I'll update the list whenever a team is announced.
Most of the Latin American nations who participated last year in the USA probably won't make the trip to France this year, but I've added them for now. They can be deleted when due course.

If Spain pick Prado, Fernandez & Farres, that’s one hell of a strong team.
Not looking good for USA…between injuries and switching teams….I can’t think of many riders willing to go…Deegan for USA pride?
Let's say Barcia gets asked for team USA (if he keeps doing well), wouldn't he be allowed to use the MXGP Frame that is supposed to fix a lot of their issues?
Yes, a few years ago Anderson and Zach spent time testing all the MXGP frames leading up to the MXDN but opted to stay on their original US setups….Now as far as Barcia being selected on the team…come on man…

If he keeps hovering around the top 5-7, he might be an option. Good starter, won't cheat you for effort. USA might not have the luxury of choice the way it's going.
Was bummed J Coop got hurt. He looked good opening round and then seeing AP7 go down again as he came back looking fresh. No clue who to pick on the 250 side. I guess get a dart board and make your picks lol.
Hymas could be a decent pick, if he keeps going like he is, and Beaumer would be a solid pick too. Plus his dad is French, so maybe he gels well there?
JCoop will be back at Unadilla and would probably be the best pick with Deegan….don’t know what to think with 250’s….at this point none of them can put together 2 consistent moto’s.
With the race being in Ernee and France having Febvre, Valin and Renaux to chose, I don't see how they could lose.
If Deegan gets invited, and he doesn't turn it down for the fourth consecutive year, make him ride the 250.
Three months ago, our learned moto journalists were calling him the best 250 rider in the world.
This time last year people were giving Prado shit saying how he was poor because he couldn’t even beat Marchbanks. This year, Marchbanks is the third best American rider in the 450 class
So what’s your point 🤷🏼♂️
Don't forget Vialle.....or Spain, or Belgium.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dood u killing me with the cringe lord and American pride
team Australia will proudly run the # 1,2,3. plates.............enjoy it lads.
That using Marchbanks as proof Prado wasn’t good aged pretty badly.
Aus team this year: Maybe Webster, Beaton, then Minear on the small bore?
Crawford and Tanti are also riding awesome locally. Aus should still do fairly well, maybe top 3 if things go the right way..
I like Deegan - JCoop and Juju at this point.
I do think Kitchen is finding his rhythm a bit, but Kawi and his starts tell me no...
If JCoop isn't back to himself, RJ is going to give everything he's got and he's not far behind Prado at this point.
Belgium is going to be a threat too. Coenen - Everts - Coenen is a strong team. If you don't like Everts on a 450, you have Geerts on the Beta putting in top 10's.

Can anyone explain to me why Mike Pelletier is managing team USA? Just seems like such an odd choice to me.
No way Renuax is getting picked over Vialle.
I believe all of the teams use their country's sanctioning body's equivalent of the director of racing. I personally think that if it has to be an AMA dude, it should be J-Bone.
Deegan Juju and Hymas or kitchen would be pretty funny. If RJ is out and tomac doesn't improve I think at least 2 of them are picked
Team Netherlands:
Herlings
De Wolf
Eggens (125 KTM 2stroke) 48y old and known as the Dutch Carmichael https://youtu.be/r8m4ytAjvgo?si=hoyI-NF2EcrQNst-
Team France will probably be Febvre, Vialle and Valin...
Everts showed last year in Ironman that he can ride a 450.
Can he be bailed our of jail for the race in time? I heard it is quite a JUMBO ammount of money.
*sarcasm alert - i know Erik wasn't on trial - but you didn't write first name*
Don't forget Cannon on the 250!
I've heard/read somewhere that Calvin Vlaanderen shows interest to race under the South African flag again. Seems logical, as he was born there. He would make a great combo with Camden McLellan, who had to bear the weight of the team on his own the passed years. And with Tristan Purdon, who has experience in the MXGB-scene, they could even do very well. Don't know if this rumour is true, though.
Netherlands has plenty of options to replace Vlaanderen, with Van de Moosdijk or Coldenhoff. If they don't want to put De Wolf on a 250 they could select Karssemakers for the MX2 bike aswell.
Calvin Vlaanderen said he is ''open'' to race for SA but not sure if the SA federation are open to it themselves given the massive fall out they had earlier in his career. But I agree it would make quite a strong team.
Imagine a team South Africa with Calvin, Camden and Webster (South Africa born). For team NL I’d go Herlings, Karssemakers and De Wolf (assuming Calvin is riding for RSA)
