Just listed to the Cairoli podcast with Matthes. He asked him about running some Nationals at some point. Looking at both the GP and AMA schedule, Southwick is on Aug. 11th which is a weekend off for the GPs. The GP on Aug 19th is in Great Britain so that would be an easier travel from MA.
Both Cairoli and Herlings should have the opportunity to come over for this race. They are both great sand riders so this track makes the most sense for both of them.

Did they say that they are actually planning on it?

Would be cool though.
There is still 4 more GP's to go after Southwick. No way MX1 or MX2 class championships are decided by then already.
It'd take some doing,Desalle did it but it wasn't without it's problems,pity Stewart couldn't do a GP or 2 if he's not doing the Nationals,I'm sure the Factory team would acommodate him right?
On a slightly different note - I'm probably alone in this but if I had to bet against the odds on something, I think Cairoli will go for a full time AMA Nationals deal at some point. Whenever I hear him talk about it in interviews I always get the impression it's sort of in the back of his mind. Obviously SX is a non starter.
It would be great if Cairoli or Herlings would come over for one race, but there main concern is the GP title.
Pit Row
Maybe we will see RV in mid season over at a GP then and read about his chances on a Euro message board?
Don't get me wrong, I think Dungey and Barcia are the only two right now that can take a crack at him (RV) on a US track....but outside of the three hour timezezone and having to get back for the series you are paid to ride and on a track he's never been too with different fuel and jetting and motors and the wife left at home and the daddy and the media not tweeting and different fans wanting a piece of you.........not so sure that RV can just show up over there and get it done.
So this silliness about talking bad on Cairoli say's more about your posting than the multi time World Champion
As knowitallover explains,it's a lot of upheaval,its one thing for the MXdN when things are over but in the middle of the series is another,a lot of sacrifice and a lot to lose if they're in the title hunt,I wouldn't entirely count it out as its been done before a few times,shame it didn't happen the other way at Glen Helen the last couple of years for fans to see,RV says he'd like to come over for a GP but even if he has his title wrapped up I don't see it yet,even if its in the same country as the MXdN because that means a huge amount
