Bummer for the fans and Team USA, but not entirely surprising.

Can't blame him. These dudes are in a meat-grinder 10 months out of the year.

I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't even field a team.

I miss the days when riders were not only honored to be chosen to ride the MXoN, but wanted to. Teams, as well as riders, need to focus back on the importance of this event.

I said this a few weeks ago on here. I think Andrew Short is doing better than Barcia and being that this is his last year he could be good. He is a great starter also!

Shame man, it's cool he's racing the gps, but I would trade both those, the MEC & the SMX race to see him do the mxdn.

I think we should cancel every series and have every rider concentrate on the mxdn.
