All

Not going to be a pretty sight, Possible 5-7th overall.

Exactly

Don't underestimate penguins

If a rider that's picked refuses to compete he should be blacklisted from future consideration.

You're right :-)

All the excuses just add up to a pile of crap. Your motorcycle federation honors you by picking you as one of the 3 best riders to bring the Chamberlain Trophy home for a year, It's understandable that a rider doesn't want to be know as one of the team that wasn't even on the podium, losers. When was the...

They have started early this year

No GPs are held on the MXoN track during the season it's held at that track, what about holding it in the country that won it the year before so they are defending the Chamberlain trophy on home soil before thier home fans, that's fair.

The weekend of being schooled

It's the main event of the year to showcase the downward spiral of the the USA fighting to even get on the podium against the GP riders. Sour grapes when you are being beaten. Who wants to be known as a rider on the team that lost?

They can't stand the heat, they don't go into the kitchen. USA was not going to podium anyway this year.

Not so interested in who steps up but what the excuses are for not riding on your home track in your home country against the best in the world. It would be quite embarrassing to have the recent years MXoN results in your home country,

That's the one, Bellpuig, You couldn't even walk from the camping to the track. The mud was like glue and heavy... Unbelievable

I just retread my original post, I was intending on Martens to be on Everts team, sorry about the MXGP reference. Was mistaken on his age though, 26 is not acceptable.

Wasn't aware of that, I thought I heard Malin mention he was only 20? That's out of the question then.

I agree, Good ride and potential. Reminds me of Kino. Still think another young talent ( Martens) would add some future to the Everts team, Need to use Strijbos as the wise experienced teacher while he has some drive left in him.

Oh so close, but no treat reward for the attempt

Going to be stacked on the MXGP gate next season, who is Everts going to throw into the mix, Martens?

Patriots don't rest.

What they "come for"and reality are two different things. Could be no smiling team USA faces on the podium this year.
