Imagine if Belgium stopped pretending that it was a real country and Flanders was part of the Netherlands. 

You'd have Herlings, Coenen brothers, De Wolf, Coldenhoff, Everts, Vlaanderen, Geerts, and many more riders eligible for the same team. They'd be unstoppable

Or the other way round? Netherlands stopped pretending to be a country! Ha. 


Just crazy how many champions were Belgians over the years. I mean for its size. Germany took decades to get a world champion.

I don't see the US on the podium. Simply put, we are lacking three healthy, on-form, top riders right now.

RJ is closer to deegan than deegan to Hunter or Jett….

So

RJ

Eli if healthy and up to speed by last race.  Otherwise J Coop if ready 

deegan 250 - pay your dues and show you are part of team USA…if not willing 250….Juju has earned it before Hymas

Sadly, I don't think RJ is an option because Husky’s going away. If he was only switching teams, they could probably work something out (i.e Chase at Honda), but as of Oct. 1, the team won’t exist anymore.  

Yea…I know…maybe extend Team RJ Husky for a few more days…or maybe put the Husky under the KTM tent if they have to….and it would be a big ask for a dark red bike to be available and to ask RJ to jump on it with min prep…but if anyone would take it on…it’s RJ.

^^^none of this will happen though…just wishful thinking..

Speaking of…..calling U.S. Citizen kick start Kenny!!!!  Mike P needs to talk to you…no..not a penalty or fine…pick up please..

Belgium is really a powerhouse nation for sporting, their football team is highly impressive given their size. In motocross though it's another level, they've produced a ridiculous amount of world champions for their size

Board is full of Americans that don't even look at the results of the GPs but even when Lucas Coenen shows up on a track he's never ridden, on a bike that isn't his, in a series he's never raced in and straight up beats Hunter the people on this board still don't consider that maybe Hunter and Jett are beatable. 

Not to mention them crowning Deegan the best 250 rider in the world when he never raced one outside of America and the MX2 class is much deeper when considering Sacha Coenen's results and comparing the gaps between positions. On top of that you can also make the case for 3 guys in MX2 being faster than Sacha

what position was Lucas in when he wadded up in the second moto?

Is Tomac even interested?  He has been six times.  He is retiring after SX next year.

I wouldn’t pick him. All due respect, but we’re set to get smacked this year as it is, and he’s not riding like his usual self with very little time to improve. I hope he takes the time to prep for SX anyway.

It’d be a disgrace to NOT send a team.

MX1 - Deegan

MX2 - Kitchen

MX3 - Webb (if Star will see him through the event, not sure with him going to Tedder)

Alternate - Barcia

I like how you’re willing to give Webb another shot at it. At this point, though, I think Marchbanks deserves a shot, but not sure if Kawi will fund it.

Baseball rules….3 strikes and your out. Deagan has had his 3 strikes to be the true patriotic American he tries to show on the podium. Move on ask the next true American.

Since Australia isn’t sending their winning bros they are still participating. But what if Australia doesn’t send anyone ?

What if the USA can’t find fast ,patriotic riders ? Would anyone be upset if both of these countries didn’t participate?

Australia will send a team regardless of if we have a podium chance or not, just like we have for the last 40 years. 

And I for one will still cheer on any team sent by Australia.  However, with the Lawrences out, and Webster unlikely to go with the amount of injuries he has been trying to ride through, the pickings are very slim.

Bold statement coming from a resident of a nation that was completely colonized.

USA. Put Deegan on a 250 or don't even invite him. 

Three months ago everyone was calling him the best 250 rider in the world. Turn down the invitation four years in a row, that's all you get. 

Not bad

Why do you think Donger will even show up? He's not gone three years in a row. Him and his dad Lips won't go unless they're paid and are very likely to win. Which I would argue shows how 'patriotic' they really are. 

USA baby🇺🇸🇺🇸 sh!t happens we live to fight another day “don't crash in the first turn😂” proud of the effort and grateful I was able to carry the flag on the podium!

Perfect reply.....
