So, who are gonna represent the Netherlands?

Best team in my opinion would be:

Herlings MXGP

De Wolf MX2

The Hoff or vd Moosdijk MXOPEN

Sweet team.

KdW has to be on a 250, your 250 guy is the one who wins it for you, every time.

Agreed. I'd choose Herlings-De Wolf-Coldenhoff. Only issue is, De Wolf has to agree to ride a 250.

Just not too sure about Coldenhoff's current level. Brazil didn't help him speed- and racewise I'm afraid. They could hold a shootout between the Hoff and Vlaanderen for example.

Or select Herlings and De Wolf on 450s and choose between Karssemakers and Doensen for MX2. I reckon Smulders won't be considered by the federation.

But, as we know, Barry Forschelen has made weirder choices in the past.

Nobway Coldenhoff get's a chance. Wouod be a blow in the face of Karasemakers and Walwoort. Yeah the team would have a lot of experience, but Coldenhoff is not on the level he was two three aeasons ago.

Might be that the Dutch federation also looks who has the most points in the stronger sereias. MXGP and AmA are here the strong series compared to let's say a Brazilian championships where the 10th guy gets lapped 3 times by Hoff

When, What, who - he had it going in loket and before. 

Well I gues s the green 33 is gonne get th3 call, well it wouod be nice if he get's it. He has been almost the top privateer from race to race. He walwoort and mikula are the true Privateers of the class. Karssemakers deserves it. But luckily, i do not have to decide

Coldenhoff is down to ride at Arnhem at the weekend so we should get some indication of where his speed is.

Herlings and De Wolf on a 450 is locked. Pretty sure Yamaha got the call already to get a 250 ready for Glenn.

I think Coldenhoff is pretty start depended so to get one between the 450s will be hard. He could be someone who can put 1 good moto down tho.

With Karssemakers I think you could expect 2 ok results that would be anything but special. Also the bike isn't the most reliable one in the field.

Has this been confirmed? Seems a strange choice. I think Team GB’s best option would be Mewes MX1, Heyman MX2 & Watson in Open. Having Mustoe as the MX2 rider is odd, I can think of at least 3 riders who should have that ride over him. And Taylor Hammal? This must be a joke right?

Yep, Mewes, Heyman & Watson is the way to go surely. With all due respect to Hammel and Mustoe, they would be a dumb choice.

I don’t think Mewse wants to, and I don’t blame him. Hammal is our best pick in MXGP other than him and Watson obviously, Mustoe is more proven on an international scale than Heyman but I can definitely see the Heyman argument and I’m 50/50 on who I’d take out of the 2

Mustoe has the more outright pace but I can't get past that two years ago he was still racing club level stuff and isn't ready for GP level yet. 

Hayman I'm unsure of, Askew is a lovely lad but he's also been tipped to break-out for as long as I can remember and just hasn't done it yet. Taylor was excellent at Foxhills, surprised even himself I think. I still chuckle that he's 6ft plus when I raced with his dad who was even shorter than me and we both used blocks way before it was cool purely so we could balance! haha.

Could sneak a podium, but I think a top 5 is more likely. Great team

Morocco’s chances with Essaadi as manager are boosted 1000 %.  Intrigued to see the riders listed.

I think Ben is ready, he’s proved he has pace to run in the 12-16th range which with 10 factory riders is no mean feat.

Team Denmark 

MXGP: Mikkel Haarup

MX2: Nicolai Skovbjerg

I’d back them to beat their best score post 2000 of 10th, quietly strong team

I guess Sandner is close to retirement. Max Ernecker seems to stagnate, or does he suffer from injuries? Same for Stauffer, injured every year and most of the time nasty ones.

Podium? Nah, but they could become a steady top 10 team.

Why doesn’t Mewes want to ride for his country? Is it because he always bottles it on the world stage? If Heyman isn’t injured then I think it’s a disgrace that Mark Chamberlain hasn’t chosen the MX2 British Champion. 

MX1 in the UK is in a really bad place without Mewes, Watson & Gilbert. That class is so weak right now. 

I’ll being rooting for the guys come the event, I’m just hoping they can qualify straight to the A final.

I don’t understand the Julien Beaumer hype. 10, 6, 1, 5, 18 are his last 5 results. Kitchen should be our first choice. Hymas has finally started looking good and should be our second choice. Kitchen’s starts have definitely sucked, but Beaumer’s results haven’t been up to par for a MXDN selection.

Unless there’s an injury or some sort of disaster I don’t think there’s any debate about them making the main races straight away. I like that Mark has valued going and doing GPs to make the team but Heyman will probably feel hard done by

Reluctantly have to agree, but Gifting rides with his heart on his sleeve so is prone to a disaster from time to time. Callemo is a great rider, I think he’ll surprise a few people.
