Yeah, DeCoster has really mismanaged our team for the past couple decades.

Not sure if Osborne can go even if he was picked, he raced for Puerto Rico several times and I'm pretty sure its against the rules to race for both. I just remembered he's racing ISDE that week anyway.

Roger has been in America for many many years.... I'd be willing to bet he's an American citizen now, so he is running his country's team!

I don't see how that matters? Roger is a class act, the cream of the crop, a model team manager. Mitch is great too, but what, exactly, is your beef with Roger D besides his accent and the country he rode for in the 70's?

If anything, you should feel lucky that he chose to manage our team, and not the Belgians (who have quite a few MXdN wins under their belt). He's showing his allegiance to our country, and I'm just fine with it.

There was no one from Pro Circuit in 2010. I am sure it will be RV, RD, and ET. They just want to wait to announce it for some reason.

There's no conspiracy or sponsor conflict, one of the 3 stacked it in pretty good this week and they're waiting to see how they ride(if at all) this weekend before making the decision on the final team.

if your going to use 2012'S results (that got him that #1 ) does that mean your same logic wont have rv on the team as he was only back for injury ?

Um yeah?

Never mind who has the points lead and who appears to be the stronger rider right now. Lets just go by the number on his bike? I guess that makes Barcia the 51st pick? 6 more guys in front of Stewart? MA800 sure would have a lot of guys in front of him.

Where did you come up with that logic?

You have to be out of your mind! Do you even follow this sport at all?? Do you know WHO DeCoster is?? He is an American citizen, lives and has lived in America for decades, works in America, files taxes in America and is a legend in motocross. I am a big believer and supporter of Mitch, his products and the way he runs his team but Mitch is usually a big part of the team and I'm sure he is just fine with Roger managing the team.

What the fuck are you smoking, dickweed?

I have no information about the "unforeseen circumstances", but since it was put out there for speculation I'd tend to go with Occam's Razor. The possibility of one of the three having a practice crash seem more likley than some kind of political posturing or weird funding issue.

FTR, I certainly hope an injury is not the case.

I agree let Mitch run the Show.

Maybe Roger can come with some Ryan's over to Team Australia

Well the difference might be sending bikes and parts to another country. Not sure who pays for that, but if its on the team maybe they dont want to foot the bill. 2010 was in Colorado.
