If this is true, Bravo to CC. Sincerely thank you from so many of us. To all the other riders and teams who couldn't commit to the race, any reasonable person can understand.

If it is RJ, AP, and CC I am happy we are going but CC is like a few weeks into riding with a bum elbow. Why did Deegan not want to go... I mean he was the one using the American thing to his advantage a few months ago. 

That bucket of worms has been opened and re-closed.  Lots of excuses from different directions but my own opinion is that Daddy Deegan didn't see an upside for Danger to be on a losing MXdN team.  Career tragectory to consider.

That's their decision.  They are in business to make money.  Cool.  How I feel about it is my decision.  He'll be ok.

So we've come full circle.  It took RD to get us in the game to begin with...and now has to pull a rabbit out of his hat again.  

Yep...I'm a nut hugger.  Sue me.Woohoo

We all know ET, Sexton, and Deegan would have been ideal but I ain't got anything bad to say about this team.  Give 'em heck boys.Cool

I was really hoping for Zacho I think he is a better option than CC.  Still props to CC for stepping up at least we are sending a team.

Its plausible he could be an alternate, but I haven't heard or seen that discussed thus far. I imagine most are relieved to just be able to finally have 3 active pro's to put on the entry list.

I imagine he'll be at the GNCC that weekend to race for his job.  At some point Yamaha is gonna want a return on the $500k they paid him to race GNCC.

It smacks of tampering to only have his riders on the team. Obviously no Kawasaki rider is allowed on the team by their employer as long as Decoster manages, who knows what else goes on. I'm not saying Decoster is guilty of anything beyond keeping Kawasaki riders off the team, but it is certainly not above reproach, and is a suspicious, bad look. With Chase and his dad wanting to go and Honda saying they would support his effort, it's weird what went on there too, given who his future boss is. Guess we will never know and it is really nobodies business but the parties involved.

Sexton to KTM; not enough bike testing to race comfortably. Same with Webb. Tomac probably just got on a bike this week from injury. Kawi won't send riders, so JA21, AC9 and Hammaker are all out. Honda has no USA riders except Hymas. Does anyone ride Suzuki still? GasGas has Barcia, but he doesn't have the speed right now.

Yes sir, haven't missed one since I started going in 2005... I'm no Tanel Leok, but it's a good run and this should be a great event.

I'm glad Team USA is going, and I'm glad they've picked riders that want to be there and I really hope that this never happens again... It is a better event with Team USA competing

Probably be closer to November before Tomac gets on the bike.

I'm a huge Zacho fan, but no way is he better than a healthy Christian Craig.  Craig is a better choice than all of the other fringe riders mentioned.  Outdoors he can be really good, top 5 more than 50% of the time in 2022...

The concern and I get it...  Is he going to be at full speed and 100% health by race day?  I guess we'll watch and see.

You're a stud dude.  DC had good things to say about you.

Couldn't agree more...every team, from every country is growing the sport by participating.

According to ML Sextons contract ran though mxdn so bike time wouldnt be an issue. Webb has been on the bike since he left ktm, but sounds like star didnt want to go.
You would think Barcia has more time and speed on the bike than Craig who has been out since Glendale sx?

We will never know the real reasons I guess. For all we know the riders could just be tired and not motivated after a shit ton of racing.

So many fun story lines we can have about this...  And still have reasonable expectations.  Wink

For example, RJ is undefeated in MX-2 going 1-1 in his only GP in 2017, beating Hunter Lawrence while doing it.

This team gives me Dodgeball vibes with Decoster being Patches O'Houlihan. A true underdog story.

Again, nobody cheered harder for Zach than me...  But today, Zach's not that speed.
