Well he went 16-2 but that was back in 2013 on a 250.  More recently in 2018 and 2022 when he was arguably at the peak of his powers he's had one moto win at MXoN amongst a handful of 4/5/6 finishes.  Now he's coming back from two injuries with limited time to get in race condition.  Also his form in supercross this year was patchy with a bunch of 6-10 finishes mixed in with a few seconds and one win.

Now none of that is terrible but it certainly throws enough doubt that maybe Tomac today is not the Tomac of old.

You aren’t telling the full story on the 16th place (11 years ago). He was battling Ken for 2nd (on a 250) and yard sailed. And you...

You aren’t telling the full story on the 16th place (11 years ago). He was battling Ken for 2nd (on a 250) and yard sailed. 

And you just made my point. A “handful” of top 5 finishes vs barely top 20s

Yeah I don't think a result from 11 years ago on a 250 is relevant today. In any case it's clearly not a slam dunk to choose Tomac or they'd have already announced the team.

Having said that I tend to agree with you about AP; he's a distant third in a points and if Jett wasn't out he'd have barely made the podium this year. 

I still think Justin Cooper should be in the conversation more - in his rookie season he's only 22 points behind AP and has produced the goods at MXoN in the past.

If you don't think a result from 11 years ago is relevant why did you bring it up?

I'd put Cooper and Eli above AP for the MXDN if it was me

Want the best team? Pay them. $50k to make the team + Podium Bonus per rider. It's not a lot of money and probably equal to a normal SX payout but it's better than what they get now (I assume). Find a way to get the money and make it happen. That being said... 

Open - Anderson | MX1 - Sexton | MX2 - Deegan 

$25K for 3rd Place = $75k Payday per Rider

$50k for 2nd Place = $100k Payday per Rider

$100k for Win = $150k Payday per Rider

Why the fuck should the AMA pay when there is a promoter that hoards all the cash from this race and does not share one penny with their partners (riders/teams)....That's the problem with this race....everybody should be getting paid!

Does the Olympics pay the participating  countries travel fees, food, accommodations..etc. 

Then, on top of those expensives. Does the Olympics pay prize money. Im pretty sure they don't and shouldn't be expected too. 

I think of Des Nations as our Olympics. Prize money shouldn't be used as motivation.

Glad you brought that up...Yes the Olympics do pay for food and accommodations (Olympic village)...Many many corporate sponsors pay the way for olympians not to mention for most olympians the sponsors they have pay them specifically for the olympics....and yes gold medalists make just under $50k in prize money.....Tell me what In Front does for the racers again...other than exploit their patriotism for their own financial gain....and I'm a huge fan of MXDN and will continue to be so...only if the manufacturers would bond together like they did with WSX....things would change fast...

Tomac's sack has to be down to his ankles at this point. Injured all fvckn season, comes back, gets a 4th in one moto, says "I wanna ride the MXdN" and the Vital swingers can't help themselves...love this place. If for some reason he drops Sexton legitimately and makes the rest of the field look like fools with the super gey "Beast Mode" . vernacular people love to use here, then maybe he can shimmy his way on to the team, then when the anchor gets dropped at the race, we can read the laundry list of excuses. AP may not be the answer, but these spots should go to riders that have been there all year, not to a former glory rider who just comes back.

Tomac has been out for a good while, comes back at Budds on a bike he's never raced outdoors, qualifies P-4 and runs a straightaway behind AP for the ENTIRE first moto. I'd say Tomac is the pick for MXON. (Even though I personally want to see AP go.)  He's only going to improve in the next 6 weeks.

Provides a platform.  That what In Front does. Just like the Olympics. They both provide an opportunity to countries. The opportunity to to showcase their countries best riders. 

The Olympic Village.  Please!  Athletes aren't going for the free food and hotel. 

And I don't see Haiden Deegan doing a Rolex or a big banks commercial with Michael Phelps. I love our little sport, but, we have never and most likely never will be an appeal too big corporations.

Don M mad! the AMA decides who will ride for team USA, the AMA takes money from every racer at every race, and mechanics and anyone behind a starting gate. The Promoters pay the AMA for having a National at their track. The AMA sucks so many dollars from everything motorcycle in the US. So Yes I think the AMA should help pay the teams that THEY pick to represent our country. I have way more respect for any promoter that sticks their neck out to have races, and pay crazy fees for insurance and pay the AMA to have an AMA sanctioned race. I think it was reported somewhere (not sure where) but the AMA has HUGE amount of money in the bank.

Take a breath man you seem a bit upset. Some people just think Tomac would give team USA a better chance at the win than AP. It’s pretty simple.

And when there is an event in europe with how good those guys are, your only option is to send your best team, and our best team is Chase, Eli, Haiden, if we send plessinger and haiden doesn’t go, and we send hymas, we may be on the podium, but we won’t have a chance at winning i believe. It will be very interesting who we pick and how they will preform.

It's sorta like well, another way to call a cat a kitten
It's five little letters that are missin' here
You get it on occasion if the other party isn't gaming
It seems I gotta start the explainin'

The anonymous , blind faith is quite remarkable and equally puzzling. In another possible future thread, the same swingers will be on the what have you done lately side of the coin. Hey, i hope you swingers are right if Tomac accepts the nomination, be OK in my book to eat some crow

I say we tell the foreigners that if they want to become U.S. citizens, then they'll need to represent their new country at the MXoN Smile .

Then we get Chase and Jett, and Deegan!

With Kenny as our alternate (Unless he dominates Deegan at Ironman).

I'm just kidding of course, but after foreigners race here for a few years, I always forget that they aren't American and can't (maybe don't want to) represent us at the MXoN.

If they could ride for the US, wwould you want them too? Outside of a case like Wardy, I only want US born riders on our team 

Anyone who's an American citizen and is committed to the United States should be allowed to ride. That should matter more than being born there. Being born in America is entirely arbitrary and doesn't imply any particular commitment to the US.

Not on it's website that's for sure.

I agree with this.  Especially, in that MXDN is not an invention of Infront.  They've grabbed an already existing competition/concept and - if the claims are true - appear to be bleeding it dry.  An investigation by our team of top line moto 'journalists' into this whole situation would be good, but well...

Provides a platform.  That what In Front does. Just like the Olympics. They both provide an opportunity to countries. The opportunity to to showcase their countries best riders. 

The Olympic Village.  Please!  Athletes aren't going for the free food and hotel. 

And I don't see Haiden Deegan doing a Rolex or a big banks commercial with Michael Phelps. I love our little sport, but, we have never and most likely never will be an appeal too big corporations.

The IOC is a non-profit that pays out billions spread amongst the host city, international federations and national olympic committees. I don't think anyone would have a problem if Infront adopted the same model.

This conversation made me realize I don't know squat about how any of these organizations run. IOC, AMA, FIM, or OPP.

 

Same here.  If anyone does and can provide a short rundown that would be great.  I have neither the time nor inclination to look into it.

MX1 - Sexton - no brainer

MX2 - Deegan - obvious choice, but would not be scared to send Kitchen.

MX3 - Tomac - really only a gamble if you think he's not going to improve between now and Matterley

Lamson on a 125, Stanton on a 250 and Jeff Ward on the 500. This could be why im not the team manager.

If I were in charge, everybody would be so mad at me that they would quit crying about DeCoster.

For the love of god, please pick tomac. 

I would bet actual money AP will be the reason we lose if we send him. dude is riding great, but we know who he is at this race. 

Tomac is going to get better and better.
