This every year seems to be more and more of joke. If they are going to pick Covington then get a couple of more riders from the States that can compete also. Or hell pick the 3 riders that are over riding the Gp's.

No disrespect to the token Puerto Rican rider, but they have a good shot at the A final without him.

If they have Covington and Sanjai, they will make the A final for sure.

That's awesome to hear! Congrat's Justin! Give em' hell.
And there goes Jeffro. One of God's own prototypes. A super high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Do they have Darian? yeah, they could be top 10-15 with that team.
And I don't think team PR is a joke, as we have so many more top riders than any other single country. I think we need a team Guam also! haha

How do they decide who is in the sweet spot between "Better off taking a Puerto Rican" and "Too fast to not raise any eyebrows"?

I dont get it. To ride for Team Puerto Rico, shouldnt you have to be...well.. puerto rican? Who knows, maybe he can get a nice bike out of it. Or at least a spicy latina with a nice place on the shore.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth like Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Mass. All are recognized as US citizens.
As a side note, Puerto Rico has voted to become the 51st state.
much ty. How to spot a paid forum poster/artificial forum traffic producer (see list of actions/phrases below):
Copius pattern amounts of phrases like “Anyone have”..., “Anybody know?”.... and their variations.
Thoughts?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

It'll never happen. They're too far in debt.

I get the politics, I live in NYC with many people from puerto Rico. What is confusing is how we were able to make 2 american teams out of this. Maybe we can have 3 as the American Samoan Islands are as well

This.
If it's a separate country how come Americans can ride for them?
If it's part of the US then how come you can enter two teams?

In professional surfing, USA and Hawaii are two different countries on the World Tour. When the olympics come around, the Hawaiians that make the team will have to surf for Team USA.

Team Puerto Rico is BULL CRAP.
Its nothing but a bunch of often rich privateers who knock teams WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THERE (like New Zealand) out of the A final.
It shouldn't be allowed.
Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting
