The fact that Star is trying to strongarm the picks is what irks me. Since when did our guys become such puppets? I hope we send the team star wants because they're gonna win and then they get their asses handed to them. Will be a hell of a crow platter for all you people bitching about a prophesy that Tomac is going to improve and end up better than Plessinger. He's raced two outdoor races in almost two years, and Plessinger has bested him in both....give me a break. I recall a few years ago Tomac was known as the choke artist. My how times change and memories forget. Screw Star. Plessinger deserves the spot whether star keeps deegan from going because they're butthurt or not...Period.

How many outdoor tittles does AP have compared to Tomac ? 
Exactly what you said Tomac is coming back from 2 years of out of out doors and is nearly at Ap’s speed after just a few weeks

If its true that they are, then yeah iit's total bullshit. Wonder how it's going to go over with Decoster. I can't see him being a guy who is cool with being extorted

What is your point? The season is over The second best guy as of NOW is AP. There's absolutely no argument about that. Did Tomac win a title last year remind me if so....

So 2-2 is more disappointing than 4-3? Interesting thought process....

Tomac isn’t some bum trying to validate himself by being on the team. If he says he is ready and wants to go, end of story. Send him.

Uh, 2022? It’s extremely relevant. Same reason why AP’s 18th without a crash last year is relevant

I’d be pissed at Star for holding me to ransom over which riders I pick.

Mxon isn’t tomorrow is it? It weeks away and I’d put a million dollars on it by then Tomac would be back to leaving AP for dead

Tomac has competed in 4 nations events and has been the clear best US rider in the first 3 and went 1-6 in 2022. Pretty much cruised in the second moto. AP has had 1 good MXON moto and underperformed in the other 3.

This is a good problem to have. You can go with  a legend who is motivated to go after not racing motocross in 2 years or you could go for a guy riding the best he ever has and wants to redeem himself in the worst way for the USA.

I think that the worst part in all this is if whoever gets picked underperforms, they’ll catch shit. Which sucks.

I think I take what is happening currently on the track a little more seriously than others. 

Also, things change…which is also proven out on the track. 

AP was so good today....

APs was last year. He went 5-23. Coming off a 3rd in the series, 8 points behind Ferrandis for 2nd. Dudes gonna screw us. The same people saying he needs to go because he’s captain America are the same people that say Malcolm deserves a ride because he’s popular.

Couldn’t agree more. Yeah AP rode amazing today but I just can’t trust the guy.   Today was the only day he’s made a meaningful pass I can remember.   Eli is just getting the engines going. (BUT) this is a good problem to have as a country

It Is going to rain in October in Winchester, UK, and last I knew AP was a premier mud rider. 
I watched him up close win the San Diego Supercoss this year in the mud. 

Maybe I missed something - did the AMA already decide who is going just after the end of today’s racing?

 

AP vs Tomac, who's beaten who more in mud races? I haven't got the statistics, but I'm going to bet Tomac comes out on top more often.

I never understood why Tomac doesnt get much credit for his mud riding, he has won a lot of them
