Looks like Jimmy Mac wont be allowed to race the MXON for Team Puerto Rico
due to the fact that he's not a real person.
With Team Australia racing without Reed and Reed wanting to race, why not
race for Puerto Rico. He's a legal citizen and enjoys racing a 2-stroke.?
I also think he'll raise just as much money if not more, Sorry Jimmy.

I have one thing about this, especially the last 2 sentences. I agree that we need to have serious guys on the line, but some of the countries that go, their riders are mid pack intermediates at best here in the states or in Europe... Ronnie would blow the doors off of those guys. So is it more of what he stands for, or more so of this guy that's retired and rides under a fictional name would go out and smoke some of the countries that show up? A few years ago a rider went for a South American country and the dude rode intermediate in the states. Wasn't even close to being on pace and was in the way during qualifying... I know Ronnie isn't the greatest role model, but the dude can ride a dirt bike and make it in the A final no problem.
Besides, the MXDN isn't what it once was anyways. It's another GP race sprinkled with a few other countries with slower riders that won't make the final and 3 Americans. Winning country gets a little more bragging rights than they would at a USGP race, but it sure as hell isn't what it used to be.
Yes it's noble to want to raise money for Puerto Rican relief, but where do you draw the line when it comes to the MXd? If this is a publicity stunt, then this is not the time or place to do it. If they are serious, then they need to change the PR direction and let people know that they are in it to represent Puerto Rico in a professional manner. If you lived in PR would you want the rest of the world to think that Ronnie Mac (Albertson) is who you chose to represent your nation?
There are plenty of top 10 AMA guys that would love to ride the MXd for PR. Let the guys who are serious racers right now take that opportunity, having 6 fast AMA guys on the gate would be a pretty cool sight.
So I say let them race the Monster Cup and the Red Bull straight rhythm to raise money for Puerto Rico and leave the MXd for the serious racers.
He wasnt an adult who moved here.
he belongs.... Youtube
This doesn't belong in the MXON's
That said. Would be cool of Reed, and while we’re dreaming, it’d be a sizable “fuck you” to add musquin and watch him do well, too
But that isn't the point, and I do agree with DC on this front. This is still arguably the pinnacle of our sport, and it shouldn't be reduced to the lowest common denominator, which is what this Ronnie Mac character does, and he isn't even real so it feels cheap. And I also think that this race is as important as it used to be and the level of riders has never been higher. There are a lot of bad ass motocrossers at this event, and this has also been a true constant too.
Get Reed on that team, get them on 4 strokes (sorry, I love 2 strokes), and put in an effort worthy of the event.

I know everyone has a different opinion on this though. It’s controversial lol. It should be fun though!
