Desalle is running the number 13 for Belgium and call me superstitious but I don't trust that number at all at that race.
And I too am going with Cairoli, Roczen and Herlings as the individual winners. I would go as far to say that I think Kenny will go 2-2 in his moto's.

Australia. Would love to think we will do better than 6th, but it will be a tough ask I think.
Moto 1: mx2+mx1
Moto 2: mx2+mx3
Moto 3: mx1+mx3
Only moto results count, regardless of class.
Good interview with Joel Smets on mxlarge, talking about how the American supreme self confidence helps them similar to what I said in an earlier post, while the Belgians etc are never sure how they compare and have been watching the Americans on tv and reading about them in magazines.
France don't seem to figure in anyone's predictions,Boog in for Pourcel will be telling,at least he'll put in the effort,you can never tell which CP377 will turn up,if Frossard was there I'd have put them as serious contenders
Italy will miss Philipaerts badly too,
Germany or Holland could podium
The USA team is awesome,especially on paper,and should take it but the MXdN format always throws up suprises,look at last year,Musquin had below par finishes,Pourcel came in for goggles but when he went by Dungey in the last Moto it wa on as Baggett had an suprise bad day
Pit Row
I predict grey sky, worn out riders and bikes, low speed crasches, bikes not willing to fire up again. The results are exciting but the races will probably be pretty miserable. It's not something I would show up as the image of motocross to an outside sponsor.
I'm surprised they picked this place for mxon. Someone must be pretty desperate to see team USA loose. If USA looses I'm okay with that. If USA wins it will hurt even more because the races wasn't that fun to watch
Sounds like motocross to me.
I love the diversity of the gp tracks as well, I just want to prepare those not familiar with Lommel what to expect.
Certainly better than purpose built, man made tracks like Franciacorta or Donington which were both more of a US Supercross style of track than GP circuit don't you think?
One bad race, we lose.
As I told my Dad....
RD5 is the anchor, he'll be fine and have two good races
Baggett and Barcia COULD BE the weak links.
Baggett is a California hard packer, the sand as deep as Lommel is, could throw him. Not worried about his fitness.
Barcia will be on a 450 in that deep shit, and could easily make a mistake. Dutch/Belgian sand is not like GA/FL sand, totally different animal.
Keep in mind, any of you familiar with sand tracks, there's no bottom to the sand over there. It is sand on sand, with no bottom. It just gets deeper and deeper and you will not get to or find a base for traction or stability. It is ever shifting.
Spooky shit
Dutch team could surprise you. De Reuver can go very fast and Coldenhoff isn't slow either.
I think all the American's will be fine, they have plenty of time to adapt and test since they are coming early. They are even riding the track.
I have watched every single round of the gp's for almost 15 years and I enjoy them all in different ways. In Lommel it's interesting to see the outcome, and a 10sec lead means a lot less than on hardpack. I must admit that I prefer to watch tracks with more airtime and speed a bit more as a spectator. Seing them on Lommel reminds me too much of my own riding capacity on better prepped tracks lol
