Short. As for Everts, wasn't it Ricky that beat him I think it was 2003 when Ricky just pulled away. But as everyone says including Bubba and Everts, we were racing for the team win, not taking risks for an individual win. So while Everts was blasting Bubba, he did the same thing in 2003, or perhaps he could not keep up with Ricky.

Fact is this is a team event. You can't really judge the fastest rider because team tactics will always come into play for the winning team.

The German selection guy didn't think he was good enough so the selected Siegle instead of the injured Nagl... I would selected Ullrich also and then I would putted Roczen into the MX1 class. But I ain't the selection guy!

If Roczen ride the 350F that could be fantastic for the show (roczen vs villo, dungey, reed, cairoli, metcalfe, paulin, pourcel, herlings, searle, etc. Woohoo ). He would become a real contender for individual win, i think.

So, considering the facts of Villopoto and Roczen.... Will Roczen be underpowered on a 350? Or at a power disadvantage as you called it.

There is a lot of heat between Baggett and Wilson right now after Pala, and I think that is going to be the sight to see.

Hmmm, Germany don't really have much chance as a team.

So, maybe Ken's thinking that he's just there for himself. So, what better challenge than to put himself up against RD & RV?

I think he will romp on the 350. Sure, it's down on power to the 450s, but if the weight is closer to his 250F then he will kick butt on it (he'll probably kick butt on it anyway).
