If Bubba is healthy and willing when it's time let him ride the MXON.
Right now he's healthy, full of energy, ready to make a statement and has plenty of time to prepare.
Pick the class, Bubba's not scared.
If DeCoster or anyone else has doubts then have some full moto time trials, head to head competition, whatever. Let the chips fall where they may, but guarantee him if he wins that then he will be on the team. He's been down the road of "maybe, we'll see" before.
Looking forward to some good racing this outdoor season and then picking and sending our best of the best at the time to attempt to get that damn trophy back.
Surprised Toronto wasn't on the list.. that was legendary.
edit: just realized it was written in February 2014
I agree, if there is an updated list Toronto should be on top. I don't save any supercross races but this one is still stored on my laptop. Absolutely amazing.

Not gonna happen.
It's extremely doubtful he'll even race the last two nationals, his words, and he wasn't getting picked when he did race them because he wasn't the best guy.
Your team should be RV 450, Dungey Open and Eli 250. Send your three best guys like they used too.
We have so many good riders to choose from. Just because Bubba hasn't decided at this point if he may or may not ride the last two races that shouldn't be the end all. Do you think he is going to be just setting on the couch all summer? Don't you think he might be itching to prove a thing or two and would be more than prepared to do so if given an opportunity?
You don't think Bubba could run with Tomac on a 250 if he wanted to, especially with the amount of time he has to prepare? Make him or Tomac both earn the right to be the 250 rider or whatever class rider on the team. We have some other pretty fast guys running the 250 class as well, let's line them up at the time and see who comes up on top.
Dungey and/or Villopoto may not even want to go or be our best bet at the time.
He's said himself he's not gonna race the nationals, and the straight rhythm will be his next race... Past that, it's pretty silly to think that he'll get chosen for an event that's high pressure, when he hasn't raced in over a year and wasn't the best guy when he was, and even though Decoster is not necessarily a fan anyways, he's not exactly being given a reason to chose him is he...
And Dungey or RV not wanting too? RV has whenever he's been available and Dungey has been 6 straight, and is in the middle of maybe his form year... Not likely
Whether James can run with anyone has never, and will never be the question.
Not gonna happen.

I agree about "not gonna happen". However USA tried the same strategy for the last years: pick the two best american 450 riders in the nationals and then the best american in 250. Unfortunately USA did not win. Perhaps they need to take a risk for once and go all out:

I agree with this. Unless someone has an unbelievable, dominant year on a 250, thats the USA's strongest team.
Regardless of whether or not Stewart is determined to prove a point, the chances of DeCoster picking him having not raced all season are extremely slim to none
Had to go back and watch that again. James absolutely put on a clinic in that race and showed a ton of focus to be able pick apart the field like he did.
Man, If they made all the SX tracks as technical as Toronto, there's no telling how many more wins and c'ships James would have in SX! I think they solved the "James Stewart Conundrum" after 2009 when they started making cookie cutter indoor MX tracks where basically the holeshot wins it. They will occasionally throw a technical track out there every now and then these days(A2 -2011, Daytona 2011, Monster Cup 2013, Toronto 2014 etc....)

You think James hasn't won the last 6 championships because the tracks weren't technical enough?
He seemed to crash himself out of plenty non-technical races then.

I just went and did the same thing. That ride was incredible.

James would probably be a better bet on the 250F than Eli. He might even be a better bet than Dungey.

A lot of people mention Toronto 14 and Budds Creek 03. I don't think we can put those rides above the rides where he gets the holeshot and wins by 20 seconds (SX) or a minute (MX). The only difference is that he got a worse start. He was equally above his competition in every instance. I personally don't think getting a bad start should mean that ride gets placed above another one where he holeshotted and dominated. The start is part of the race too. That's just my opinion though. Take it for what it's worth.

Pit Row
P
It's the bike...
It's the DeCoster...
It's the ADHD(that nobody knew about, even Mike Webb)...
It's a paperwork error(for 2 years)...
It's USADA, WADA or FIM
Did I miss any?
And no, Larry Brooks wasn't on "family leave"!
Name the last season James was full time in motocross and at the top of his game.
Funny isn't it... it's the last time he was on the team. Get over yourself.
