I heared that rumor too. Would be awesome if it's true, because I will be there to watch the races live.

That would be awseome. Herlings v Baggett v Searle!

lets hope Dungey does the same in the 450s!

Yes thats the race Roczen will ride the 450. Earlier this year there was even some talk that Dungey will race this one too... hmm

But Roelants only dislocated his hip on Saturday didn't he?

Unless its been in the pipeline for a while, but Im not sure why they would potentially jeopardise the Nations if that was the case.

Sounds interesting but it would all fall apart if he gets injured.

For sure I would like to see it happen though.....

Then Tomac steps in and we still romp since he's far superior to Blake in sand anyways. I say go for it Blake, let's see some racers who actually want to race.

Blake will not be racing the last GP. He will be practicing in the sand in Belgium. Period, and end of story. Start another thread. He nor the team care about the last GP. They care about winning the following weekend.

In retrospect this is most probably accurate unfortunately. Iv'e heard Dungey time and time again say that Roger wants the team over there as early as possible to prepare for the deep sand (recognising the potential difficulty of Lommel). I can't see Blake wanting to lose a weekend racing the German GP as well as having Roger go along with it. And to be fair, it's probably the right decision. Obviously with Roczen it's a different story. It's his home GP and he already has much experience with the deep sand and Lommel.

Having said that, the last National is on the 8th and the MXDN isn't until the 30th. So there is a gap there if testing goes well and BB just happens to feel like it.

Is that from a source of any kind? Or a strong personal opinion?

Don't forget that next years MXoN will be held at Teutschenthal too. So maybe the US-Riders / Team are kind of checking the track to gain some information for next year?? Just a thought...

Is it Teuschantal? If so there is NO point, that place is harder than a freeway, would probably give Carlsbad a run for it's money...

From J.J. Luisetti, the CLS Pro Circuit team manager, Maxime Desprey will be on Joel Roelants bike for the last two GPs.

Here are some fun facts from Southwick in recent history:

Southwick 2011
BB 9-6 for 5th overall
ET 14-32 14th overall

Southwick 2012
BB 3-1 1st overall
ET 1-3 2nd overall

Eli is "far superior to Blake in sand anyways"?? Looks different in the record books if you ask me.

He will ride the rest of the GP's then? He sits 3rd in point in the european championship.
That would be great for Mike Kras who is 4th in point at the moment.

Here's some fun facts about those 2 years that the finish positions don't show.

2011 - Southwick was a monsoon, Many riders had their bikes die and other mechanical issues.

2012 - Tomac was 15 seconds behind baggett with 5 laps to go, he closed the gap, made the pass and then went down.
