If they couldn’t make it happen with Number 1 in the ballot 3 times, I struggle to see what they can do with a new manager tbh
Webster is out (shoulder surgery I think?). 250 spot would probably be between Cannon and Minnear. No idea who would be on the running for the other 450 spot now that Webster is out.
Yes, right now. But at the beginning of the season his results weren't too great either. I feel he was better last year.
You don’t have to reply to everything. Americans want to win. Give it a rest, please.

Beaton has confirmed he's in, but with Webster out, my guess is it's up to between Tanti and Crawford for the other 450 spot. Tanti being Beaton's team mate probably gives him the nod.
For the 250 Minnear would make an all Yami team, but we know the issues with Star supplying bikes, and Cannon is based in France, so i think that makes him the more likely choice. Will be interesting.
Is Crawford still identifying as a Kiwi or is he Aussie again? Genuine question. And is NZ even sending a team?
I think Tanti would be the better pick speed wise and for logistical reasons. I also think Minear would be the better choice, only if Dacka can supply him a bike. Although if Deegan and/or jcoop are going for USA, maybe he can squeeze in his bike too
Fair question on Crawford; he's already repped NZ i think.
I believe that was the plan last year, before he got injured.

I would consider Alex Larwood as well. He rode exceptional at Unadilla so shows he wasn't fazed by the big occasion. Jake Cannon being in France would have to be the favourite for the nod though. He's riding well, knows the tracks and terrain.
Valin sits out the rest of the GP's but hopes to return at the Nations. Seems risky with 0 rythm.
AMart is racing the vmxdn , he just race 3 a classes at Millville to get ready.
The other option would be Grau... who is excetionally good on hard pack this year but i would still pick Valin even with 0 GPs in last 2 months under his belt.
100% agree with you on this one.
Perhaps Febvre-Vialle-Renaux with Vialle on the 250? Renaux has been subpar lately, but a better choice as an unfit Valin imo.
CPR : "For the 250 Minnear would make an all Yami team, but we know the issues with Star supplying bikes, and Cannon is based in France, so I think that makes him the more likely choice."
With the whole 'Megabucks required to get a Star Yamaha for MXdN', I think it would have to be Cannon - French Team, he's doing pretty well, races in Europe. And, would Star release him to ride a CDR Yamaha - or would CDR be in a position / want to provide him a bike? But, MA could really ef things up, and not consider Cannon or Minear. Of course, both would have had to put themselves forward for consideration.
Grau is undoubtedly a superb rider, but his bike has given up on him a few times when he’s been in strong positions (Portugal), he’d be my pick without Valin though
If healthy, Renaux has already said he would be OK to ride the 250.
Pit Row
Oh! Then its Tanti, Beaton and Canon for sure
But Belgie is winning this year so.... whatever.
haha =P
A month ago I would have said Belgium are favourites. Now I’d say maybe, but I’d put France and perhaps Spain equal with Belgium. Probably Netherlands a bit behind.
Valentin Guillod confirmed in MXGP-class for Switzerland.
The rumour is garrett marchbanks is out for being picked for the team!
Boom!
Honestly, I feel like Spain has to be the favorite, no? France and NL need 250 riders, Belgium needs consistency and a healthy Lucas. US may be sending a B team...
The more I read about the MXdN, the more pissed off I become about Star Yamaha. They have to be one of the more financially stable teams in the U.S.A, yet they cannot afford to send a couple of guys to France ? Oversimplification, I know, but come on Star !
Has Spain ever won? That is a very strong team.
Never even made the podium. Best result ever is a 4th place, in 2002 and 2024.
Francisco García and Oriol Oliver are the reserve riders.
