It's looking like team France are the favourites this year but Who's your money on for 2nd, 3rd . Germany could be strong with Roczen and Nagle but my money is on team GB Simpson,Anstie and Wilson ..

Belgium isn't too shabby either. Maybe not for the win without desalle but definitely with a podium shot

Belgium could do really well with Strijbos/Lieber/Van Horebeek. They might one of the few team (other than France) that might have a shot at winning...

Yes: Barcia, Martin and Webb (on the 450).

Surprised to see so much disrespect for this team in here. We need some luck but I wouldn't be surprised by a win, though we'd need some bad luck out of France. I think this team will be fast.

Our 3 guys are faster than the French favorites, I do not see them getting beat provided they don't experience the unexpected.

No Roczen for Team Germany this year (again).
He will have back surgery and will most likely not be fit until the MXoN starts.

That sucks big time for the german team and fans.

At least he has a good and understandable reason this time. Hope this helps him to get fully fit for SX

This year counted in Herlings has attended 3 mxdn races of possible 7 (his first one franciacorta 2009) if I remember correctly.
The guy sure is injured a lot.

7 years ?? he is 20 , so his first MXOn would be at 13 ...makes no sense. Herlings started in MX2 in 2010
Herlings did MXON in 2011 and 2012 to my knowledge , in 2013 he had shoulder injury just before MXON , in 2014 broke his femus and this year again injured ... MXON and Herlings arent a happy marriage

I count 7. He just turned 15 when he raced for the Netherlands the first time in 09. And he will be 21 by the time we head to ernee this year

to my knowledge he was selected in 2010 first , when he started racing in MX2 for the first year ... and youre right , Herlings is 21 at this years MXON ...but youre right , he missed a lot as result of injuries last years ..especially last 2 years ....

but thats part of MX , sometimes youre lucky and sometimes not ...

I'm still hoping for a fully fit herlings at an mxdn fighting against the big guys and the US guys

Surprised to see so much disrespect for this team in here. We need some luck but I wouldn't be surprised by a win, though we'd need some bad luck out of France. I think this team will be fast.

I dont see how you figure our team could be faster than the french. Marvin could very well take the 250f title this year beating webb/martin out and the other 2 are currently 1st/2nd in MX1 in the mxgp. Don't forget the race is also in france. I wouldn't put too much weight on team US taking this one.

Dean Wilson will be the open class rider for team GB.

Team Switzerland will be Valentin Guillod, Jeremy Seewer and Arnaud Tonus according to the MXGP Twitter page

Team Finland will be Valtteri Malin, Miro Sihvonen and Jere Haavisto. Not 100% sure on which classes they will ride. I think Malin will ride MX1, Sihvonen MX2 and Haavisto will probably ride a 250 in the open class.

Pretty proud that my team rider, 16 years old Jere Haavisto made the Finnish team! I even considered not going to see MXON this year, but now it's a must! The two other guys are Miro Sihvonen (16 yo) and Valtteri Malin (18 yo), so our team is total of 50 years old. Finnish Federation is giving these guys great chance. Harri Kullas has dual citizen so he decided to ride for Estonia.

Awesome to see these young guys get a chance on the biggest stage. Which class will Jere ride?
