Sorry I had to start that thread, since I guess after 10 more days it will be a loooong time until I can write a headline like that.
But i like our chances this year too, with Nagl hopefully back at speed after his Eppstein-Barr Problems, and Roczen also hopefully doing what he is used to do at the MXoNs, we are maybe fighting for a spot on the podium. I think Ullrich, on a good day, is able to at least put in one good moto, which should put us up there in the top 5.

My guess is, that team USA will be the team to beat with only Belgium as a real contender to them.
After these two teams it is wide open for a lot of teams, but I hope the fans will push team Germany to join the teams mentioned above on the podium!

Can't wait for the races!

Roczen's hat is not backwards- he must be feeling patriotic!

I like those hat graphics.

Solid team. Just hope Nagl will bring his A game, and Ulrich will shine at least once. Kenny will kick 450's ass, no doubt.

Yes, I am kind of worried about Nagls strengh after the sickness, although he seemed to be ok last weekend when he won both motos at the MX Masters race in Jauer. And yeah, I know Ullrich can be fast, not top top 10 GP fast, but nearly when he is on. But nobody knows how his nerves play with him on his first MXoN.

However, it will be an epic weekend with our guys running #1, #2 and #3 on home turf!

If they all ride to their potential, a podium is possible. Problem is, there are five or six teams with that chance.

So many question marks about so many teams, apart from Team USA.

I said at Lierop last year that one good ride from Schiffer , and Germany were in with a shot.... same applies this year, Ullrich needs to hang it out in his first race and see what happens.. if he makes top 10 , the other two need to deliver.

The waiting is almost done , soon we will know.

hope Germany can follow their awesome win last year with a great performance for 2nd this year

I think nagl's one ind gear looks killer. The rest......not so much

I would love to see these guys get on the podium in front of the home crowd. Just not on the top step

I dont really know, I hope for a Podium but Ullrich has to handle the pressure... I mean he works 40hrs a week like the rest of us, I just dont think youre able to race at that top peak level while you cant really train during the week
But Podium should be possible since Nagl and Ullrich are both incredible starters and its hard to pass in Tthal and Roczen always passes like 50 people in the first lap

That shows you how BIG motocross is in the country of the reigning MXoN champions, when one of the 5 fastest MXers in the country still has to work 40 hours a week to make a living. And that makes that win last year even more special.

Did I mention that I can't wait for the races? :-)
