With all the recent posts ref the MXON, something that's come up a fair bit is the general decline of interest in motocross in the US. SX is now the priority for teams, riders, sponsors etc.
My question is, if say Tomac, or Dungey (came out of retirement) & announced they were going to campaign for a world MXGP title in 2018, went 1-1 at the opening 4 rounds & developed a commanding league in arguably the deeped 450 class available.
Would anyone care ?
Would a US rider bringing home a World MX title matter to anyone ?
Would it help put MX back on the map & make motocross more relevant again in US?
I just wonder if your elite staying national has made MX a bit stale.
Thoughts please

I also don't know where this talk came from of the US not giving a shit about the Nationals or MXON.

Charbouneu and Weltin even less since they are "only" in EMX250(the toughest "amateur" class in the world).
Put Barcia on Everts factory Suzuki team and people from USA will pay more attention.
Sanayei has also had a decent rookie season.
Supercross is the biggest fan base
