Current worldchampion and the no3 , Jonass and TK Olsen wont be competing at MXON ...

sucks to see good riders not racing MXON , but from federations points of view it makes sense

so thats 3 top riders from MXGP ... any more riders to follow and not race MXON ?

Russia going with Bobryshev ??

Offcourse team Russia wil race the MXDN. Because like any others sports in Russia it is funded by the government.

Bullshit, the race is either important or it is not. those federations , Riders and Teams need to step up.

For Gajser, Jonas, there’s no chance at a team victory, so it’s a very costly and futile endeavor. Maybe if Youthstream paid the teams/riders they would make the trip. Otherwise I don’t blame them. Although I want to see the best race the best. And Both of those guys are potential moto winners.

it's a simple concept, You take the best team you can, try your best and see what happens.

Your way of thinking would only have 3 Teams at this event.

So what was your feeling on Eli last year? Just asking if you had the same outlook or were fine with his decision not to race?

For most teams, it is a futile endeavour. Why do the others show up then?

Because they have the money to send a team.
Slovenia, Denmark, Latvia are very small MX countries.
When the federations can't find a big sponsor or financial help from a government, they simply can't afford to send a team.

correct, you think its cheap to send riders from NZ and Australia to Europe and American every year, but the federations do it anyway,

its a shame to see these European federations drop out

I get that, my point was that most haven't a chance a still send a team, knowing it is a total loss. Regardless, a real shame not to have a good rider missong.
