So please let's stop talking about how the MXoN has changed dates and moved back later.... as jemcee's graphic showed..... it hasn't
As an aside, could you give me an impression of the spectator turn out at Palembang? On other threads, there's the usual "no more than 3 men and a dog" estimations, but, as it has been before in Indo, there's a lot of undercover spectating stands, that looked to me to be quite packed. I can't get away this weekend to Semarang, so I gave a mate of mine my tickets and accommodation. I hope that my travel insurance coughs up soon for the flight (and other) costs, so I can put it to things later in the year.
- The first strike i got because i was young and foolish and didn't know how the things work around here.
- The second strike i got because i made brexit joke. It was really harmless general joke but fair square i guess.
Back to the topic - even DV12 had a remark on behalf of FFM behavior when selecting last years nomination. I am just spreading the message [don't shoot the messanger- just club him a little from time to time to establish dominance], kinda... Maybe trolling a bit but that's beside the point.
Good day sir.
There are some legit bois in EMX250 to choose from as his team mates but noone can be immediate TOP3 rider.
And interesting you mention 2004: Team USA didn't even show up that year because it was too late on the schedule even then and RC and Stew and friends were more focused on getting ready for SX.

Honestly, have you ever been able to talk with Luongo about the date of the MXDN ?
If yes, what did he answer ? Did you explain to him the Nationals calendaar cannot move anymore because of the NFL ?
Does he understand that a great MXDN must include the US riders (from any nationalities) ?
Many Thx

The MXON is like an all-star race for most riders. They appreciate the national pride aspects, but they also look at it as something of a one-off honor -- they will go a time or two or three but after awhile it's just not that appealing. Ask Villopoto, Dungey and Eli about that. They have to work and stay in shape for five extra weeks while their primary competition is resting and starting to get ready for the new season. It's a challenge to get the top guys and their teams interested year after year, as Roger has found out time and again.
Also, when we win, it's simply expected. When we lose the guys get buried by critics.
And again, don't completely discount the Monster Cup's role in this: RV, Marvin and Eli have all won $1 million paydays in a race that didn't exist when Carmichael and friends were racing. That potential pay day seriously affects interest in participating in the MXON.
I don't have any answers here, but I do wish the race were back to mid-September, because we are landlocked on our national dates.
