I thought Christina Denney, Mike Pelletier and Decoster picked the team?

Id send Tomac, Webb and AP and Im an aussie

Shame if Chase cant go seems like a good guy and tells it like it is

Thte talk of not going at all is bullshit. Send Nicoletti,, Weltin and Schwartz if you have to, anyone willing to go. Not turning up is nothing short of poor sportsmanship.

Nicoletti would probably go and wouldn’t even be a bad choice, the guy nails starts and was consistently a top 10 guy.

I can hear the ”fuuuuck” from Phil in my head when he sees that Decoster is calling and he realize that his retirement just became postponed

That’s hilarious 

Unfortunately not hilarious but probably true. Hopefully we send a team but there were rumblings of not going when Chance got hurt. How about let’s talk about the fact we will never send our best three guys ever again. Even if the teams got their heads outta their asses and cooperated and supported the event (highly unlikely) what are the chances all the guys make it through SMX healthy and able?  We get these three janky overrated races but will never send our best to MXDN ever again. Awesome

If the USA doesnt come, they should never host the race again. 

More riders than all the other countries put together, with more factory teams than any other country.

He was willing to throw his name in the hat before he raced the final 5 rounds, what makes you think he wouldn’t be in after doing well in those same rounds?

My thinking was it just seems to be a big ask with such little time, but I’d love to see him do it so I will happily be wrong and it seems I am.

Was Tomac not the reserve rider anyways? 

Tomac will step up.

Lewis tweeted that Decoster told him that USA wont go if Tomac doesn't replace Sexton.

Horseshit mentality. Decoster needs to go.

I love the idea that everything good that happens to des Nations USA is entirely because of Decoster, and anything bad he had nothing to do with. The mania surrounding Decoster borders Taylor Swift fandom.

For the last 40 years, DeCoster has been the driving force for the US to compete in des Nations, the teams and the AMA aren't interested.

Why is there a 2-page thread about this? Tomac will be asked and he will accept.

What happens if they can afford to send 2 bikes but not 3?

LMFAO!

3 patriots will line up and give it their all. Just like the Glory Days.

His hand must've gotten smashed... Looks like his shoulder took a big hit from Barcia's sub-frame and rear wheel. Then a boot to the head. 

Anyone have any better/ clearer photos of the actual impact?

I really doubt Tomac would be willing to go with less than two weeks notice 

I actually think he would. I think he has regrets not going all those years during his prime and wishes he would have. So he would...

I think Tomac wants as many gate drops as he can get before A1.

This is my thought now, Deegan still needs to get his plate sorted so just send JCoop on the 250 and let Webb ride open and swap Tomac for Pless in 450.  

They asked JCoop before Webb and he said no.

Steve said on Pulp that it’s a possibility and that was from talking to someone directly involved.

Thanks. I just saw DeCoster’s statement. The thought seemed ludicrous to me at first, but I forgot about the logistical challenges.

Amazing after that hit neither went down.

Between motos It looked like the mechanic was just finishing up putting a new set of handlebars on so the hit was bed enough to bend the bars .

Rotten luck for sexton.  Dude has been on it.  Didn't even make it two turns into the final race.  He must have been pretty hurt.  He didn't even attempt to keep riding with a million on the line.  Pulled off immediately.  Sucks.

It looked like we were gonna have a hell of a team this year. The wheels really came off.

The dude has a fractured collarbone. I think he made the correct choice.

No it will not be healed in 2 weeks.
