I think they will ask him, but if he says no they probably won't be going. I would hope he would say yes if asked. He said he really wanted to race. He has a chance to step in and be the hero. I fear there are too many ego's involved for this to work though

thats a slap in the face to Marvin . a big one ... and not the first one
Yeah that's shitty if it's true. I guess we will have to wait and see how it plays out

Depuis la lourde chute de Romain Febvre au GP de Turquie, l’inquiétude ne fait qu’augmenter au sein de la FFM. Pour des bonnes raisons. Ce n’est pas encore annoncé officiellement mais le pilote Yamaha ne roulerait pas à RedBud. Le scénario catastrophe prend forme devant les yeux effarés de Jacques Bolle. Avec Febvre blessé, Marvin Musquin devient remplaçant de luxe. La conversation téléphonique entre Pascal Finot et le pilote KTM se s’est pas éternisée. Pas seulement à cause du décalage horaire d’ailleurs. C’est la douche froide pour les instances de la Fédération. Il est difficile d’en vouloir à Marvin qui, passé à autre chose, profite de vacances bien méritées. Mais le temps presse. La recherche d’un pilote 450 capable de remplacer Febvre au dernier moment s’intensifie depuis quelques jours. Jordi Tixier et Xavier Boog sont contactés sans attendre.

De pire en pire
D’après nos sources « internes », remplacer Febvre n’est pas aussi facile qu’il y parait. Il y a un petit souci de taille : Gautier Paulin n’est pas chaud pour rouler avec un remplaçant autre que Marvin Musquin. Hors le français expatrié a déjà refusé la proposition d’intérimaire. Tout cela n’est pas bon pour la cohérence de groupe chère à Jacques Bolle. Autant dire que le bateau prend l’eau de toute part. Pour couronner le tout, le président aurait menacé d’annuler le voyage dans le Michigan si aucune solution valable n’était trouvée. Alors que nos trois pilotes devraient seulement se concentrer sur une 5ème victoire consécutive, l’ambiance générale est en berne. Comme dirait un « insider » qui souhaite garder l’anonymat : « s’ils avaient sélectionné Marvin à la place de Gautier, on aurait aujourd’hui l’équipe de France idéale pour les Nations à RedBud : Marvin, Dylan et Gautier. » Ce n’est pas faute de l’avoir dit…

If I'm Marv, I'd say I will race, only if these idiots Finot and Bolle stay at home.

So much this. His country and fans around the world deserve to see him race but not these clowns!

They have shown Marv so much disrespect through this whole process. I'd be very upset to see him just fold up like a lawn chair and race for them at this point.

I'd be curious how many American riders would have to sit out before Team USA decides not to show up.

like they did at lierop in 2004 you mean.. didn't come because of a couple of injuries. knew they wouldn't win
More false information from the guy who probably has an American shrine in his closet. I remember it being due to RC switching teams going from Honda to Suzuki and James moving up a class and they wanted to focus on SX right away. I believe RC even wrote a letter about his descion. Windham now he probably didn't want to go he hates sand.
