What a shame if USA doesn't send Haiden. He's the highest scoring American 250 rider this year, he deserves to go.

He's earned it...  But deserves to go?  Only if he's fully committed.  Nobody deserves to represent the country that isn't all in.  And if any of this is true (I have no idea if it is), then I think someone that wants to go and is fully committed "deserves" it more.  I haven't been either a fan or non fan of Deegan, but he's been growing on me through this year.  If this is all BS and he hasn't said anything about not going, let's get him on the team.

But if they are having to beg him to go, I'll pass...

JMHO.

I was listening to the Vital MX Review show, not sure if I heard correctly but is there a problem between Chase and Deegan? If Chase goes Deegan doesn’t or something to that effect?

Sexton is more likely to choke than Haiden.

Who needs him? Barcia can still ride a 250F.

I know, I know...he hasn't been out there all season like the others...but...he is showing speed and more importantly MATURITY.  Add patience and racecraft to his speed and he's a dangerous man.  We need a dangerous man at MXdN.Wink

IMO I had hoped 1st choice would be Deegan, not for any of the flag waving ‘Murica stuff but wonder how much he could shake up the MXGP MX2 regulars.

2nd choice would be Forkner as he seems to be patiently building up race fitness - more importantly the wild crashes have not happened, just hope I haven’t jinxed him.

And this is from a Euro 🤷‍♂️

They discussed this last week on the VitalMX pod I believe, but it was Deegan only wants to go if Chase goes, i.e. only interested in going if they have the best chance to win.

Well we'd have a better shot no matter what if he went, pretty lame excuse if that's true.

Lol classic Deegan move, only show up if you’re more than likely to win, don’t show up if you’re not

Can’t wait to hear the excuses if he doesn’t go

Pastrana went as a rookie. A family you know considered it an honor and took it seriously.

That’s the weakest excuse there is.  Worse than a flat refusal.

Pretty sure RC took that line of thought at least once that I recall.

As a Deegan fan thatd be disappointing. You cant control cards your dealt, i.e. your "teammates", but doesnt mean you dont go and give it your all.

If his name was Danny Chandler he would show up and win every moto. That's what it takes to be one of the greats.

Wouldn't look good for the ROOKIE to be beat by a younger Lucas Coenen either.

Kawi is out for the MXoN correct? Thought they basically said they’ll never go. Maybe PC is different? If he has another solid round this week I would not mind that pick.

PC sent Jo last year, not sure why they didn’t send AC in 2019

I wonder if it was Kawi Japan who sent Jo and not PC?

Just something to consider- the Ernee track has hills so steep that you can’t really walk up them in dry conditions, and the track will either be subject to rain at the time or purposeful over watering by the organizers. 

french riders have a distinct advantage at this place, most of them have raced it at the club level sine they were on 85s  

im sure most of the mxon potential team riders for any country know that this will be a really difficult race, maybe that is why you don’t have guys standing up to volunteer.
