Seems to be, that the Coenen brothers are both  hurt atleast a little.  The Spanish team seems to have their best chance for any time I can remember.  Like the title says, jmho.

Spain on top with Switzerland, Belgium and USA in any order to fill out the box

France and Spain neck and neck.

I would say Spain has the slight advantage on paper because Valin has only just got back on the bike, but France has pulled this off, what 5 times now, so they know how to dig deep.

I'd agree with that, Valin being the only question.  I will say, I think Belgium is pretty much cooked this year.  Sasha ate it hard yesterday.

While I’d obviously love for Coop and the boys to crush it…

Spain winning would be pretty damn cool! 💪🏼

I mean other than Spain and France, every other country is going to send B squads or even C squads like in our case.

If you’re sending your C squad - curious to know which 6 riders you would have put ahead of your chosen team?

MXGP - Deegan

Open - Cooper, Sexton, Hampshire, Marchbanks, Tomac

MX2 - Hymas or JuJu

Agreed, Spain has to be the favorite, especially with DeWolf out. Belgium should be strong but the top 2 riders aren't 100%. France most important rider (mx2) isn't anywhere near 100%. I think Latvia makes the podium. May need a little luck

Spain on paper, but we all know how things can change really fast. Good luck to all teams either way 👍

Hot take: they won't make it to the top 10.

As a fan of the Swiss team, this is a more accurate thought. Spain, France, USA, Belgium, Netherlands, Latvia, Slovenia are all easily better

Absolute lottery at this point. Riders are dropping like flies and teams constantly changing.

As it stands, I wouldn't put it past USA to win. Or it could be Spain. Or France. I'd love to see the Aussies 3 peat. It could turn biblical and a dark horse could take it

I haven’t watched the highlights of the GP in Turkey yet, but I saw Fernandez took a pretty good digger in qualifying. Did he come out OK?

Can't argue with Spain and France, but Netherlands will still be strong if they go with Vlaaderen to replace de Wolf.

US is still strong overall, as are Italy (Adamo, Bonacorsi and Zanchi) and Latvia might be sneaky good with the Reisulis bros and Jonass.
