Okey, I know it's early but...
RV will probably be one of the two to be picked, if he's healthy, for the MXoN this year. RD is an outdoor machine but however, I believe it's JS that can pick up RVs speed and give him some competition. Maybe Dungey will pick it up and be the contender, but lets say that it becomes a battle between RV and JS. Do you guys think De Coster will pick James or will he, like always, pick his favorite boy Dunge as his MX1 rider?
For the MX2 spot, I hope Tomac gets it and smokes everyone with the speed we all know he has.

After last years performance, I think it's time to give someone else, like Larocco, the opportunity.
The statement that Herlings "beat" Villopoto at age 16 is factually true while not coming close to telling what actually happened in that race.
At age of 17.
Either way you look at it, a healthy RV vs a healthy Herlings is sure to be a race to remember.

DeCoster is THE icon in our sport and we're lucky to have him continue to deal with the grind of travel year after year to stay actively involved in MX. If you haven't traveled extensively you have no idea what a toll and impact it has on your personal life.
We got beat plan and simple at Lommel and the deep sand there played to the Euro's advantage but hey that's racing! I'm looking forward to Roger leading the charge in Germany.
BTW I like Blake Bagget but it is clear racing MX across the pond is not his forte. He had two chances with a good wrist and given his physical condition now there is no way I would have him on Team USA in Germany. That having been said I hope he works through his wrist issues and returns to form over the course of the summer but I still wouldn't have him on Team USA for a third time.
I would be really surprised if Baggett got picked instead of Tomac. He already had 2 outings and it was mediocre at best.
I'm going out on a limb here, the foundation of the United States of America was setup so that we will never be under a president for more than two terms. This was to allow different leadership regardless of good or bad. To allow fresh ideas.
My point I'm trying to make is........Why is it so bad to allow a different person be team manager? It won't make the US riders go slower or faster. Is it then because of his international relationships?
Also, on a side note, I am aware that Roger DeCoster does not pick the team, a committee does.
KlootZak - stay classy, buddy
MT MX:
DeCoster has done so much for a country that isn't even his own. Why would we change up leadership when we've been so successful thus far? And to your point of the manager not picking the team, why does it even matter?
DeCoster has done a fantastic job as the U.S.' team manager so why would we want to get rid of him? He knows how to take care of all the organizational aspects of the event, which is much more complex than a race in the U.S. Last year was just a fluke, Teutschenthal is a fairly hard pack track so I don't think we'll have any problem there.
It just makes sense really.
