And even if he doesn’t go, a team with Anderson, Osborne, Adam or Cooper is more than capable of winning so they must send a team no matter what

I'll happily take a wager from anyone that Team USA don't finish top 3.
But no, they won't beat either Prado or Geerts and a normal day, but how well do you think Spains 2nd and 3rd riders will do? Belgium might be really good, but Desalle and Lieber is injured, Stribjos past his prime a little bit.
Three solid results makes the podium.
USA might not have the best sand riders in the world, but they'd still top 10 in each class, which means when you split it they'd each be top 5 in their class. That's podium right there
Jasikonis
Anstie
Van Horebeek
Paulin
Tonus
Coldenhoff
Cairoli
Herlings
Gajser
Prado
Olsen
Vaessen
Jacobi
Geerts
Watson
These guys are all very good sand riders who are used to riding the conditions. Bike set up, riding style, conditioning will all play a part as well as travel, food and burn out
Herlings on his worst day still beats every one of the above guys
You underestimate the US riders. They are no Herlings, Cairoli or Prado but I'd put them around Jasikonis, Van Horebeek and Paulin, but most importantly they are solid as a team. Also so many of the top guys are injured.
There a lot of riders to get in their way that are better at riding sand, plus the MXoN is 3 months away, plenty of time for some riders to heal up and get back in the groove
I agree neither Wick or WW is the same as either Lommel or Assen, but Assen isn't really like Lommel either. Assen is a bit weird.
Pick the best team you can and get behind them. They will give the best they can on the day and barring mistakes and bad luck, they should contend for a good result.
What on paper endorses any of the riders USA has as World level sand riders?
How many of you guys are travelling over for the event?
Never underestimate what he is capable of.He is extremely determined. He's like Barcia, he'd rather die than give up.
You cant compare the Maxxis to MXGP or MXoN
Heres his full results, 7 years ago he got an 9th
Pit Row
I can assure you that this is a different Zach than 7 years ago. And he absolutely has the speed. Guess we'll just wait and see who the US sends and what the results are.
Anderson
Barcia
Flip a coin for who rides 250 between Barcia and osbourne, Prob drop osbourne down as he's not far removed from a familiar 250 hqv.
I think that team could podium if they all ride to potential
The best way to get better at something is to move to the other side of the world and not ride those tracks anymore......
