OKk halfway mark in the nats and race is only 2 months or so away.........when they pick?? IMO should be DBB......Dungey, Barcia, Baggett........hate to leave Stewie out but consistency is pretty important.........sure Roger and the crew will pick the best...
I thought that RD always announced it at Unadilla also but I could be wrong.
Of course, how does Baggett go in the sand? I know Barcia flies in it....if Baggett flounders, I'd take Barcia over him.
I'll give stewart two moto's to figure out where he needs to be, and I expect him to dominate every BUT Dungey next weekend...And he's been VERY consistent this year (minus the injury) and on the podium in every race he's entered (overalls) and in all but one moto. I'll take that over moving Barcia up.
then why did Stewart come back for that only national to get picked for MXdn, at Unadilla.........if they picked at that race?!?

MX1 RD5
MX3 JS7
MX2 Barcia
He is a great sand rider,we need that in Lommel.
He is aggressive also.
See,those 250F's are going to get crushed off the start in that deep sand against the 450's.
Barcia on a 250F in that stuff blasting his way through the pack slamming guys ect...would be epic to see.
The fans may hate him afterwards like in France,but oh well.
Is any country other than France going to have three solid team members?
You think DeSalle, Strijbos and Roelents or Van Hoerbeek is a better group? Arguable, I guess.
Bagget MX2
Alessi MX3 (and I thought I would never say that)
Stewart will just crash if he is on the MX3 bike
Barcia if something happens to Bagget or Alessi
Pit Row
And what the hell is Holland gonna do? What do they have besides Herlings?
Think he will race for NED/Holland?
Or Brakke or Coldenhoff ?
Maybe like this...
Herlings MX1 (Put him on a 450 or 350)
Coldenhoff MX2 (He did ok at the Belgium GP in MX2 11th & 15th. Also did ok Valkenswaard 6th & 15th)
De Reuver MX3 (He is a good sand rider.)
(ALT - Brakke)
MXdN/MXoN is a bit of a different strategy with the mixed classes.
Those 3 might fair well as a team with decent starts.
You can also throw out 1 moto finish.
Coldenhoff is a midpack runner, maybe he can peek at MXdN at put in a good result for the Netherlands. But i doubt it tbh...
It's to bad they only have 1 fast dude that can run at the front.
For Belgium:
Desalle, as soon as he finds his ryhtm he's damn fast. He lacks that bit of constant speed this year since he did allot less pre-races to stay healthy. Hopefully he can find his groove. (we'l see at Latvia)
DeDyker: Good sandrider and top 5 runner, now that he has the best material available he should do quite well at MXdN. (i sure hope he get's the 450sx for the event.....but since Everts is Belgian i'm quite sure he will get it.)
For the 250 i would pick Van Horebeek: Dude seems to go well, has 5 podiums this season. If he can hit the podium at the MxdN then Belgium is in a great position.
Dungey
Stewart (if he is healthy)
Baggett
But I really don't know about the sand riding of Stewart, Baggett or Barcia and how that may change things. Also, if Stewart is not healthy, I would have no problem with Barcia on a 450.
Right now Baggett has the momentum. But that could change pretty fast.
My bet;
Dungey, Wiemer (or a long shot Alessi), and Baggett.
Stewart is not at full speed and way too inconsistent for a winner take all one shot race.
Barcia's a better sand rider but if Baggett wins the title he's very unlucky if he doesnt get picked imo.
