I enjoyed watching Paulin before. Hopefully we'll have some good racing!

Its a good team to be sure. Our US team is up in the air! If Tomac does not race then I would like to see (Short, Webb, Osborne)

I think those guys could all get along and have a good time. Shorty is coming on late and he is on bad suspension. Shorty is also a great starter! If he ran factory normal stuff he would do better. Zach is getting stronger also and he knows those MXGP guys. Webb? Will he is a bad ass so enough said there.
Short? Osborne? You're kidding right?

MXGP: Tomac

MX2: Webb

Open: Barcia

Unfortunately you need 3 riders to make a team

Wake up man! Tomac is not saying he will do it! If he won't do it then what? Force him to do it?


Barcia has not been fast all year. Something is wrong with him I would guess. Shorty is retiring and this is his last race. He would go out and give it his all!

Last time Tomac was on the Pulpmx show he said he would go. My pick would be Tomac, A Mart and Webb.

Maybe we just send team underdog: Bloss, Forkner and Stankdog!

Coop will do well for sure. Tomac also if he goes.

We have so many guys out hurt it is crazy right now. I would not be shocked to see a Shorty or Anderson or another person we are not talking about. I do know that is one very nice track!

It's good for everyone else that Marvin is not on the team. So as a non French guy I'm happy. Marvin last year in Moto 1 before his crash was the best I have ever seen someone ride at Ernee.

You think that Marvin getting absolutely gutted at Spring Creek and the shoug had something to do with it? He got tapped bad on those 2.

If they don't want Marvin we'll take him.

This should be our team. Barcia should be picked for the very same reason as Paulin. They both produce results at this race.

Hahaha. You telling him to "wake up", after you suggesting Short should go to MXON is just funny....
I have nothing against Short and I'm sure he'd give it his all, but he's retiring for a reason. Lol

Tomac
Savatgy/ J.Martin
Webb

That would be my guess... I threw Savatgy in there, because of Mitch's involvement in the team.

I dont beleive Osborne is eligible to ride for USA, even if he was a good pick. He raced for Costa Rica, as did A.Martin.

U must be fishing ... I really like Shorty, but I dont know if you watch the races ! Anderson is back soon, Barcia is riding much better than said in your post, Webb in 450 does great too, etc

Short with Puerto Rico, with Osborne, and Amart, yes, the top 3-top 5 overall is even possible, but team usa never comes to finish second or third.

What they "come for"and reality are two different things. Could be no smiling team USA faces on the podium this year.

Well why wouldn't you pick a two time world champion and 250 supercross champion to be on your team? Gotta be something else than mediocre results on a few races that comes into play here. Dry

True, I was just watching this race and wondering which rider would do the best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvL-M1s1m1U

About not smiling, of course it can happen, it can happen to any team and any team that have a legit chance for the win or the podium ; 1 team for instance that is always good or great depending on the year always seems to have crazy stuffs happening, is team UK. So unlucky these years that I hope they can finallly get that podium !!! I just checked on the youthsteam site, didnt they podium since ... 1994 or they did during the 1995-2005 period ?

Top 10 if he's lucky, really? Wow
The guy has raced 14 mxdn motos so far. Apart from the dnf in franciacorta in 09 where he crashed out after winning Moto 1 he has never finished outside the top 10 and has won at least 4 motos as far as I can remember.

Yeah and still he's been on the podium 3 times. That's as many times as Musquin despite missing a big part of the season due to injury. And he's been doing it in a field that is not thinned out by injuries
Musquin has a shitty record when it comes to MXdN, he have had realy bad results before. Paulin is the right choise IMO.

Roczen & Nagl are more than a match for anyone,but I doubt Roczen will go again

Even how good those 2 are they lack the 3rd team member that the US always have,Paulin is France's wrong move so I really can't see team USA losing again

Holland could have a good result, maybe a win if a little lucky aswell. With a healty 84, a good day from the 259, and also 189 have had good results lately. Maybe they can do what germany did in '12. Anythings possible Wink Cool would be pretty cool..

No doubt Paulin can and might step up, but he'd have to do just that, step up.

Their respective bests are very close, but GP's been nowhere near his best all year and Mushy has been killing it.

No your team should be Tomac, Webb and Amart. Amart is almost as good as Webb, basically a couple tip overs and a mechanical difference.

Barcia's been shithouse all year, not even pulling starts.
