somewhere around zero would be my guess
Does your boss call you, wake you up, make sure you're fed and showered, dress you, and then send a car for you to take you to work? I'd guess no.

I just think with Pourcells dominance, Stroupe being consistently faster and Barcia's go for broke style the long shot isn't as possible as 3rd in pts appears.
"Despite the best effort of lawyers, agents, and with letters from the AMA, Feld, CMA, CMRC, Monster, and Kawasaki, time ran out to get Dean Wilson to Dallas for this weekend's Supercross.
Apparently his pro contract didn't get done until very late in December (when he turned 18), which caused delays in his work visa. "
my mistake 2 1/2 months
As an employee, it is his job to show up for work.
As for his "being sent to another country," Dean is a Canadian citizen. He went to his home country.
Any required documentation and/or visas should have been completed well in advance of this by his management staff, lawyers and/or family.
As for Olympians, you can rest assured their support staff had it all worked out well in advance.
I've almost missed flights a bunch of times because the jackholes at Vancouver airport were f-ing me about so much and I had my girlfriend turned back there once.
Keep this in mind, Pourcel flies back and forth to France with little trouble, and you can bet Mitch and PC is not his travel agent.
His management handles the documentation if and when required
Pit Row
How could this be a Canadian issue. He's trying to go INTO the US. It's the US customs officials that must have found something in his paperwork that raised a red flag.
I know someone that was going to Indiana for a church retreat/training session and was denied entry into Detroit and banned from the US for 6 years.
Or, maybe, O.D.B.'s?
You have mediocre attendance, NO Canadian riders in the premier class, extra travel expenses, and now immigration issues could decide championship results?
I've traveled home through Toronto Pearson a fair bit, and it is a gauntlet. The Mounties started freaking one time when they asked me to power up my laptop at the checkpoint and the battery was dead, I was at secondary inspection for 30 minutes for that one.
Inside the airport where you go through US immigration you're technically on US soil. Like an embassy in a foreign country.
Those assholes are relentless. I was in line to go through customs and discovered I'd forgotten my briefcase. They almost arrested me for talking on a cell phone trying to arrange to have my briefcase shipped out to arrive at my destination.
No one is asking this.
I am willing to bet the fact is, no one was working on shit until this happened this week, because if there was any question he never should have been asked/told/allowed to go race the Canada round.
His agent/manager dropped the fucking ball on this and if I were Wilson, would be shopping for new (competent and prepared) representation ASAP.
SoCal has all the MX racers we will ever need in this country anyway.
