Roger Decoster stepping down as USA team manager

The AMA Director of Pro Racing is who has the job. That person coordinates with the individual team managers to make it happen. If you want a spokesperson, familiar face, or whatever, then some ex-pro racers would be fine. But it's not necessary.  

Kinda weird to not do this AFTER the home MXdN no?

It's down right suspicious.   Roger probably won't say anything about it...class.

He will always be THE MAN to me.
