Newmann
MX1: Webb
MX2: Osborne
MX3: J-Mart or Barcia
I really hope they send a team.
The Shop
My pick would be:
1. Anderson
2. Osborne
3. Webb
If Anderson isn't available then:
1. Webb
2. Osborne
3. Barcia
If Webb and Anderson aren't available then:
1. Barcia
2. Osborne
3. Craig
If Barcia, Webb and Anderson aren't available then:
1. Craig
2. Osborne
3. Savatgy
Anything different than the above we will struggle to podium. It sucks that we have 3 potential obvious picks in barcia, Webb and Anderson possibly out due to injuries. It really sucks that we have a guy who isn't hurt and arguably the fastest in the world just sitting out because he doesn't feel like going.
Edit: somehow I forgot about Baggett. But I won't include him in on scenarios because we pretty much know he's out of it due to pending surgery.
Jmart 450
Plessinger 450
Jmart and Plessy should be in 450s next year anyway. And assuming no webb, bagget, barcia, anderson or a mart, jeez thats a long list. I thought guys only got hurt in SX?
MX2: Osborne
MX3: J-Mart on an HRC 450
Anyway, I think Covington should be in there, but so should Osborne, and they're both MX2 riders until someone shows me they're not. Tomac said he's out, right? Baggett has a nagging injury, right? Barcia, Anderson and Webb are injured for the moment. So who's supposed to ride an MX1 bike?
Honestly I'd pick Webb, Savatgy and Osbourne with Osbourne (MX Open). I doubt we win this year but that'd be a solid team at the very least.
My picks:
MX1: Ryan Dungey
MX2: ZachO
MX3: Matt Goerke
Pit Row
Lets assume Anderson, Barcia, Baggett are all out which some already are.
This is probably our best team we have.
1. Osbourne
2. Webb
3. Pieck
You could easily argue for Seeley, or Craig I guess. However, I think we need a little muscle on this team and Seeley Craig don't have it.
If we can get one good moto from Pieck and then have Osborne and Webb hold the fort down we have a good shot at winning.
That's our best team right now based on who's available.
With that being said, go with:
MX1: Webb
MX2: Osborne
Open: Seely
1. Craig
2. Osborne
3. Savatgy"
I'm thinking this will be the team if Seely isn't picked. Given the variables I don't hold it against Tomac for opting out. The trend of riders like him and Dungey choosing not to participate may be a good thing for US motocross. It's a fantastic opportunity for deserving riders like Craig to get a ton of exposure.
And I think Webb or Barcia, considering their past MXdN experience and their capacity to rise to the occasion in one off races would be a much better idea than picking someone like Alessi... I'd pick Seely and Peick over Alessi.

And the Canadian nationals are a bit of a step down from the AMA nationals dude.
