What? The Coenens are very talented, but it would be very surprising to see Sasha finish inside the top 8, between crashes and fading late in the motos. Everts has not seemed right the second half of the year IMO if its not a mud race. Excited to see what Lucas can do on a 450 though

I think he could get a 7th somewhere as best case, and one throw away.
If Sacha gets a good start in MX2/Open it's absolutely feasible with the riders in those classes.
Renaux, Hunter, AP, Everts, Fernandez, Coldenhoff should beat him but also not unlikely one of them get a really poor start and Sacha is top 3-5.
There are still some rider who can steal positions from teams that don't have the best chances.
Gajser, Ansti, McLellan, Horgmo, Adamo (btw, is danmark sending a team?)
Denmark is sending.
Point is, in the open/250 there isn't that much competition for Sasha. Gajser will most likely run MXGP and prove himself against the best.
I think France, The Netherlands, Australia and USA battle it out for the win and podium. Those 4 I think will be the top 4 in any order, I have France as the slight favourites but not by much.
Belgium, Italy, Germany could get themselves in there but I put those teams just a tick behind the Top 4.
Team GB are a total wildcard, if they all ride to their maximum potential then they could produce a special result, but I think more likely in the 6–10 range
1. France
2. Netherlands
3. USA/AUS
It’s a solid track for our guys but all bets are off if the rain comes. I think a podium is realistic but far from a guarantee.
Edit: I have no idea where we end up with Webb joining the team and with how the #7 has been riding lately. Full credit to Webb for stepping up though because he’s up against it for sure. A top five overall may not be a bad day for us this year.
I’ll be cheering for USA but it’s hard to bet against the Netherlands. Beligium has a strong team, but Everys and Lucas will be new to the bigger bikes. France is always good as well.
I do think USA has a good chance to pull off a win, and definitely be on the podium.
The top 4-5 teams are close enough it will just come down to starts. Whoever gets the best starts will win.
1) Canada
2) Australia
3) USA
4) France
5) Netherlands

Canadian? 😂
Seriously though I hope the have some luck this year, it’s a good team.
Pit Row
USA suprises everyone with the victory. Lets go team USA
Revisiting with the team changes... These are the top 4.
FRA goes as Renaux goes. If he's finding his groove, they are a pretty clear favorite. Recent results though, he's not back to form yet...
NED goes as Coldenhoff goes. Looking better than Renaux at the moment...
AUS goes as Webster goes. P8 at Red Bud wasn't bad, can he adapt to the 250?
USA goes as Plessinger goes. AMA outdoor speed? Pretty good, if he brings that consistency. If it's SMX performance? Trouble.
Honorable mention.
BEL goes as their youth goes. Stay on the bike, they could podium... Continue their trend for crashes, they struggle.
Interesting that I see the MX3 rider being the key more than the MX2 rider for most of these teams.
I like Renaux to find his pace and FRA sneaks past NED for the win and USA just edges AUS for the podium as Webster doesn't get the score needed by just a couple places even though Hunter and Jett do well.
Jett inches past Chase for the MX1 win with 3-1 to Chases 1-4 with Gajser, Febvre and Herlings all in the mix. Hunter gets past Renaux in another tight race for MX3 and Coldenhoff right behind them. Vialle gets it done in 250 again and he's why FRA wins the overall.
FRA - NED - USA - AUS - BEL
Always the best MX event of the year!!
So Jett wins MXGP, Hunter wins MX3 but somehow USA edges out AUS for third? That would require relatively great rides from AP and Webb and a disastrous result from Webster.
Apparently Herlings is riding with cracked ribs so not sure how that affects NED.
Chase will have his work cut out for him taking a moto win with his starts against Jett, Febvre, Herlings, Prado, Gasjer, Seeuwer etc.
Agree that France is the favourite but I have Aus and Ned mixing it up with them for top three, and maybe USA if lots of results fall their way.
Yeah, Webster on a 250 will put up 15-17ish motos in my opinion. I don’t think he’ll get it done. The MX3 class depth is similar to AMA 450 top 10 and at least 6 or 7 250 guys have him covered. Again, just my opinion.
France
Australia
Netherlands
USA
Belgium
I would have put Belgium ahead of the US if Everts was racing . Geerts is a question mark with the problems he's had lately . 4th is pretty optimistic for our team I think but I'm sticking with it .
Sexton has to win for us to have a shot at a podium. Don't have much faith in AP or Webb and I hope I’m wrong on that. Webb needs a redemption after crashing away the 2016 victory.
France is too strong and Vialle ripped on that track when in MX2. Finally an all Dutch team for second with DeWolf doing some heavy lifting and USA/AUS battling for third with a edge to Australia.
If it rains, USA gets slaughtered.
I think some of my fellow Americans are a little too pessimistic here, lol. Lets assume France, Australia, NED and the USA are the teams with a really solid shot at winning.
If the track is dry, I think the US has about as good a chance as anyone. I think Sexton is as fast or faster than Febvre and Herlings (especially since he is a little banged up), Jett might be a spot faster than Chase as he usually is. Febvre can be really fast at this event, so would not be surprised if he finished top 2 or 3.
AP is a bit of wildcard for me. He pulled a 5th last year overall in Moto 1, then laid an egg. But Renaux has not been that consistent since coming back, so who knows? Hunter probably finishes a spot or three higher than AP, but I do think AP is faster than Coldenhoff. Coldenhoff has come up clutch before, also had some bad weekends at MXON.
Vialle and De Wolf are probably pretty similar and should finish higher than Cooper Webb, Webb should finish quite a bit higher than Webster though. I have a hunch Webster kills AUS chances of winning unless Hunter and Jett absolutely crush it in both motos which is possible.
Spain, Belgium and Germany could the be the surprise podium teams for me if things break their way.
1 - France
2 - Netherlands
3 - Australia
First I heard Herlings has cracked ribs?
This is what makes this event the best thing in motocross . You just never know and you can pretty much expect the unexpected.

Tomac is in! USA will win!
