I think we would have heard something by now if he was 

Didn't pit bits say his race bike was going back to Cali?

With an off weekend I'm eager to know too. Same goes for JCoop, Malcolm, Barcia....I can't even remember what injury Forkner has.

Hopefully all the 450 guys are back for Southwick because the Coenen brothers will be there.

The number three machine was sitting on the rear door of the Red Bull KTM trailer all weekend. Prepped, on display, and sadly...we saw the team load Tomac's machine in a van at the end of Saturday. It's destination? The team's shop in Southern California. A little reminder we won't be seeing Eli anytime soon, otherwise the bike wouldn't be heading the opposite direction of the semi. When do we see him next? Final three rounds of Pro Motocross, maybe? Or potentially we don't see Eli until SMX Playoffs

No but his race bike would have been going east after Thunder Valley.

JCoop is back. I'm pumped for it. He rips at Red Bud. Podium! Stamp it

Barcia posted a video of himself riding at MTF the other day, so he's back on the bike, but he didn't say if he's racing this weekend or not.

If it’s Deegan, AP/RJ and Seth/Levi, I think we’ll do alright, but if Everts keeps the wheels on the ground, I think Belgium is going to be hard to beat no matter who we send.

France will be tough to beat at home too - they can choose from Febvre, Reneaux, Vialle and Valin.

Also the Netherlands could be strong with Herlings, de Wolf and Karssemakers, with Vlanderran as a backup.

Sounds like Vlaanderen may represent South Africa this year.

I have to admit I haven't tracked closely how SA has done over the years but it seems like that is the best team you've had for a while?

Eli's injury was a 6-8 week injury recovery at best. He may race the last round, but quite possibly not until SMX.
