Guadagnini isn't too happy about the choice,  I can tell you that. And I don't blame him. You could argue about who's the best/fastest right now, either Cairoli or Guadagnini, but a fulltime factory GP-rider getting shunned over his semi-retired "teammate" wildcard rider (who's one of the living legends of the sport, don't get me wrong)... I wouldn't be too happy about that either. It definitely isn't a choice for the future.

And I get it, Guadagnini's latest result are mediocre and subpar the passed few weeks, but still... I guess Cairoli's name opens more doors for sponsors etc to pay for the trip to the USA. And a lot more media attention aswell.

Shouldn’t be upset with anyone about the selections but himself, it’s on him imo.

Forato still injured?

Forato just had a knee surgery, he hopes to be back beginning of the 2026 season.

I dont know from inside but i remenber that Oliver had hard crashes and maybe he isnt 100% plus Francisco Carbonero riding for Bud Racing makes things easier to have a bike in the states.

I think Connolly in MX2 given he did the last 3 AMA nationals, unsure on others, maybe Harwood, Natzke, or someone else I'm missing

Lewis got an actual confirmation of Prado's contractual issues at Kawasaki keeping him from the Spanish team. From the post race show: https://www.vitalmx.com/videos/features/vital-mx-post-race-show-2025-smx-preview at 1:13. Forgive the transcript youtube speech to text errors.

And actually on this Prado topic, we have something fairly concrete, if you want to call it that. Um, team Spain was announced this morning as Ruben Fernandez, GM Farz, and Francisco Garcia. And in the little statement, Paco Rico, the team manager, said, um, in addition to the lastm minute exit, of HE, who of course was on the team, but eventually wouldn't be able to be on the grid due to contractual issues with his current team. I think that tells you I think that tells you quite that's quite uh black and white about where we're at with the Kawasaki Prado situation. Um, yeah, I don't think we've had that much hard evidence so far. Um, so that tells you a lot.

Is this the first time Slovenia has sent a team to Nations when it has been held in the US?  Very cool.  Pancar has been really solid this year, don't know much about their 250 guy though?  I think they could they be a sneaky top 5 team if things go well.

Yes up until now they seemed to have had a policy of not going to US so it’s great they’re going this time as we get to see ‘Tim vs Jett - the re-match’ !

That sucks when they have Connolly and Purvis. I'm sure they will sort it out for when the Townley brothers can race it.

New Zealand have pulled out due to ''the absence of expressions of interest''.

I feel like this year would be one of the easier ones for team NZ. Davies and Connoly are both in America on teams. Struggle to find a 3rd rider?

Sad when the country the sport has its roots in can’t pull together a team.
