That’s pretty much what this race is. Just another MXGP without the USA.

Yeah, pretty much, except without the championship. riders from both series, a completely different moto format, different qualifying format, combined classes, a team event as compared to an individual event, riders representing their countries, a different set of rules regarding starting positions, a dropped moto scoring rule and it only occurs once a year as compared to the 18 GPs.

but you are right, apart from those things its basically the sameWhistling

On a similar note, Japan should place better than they have in a long time thanks to Jo. Not sure who else Japan will send, but Jo's easily good for a top 5 in 250s.

I am a Shimoda fan, but to say he is "easily good for a top 5" is a stretch.
He is 8th in the national standings now. with 2 top 5 motos out of 8. So he is not easily good for a top 5 just against the AMA guys, let alone the with the guys from the GPs mixed in
And even dominant AMA guys have at times struggled at the MXdN at times in recent years.
But I hope he does go, and I hope he does get a good result for Japan, that would be really cool

Again? I'm just starting to feel embarrassed for the posters starting these threads.

Sipes, Pastrana and Ronnie Mac rode for Team Puerto Rico. If a government wants to it can grant citizenship overnight. Has nothing to do with where the rider was born. I thought Kenny and Marv were in the citizen ship process though.
US territory, so no need for granting citizenship.

Osborne and Alex Martin also rode for Puerto Rico in the past.

No one would be asking the question if they weren't winning the AMA series, some people seem desperate.

This makes me really question our educational system.
