MXdN....can usa take top 5?

If Jlaw can keep it together he would get the job done.But that doesnt happen very much.Or you could always pick Barry Carsten.

What about the guy who is gonna finish second in the nats now. Short.

Yep.

Tedesco
Dungey
Short

Send the rookies and they would prob top 5 .

Top 5? Easily. Win...not so much. No Bubba, RV, Alessi or Grant. Not looking good.

Stewart
JLaw
Barica

just what i want, not what is gunna happen

It would be a disaster for team USA if they were not in the top 5. With all the talent they can choose between.
A lot of other country's can't even pick 3 pro riders so in my eyes top 5 should not be a problem. A podium must be possible as well.
A win ? Difficult but not impossible. France is sending a B-team, Belgium will probably be sending a B-team, Germany only has 2 top riders, South-Africa has a lot of injured riders. New-zeeland has the same problem. Australia looks strong tho...
A win is not impossible but it won't be as easy as last year or the year before.

reed

jk, lol. probably gonna be MX1 Tedesco, MX2 Dungey, MX3 Shorty


HEY!!!!

how about MX1 Tedesco or Short, MX2 Barcia, MX3 Dungey (on a 450)

that would be legit


if all our guys finish top 10 in each moto, then we have a good shot.. when USA went like 1-3, 1-2, 2-4 or whatever.. we killed everyone!! i think france was 1 point out from winning last year and ferry went 14-5 or something, villopoto went like 1-9 and bubba went 1-34

oops, completely forgot about Italy..

On paper Italy looks to be the favorite yes but i am not that sure.
Cairoli is good, but he even tho he is leading the MX1 world championships he does not look as strong as the previous years. He always starts bad and always has to work his way up to the front and he just looks less comfortable on the 450.
David Phillipaerts is not as strong as last year. Last year he was always fighting for podium places but this year he is often struggling in between P6 and P10.
And who has to ride the 250 ? Davide Guarneri ? He maybe is 4th in the current MX2 world championships standings but that mostly is because he is is very consistant. He always seems to finish and gather some points and therefor he is that high up.

I am not sure if that is enough to win the mx of nations.


btw Devindavis.. that looks like a great team and you are absolutely right. You don't need to win everything. If you can put in 5 top 10 places you have a very big chance of winning this event.

How about Zack Osbourne ? Is he a consideration now ?

K Dub is supposed to be riding a few nationals... I am pretty sure he can still ride a motor scooter well. (Not sure if he would even consider it?)

Definitely and interesting year!
