He's been a good manager for the last...40 years?

With all the online bullshit about wrong rider choices, X would be a much better choice than Y, etc....does he take his ball and go home, so does he suck it up and take the USA to 2 in a row next year?

No, he'll be back.

The race next year in France will be a challenge, and everyone (except possibly Eli and obviously anyone injured) will be there, along with the Man.

Yes, Ernee has been confirmed for 2023. I also heard it's likely the race will be in France in 2026 as well.

I'm going to guess that means USA in 2025 or 2027.

Italy in either 2024 or 2025.

Educated guessing here.

As much as I love Redbud, I really hope it's not there again. Spring Creek would be pretty sweet I think.
Anywhere but Pala.

"As much as I love Redbud, I really hope it's not there again" funny you'd say that. A buddy of mine and I had the exact same conversation at lunch. Ironman, Hangtown or Budds Creek but please not Red Bud again for a while.

I'd like to see it at Thunder Valley, but do they have the infrastructure and parking to make it happen?

Oh and yeah, we'll be at Ernee next year.

I think a track that doesn’t have a National would be cool. Rain in the south is very rare in the fall. It’s also usually 75-80 degrees with no humidity.

Roger has assisted Team USA in winning 23 MXoN’s with his involvement. That is the most wins of any country in the history of the event. Like the riders he does it for free for the love of the event. All the way nobody has stepped up and said “I am willing to do more”. If you think you can do better throw your hat in the ring. Caveat. You have to beat Roger on a 100 mile bicycle ride. He’s 78 and most of you don’t stand a chance.

You're not wrong about the biking part. I have friends who are avid and very fit cyclists (and a lot younger than 78). They've tried to keep up with Roger at Dungey's annual St. Judes bike ride, and he drops them like child's play!

I'd love to see Roger be team manager as long as he's alive!!!
Sure there are other guys that could do it. Could they do it better?
Hell No! Could they do it and win? For sure, but who can actually say
we didn't win a particular year because of something Roger did?
And what would that have been and when? I've said it before,
The first thing someone should do is ask RC4, when you rode
MXDN under Roger, what would you have changed? If he says
nothing, then there's your answer. If he thinks things could have
been run better (I doubt he does) then you ask what and why.

Hope so.

Been plenty of management blunders the last few years as his mind has slipped….inside gates left open, our guys starting with dirty tires while the euros had clean fresh ones, 250 guys forced to take the outside gate so one of Rogers golden boys could have the inside…I’m sure the list goes on….

The dude is 78 years old….how many 78 year olds do y’all know that are still operating at 100% capacity?

Dudes a relic that is living off a management career where he won with riders that woulda won anyway.

Sorry, not sorry.

It's pretty close to Paris, about 300km (200 miles for you Americans..). Hope they can run the race early in September, the weather should be nice then....

I hope for some other countries/venues instead of USA / France / Italy / UK every other year.

As in: I hope Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan,... get the opportunity aswell if they can/want to organize it.

Nah, man...my feelings don't get hurt, especially by some keyboard troll like you. You like to stir the shit, and that's fine...I just find it sad that you have to dig so deep as to beat RD up for his age. Thats some seriously weak shit. I doubt you have the skills to accomplish a 100th of what DeCoster has in his lifetime.

I really thought calling you an idiot summed it up perfectly.

If the former national tracks Gatorback or Lake Sugartree are still racing, they're both far enough South to be good weather in September.

Of all the former National tracks, I liked Broome-Tioga the best. Hard to hold onto the bike for 35 minutes of hard charging there, and rocks everywhere.
