450 - Sexton.

Open - Eli, if he rides two solid, top-5 finishes at Ironman. 

250 - Hear me out: Levi Kitchen has been crushing it! He's won 3 of the last 5 motos and 3 of the last 4 overalls. Deegan has been up and down lately and could be suffering from a post-championship hangover. (We'll see this weekend if that's a thing for him.) 

Kitchen / Sexton / Tomac could be a world-beating team. 

Kitchens cool and all but we HAVE to send a champ if he can/will go.

Not just for us but the WORLD wants to see Deegan.

Chase and Deegan are non negotiables(barring injury).
I’m in the minority but I think we should send JCoop. Budds probably would’ve went really well without that early incident look at his past results there. And he should be rewarded for his heroics the last 2 times he was picked. He shattered all expectations both times he went and was a huge reason why our losing streak ended. AP was disappointing both times that he was on the team, that should count for something.

Eli has been inconsistent since the Achilles injury I think that’s too big of a risk.

1. Deegan - His ability to start, his speed and the chip on his shoulder will come in handy. 

2. Sexton - worldclass speed 

3a. Justin Cooper - incredible starts, and the hero of the 2022 Red Bud

3b. Arron Plessinger - He's got great speed now, Patriotic, and If it's a mudder he's the man.

Hymes 250

Deegan 450 open

Sexton 450 

 

Let Deegan do what Jett did and get some seat time on the 450.

1. Deegan 2. Sexton 3 Tomac

1a. Hymas                 3a. Jcoop

                                   3b. AP

Deegan goes if Tomac goes. I put JCoop in front of AP because JCoop can preform under pressure and come in clutch when we need him to. AP hasn't really shown us that he can come in clutch or preform when we need him to and he isn't the greatest mud rider, hes good, but I would think we would need him to be great.

Danger girl has the fans just hitting the downvote. Love it. Hopefully you’re outside of the US. Shows even how little your character is when it comes to our country.

My picks
MX1 – Sexton (seems obvious)

MX3 – AP (Tomac is the man, but AP has earned a spot this year)

I'm not going to agree with you, but that could be a legit take on Deegan.

Well that's a bit of a bummer. Sacha has the speed to run with the big dogs, he just needs to avoid the silly mistakes and keep it off the ground. 
Do you know if Lucas will be riding a 350 or 450?

Sexton and Tomac have the benefit of the experience from winning in 22. Deegan has the confidence. I think this is the ideal trio.

I can appreciate the Phil deal. The ferry deal. He may grab a top 30 start and get a mention because of his father. The other guy, I’d consider myself a huge fan and don’t believe I know of him.

Some info from the sml kickstart podcast, team usa may be chase, eli haiden, which is a dream team and one of the strongest in years, comparable to 2022 teamand on top of all that, there’s an mxgp round(mxgp is european pro mx) between supermotocross(smx) and motocross of nations(mxon) and if team usa is super super strong like chase, eli, haiden, that team may race that gp in spain.

Tomac doesn't deserve to go, AP has been in the grind all summer. No one else better to rep the red, white and blue IMO.

If Deegan is picked will he even go?

“Tomac doesn’t deserve to go” welcome to the sport my friend…. Hope you enjoyed watching your first outdoor National this past weekend.

Logical answer is 38-4-7 after 10 MX rounds. 

The things is there's no much upside with AP other than he's been killing the starts and being the best of the rest (after Chase & Hunter) in US MX. You know what you're getting, 5th place guy against Euros at best (He went 5-18 last year at MXDN) and that's the worst you'll get with Tomac imo. I would think Eli in 6 weeks will a better pick, therefor, put Eli in the Open class and let's go send it show the rest of the world Americans can still ride MX outside their borders!!!
