Would it be Florida? California?
That would still be decent teams and have a shot at the win but Italy and Belgium would have a better chance.
BTW France hasn't announced their team but Seb Pourcel has a lot of speed to show and Aubin can ride a 450F pretty well also. He does so in the French national and is not too far from Pourcel. Frossard would make a good 250F.

No disrespect but I have heard some of his interviews and it seems as though he still believes he would have done better at the MXDN if he had more time on the bikes and other excuses. It would have been nice to hear him admit that he got schooled. Everts a few years back admitted that RC was just on another level and that takes an incredible amount of sportsmanship to say. Carolli uhm yeah, could not muster that up.
I think Reed, Byrne and Metcalfe would have them covered. Only 'cos I'm a biased Aussie. Would be close though.

I suspect that more average people in Europe ride anyways from my trips there. I bet per Capita they have 3x the # of riders.
MX2-GP World Champion Antonio Cairoli has undergone surgery on his left knee after scans yesterday in Belgium revealed a damaged ACL. Renowned specialist Dr Claes performed the successful procedure and the repercussions of the injury sustained last weekend in South Africa and the subsequent recovery period mean that the 2008 series is over for the unlucky Sicilian.
Cairoli twisted his knee trying to keep control of his YZ250F after being touched negotiating a crowded fourth turn on the first lap of round 10 in Nelspruit last Sunday. Despite a lot of pain, early signs appeared not to be too bad with little inflammation around the joint; the reigning number one and winner of four Grand Prix this season showed immense courage to even attempt the second moto but ultimately had to pull into the pits, unable to continue.
Upon returning to Europe, Cairoli had an MRI which revealed the ligament damage and immediately made a decision together with Yamaha Red Bull De Carli team principal Claudio de Carli to go under the knife and begin the rehabilitation process of between 3-4 months, with an aim to be fully fit over the crucial winter period where he will begin preparations for his assault on the MX1-GP class in 2009.
“I was frustrated and disappointed after the accident with my knee in South Africa. The championship is so tight that I knew even missing just one moto was an advantage I could not give to Tommy and Tyla,” the 22 year old said. “I thought I might have some problems with the meniscus and hoped I could come back in Lommel as I did not want to surrender the title but after the scan I knew that the championship had gone for sure. Instead of trying to ride in pain or not being at 100%, I made the decision to have the surgery now and get the recovery out of the way as soon as possible.”
Cairoli should be able to start walking with crutches very soon and will have a check-up next week. In less than a month he will be able to start training with a bicycle.
