If Searle can get back to full fitness in time that's not actually a bad team at all! Got to be in with a legitimate shout of a podium this year.

I like it this way. Searle was very impressive when he rode the mx2 class, Wilson have been good the times he's been on the big bike. If Simpson can motivate them to fight for 2 motos they will podium.

Looks like we could do okay.

Good team, wish Anstie wasn't so up and down this year, he'd of been a great mx2 rider.

Thats cracking, Simpson is on fire , and Searle will get to ride the CLS 250, and im guessing Wilson will maybe run the CLS 450 that Tommy has been on.

i think he's missed out because of the bike to be honest- he's had so many mechanical dnfs this year it would be a big risk to take him. Shame because he was on fire at lommel! all 3 of our riders can podium their class so we have a great chance this year

yes, i agree, but when you think they picked him over Simpson for the nations at Lommel, its a nice problem to have.

Not picking Anstie on a sandy track is weird, I would say...

Anstie's bike is more than likely the reason he hasn't been picked. I think it's a team capable of a podium.

It's not a Lommel,I can see the logic in not picking Max,shame as he nailed a win but he's been so hit and miss this year.

Good team for us,Simpson's going really well too

Solid team. I can understand picking Tommy, he's proved himself at MXdN's. Max has had too many ups and downs. If it was deep sand then pick him but Kegums is not proper euro sand.
Surprised they switch Deano and Searle 250/450 but Tommy rides a 250f well as does Wilson on a 450.

Leon ‏@twigsta44 44m
@JakeNicholls45 what are your thoughts on TS and DW swapping classes?! Seems a bit odd....

Tommy searle ‏@tommysearle100 18m
@twigsta44 @JakeNicholls45 is cos to get deans 250 here is too expensive and he can ride a factory 450 but not a cls 250 is a bit strange

No Anstie?? That could prove to be a big mistake. Pretty cool to see Wilson riding for us though, this is his first time with the nation, right?

it's indeed strange Wilson can't get a factory 250 from cls ....

so Searle can get a 250 factory?

No he rode for GB in 2010 at Thunder Valley and again in 2011 at St Jean d'Angely.

I think it's a pretty smart move not just because of the financial benefits. Tommy gets to ride the 250 which he had one of his best years on and hopefully bring back his confidence, and Deano gets a factory krt 450 (tommy has been struggling to get cls450 set up but krt seem to have it dailed in by their results so should be a better bike).

I was going to say I think the 250f available to Tommy would be a better bike than a euro PC 250f bike for Dean (as CLS and PC abruptly parted ways last season!).

In Colorado he went 8/6 and in France he went 9/27 but was still recovering from a broken(?) wrist.

Let's hope he rides similar if not superior to his Colorado results then!
