With conditions as they are, it's not unreasonable to say that any one of these teams could win this.

Can NL still classify? With Vlaanderen’s DNS as scratch result? 41 points is possible in that case.

This is a nightmare for me as an American. I imagine it is a literal DISASTER for the Netherlands. Pace to win easily, it seems. And lady luck intervenes.

Tomac and Barcia has to do something legendary to turn this around. 1-2 even though they have both been off the pace.

But stranger things have happened. Red Bud would go mental if that would happen!

Hey, DC can you please require all 12 tracks to dump 1,000,000 pounds of sand on top of the dirt like this race so USA can fight for not going to the B final in 2019 Assen?

I hate that NED got dealt that shitty luck..

I'm so stoked for Evans though! He would have to be dealing with some pressure after all the Reed bullshit

Anyone done the math to see what things would look like if the classes were scored individually?

This.. Italy is flying under the radar.. TC could take 2nd or even a win, then lopino could make it just around 10-13 place and I Think they would win it..
Assuming there will be no miracle US victory then I would love to see Cairoli holding the Chamberlain Trophy

If the worst score is dropped and USA goes 1-2 they get 32 points. That will be enough to win it.

France sits with 17 now but they have to rely on Tixier. I think the winning team will be around 30 points.

As much as I would like France to win it, I think your prediction is the most logical.

- Desalle and Van Horebeek are usually very good in this conditions.
- Tomac and Barcia are able to put a great ride!
- Lupino performs best in this conditions.
- And I am very nervous at Tixier's bike. A pity as his 14th was giving us a good shot...
- Bummmed for team NL too, and hoping the injury is not too severe.

A lot of the outcome will come from the start.

If only Searle's bike held up and we got that 4th, we could of definitely had a shot at podium

That's exactly what I was wondering, They could easily go 1-2 in the final moto.

I’m told The Netherlands is DQ’ed because Valaanderen didn’t finish either of his 2 Motos, I’m looking for FIM guy to confirm.
