Sure, if you subscribe to the idea that putting a 450 rider on a 250 is best but I think AC is better than Osborne on a 250 right now.

Agreed, even though this is quote on quote our B team, I don’t see out A team coming over to prepare this much. (Tomac, AC, Anderson) obviously Anderson would have....

I am happy with the team that is over there! Anderson, Osborne and Cooper will push every lap no matter what and you can not say that about some of the other riders that have represented the USA in the last few years. I can not say that I blame those other riders as risking injury along with extending their season another month for nothing but bragging rights takes a very special kind of person. Thanks guys, go team USA!

If they win, which is a distinct possibility, does Tomac then want to go in future?

I heard that it was Kawasaki that did not want Adam and Eli to go not the riders?

From the stuff I’ve heard about the Kawi effort last year. The team is most certainly better off without them. This is the best prepared team they could possibly have

If Anderson is going to bootcamp in Europe for a month and take the race seriously I'd take him everyday over someone who feels obligated to go and looks like he's not even trying to win.

I don’t think it matters! They’re all hard working and fast as hell! I don’t imagine any of them actually need the month of prep..... I think they’re just excited as hell to get over there and represent our country in such a high profile.

I relish being the underdog especially with this group of riders. I can't wait to watch things unfold next weekend.

There is only 1 Team USA and nobody else matters. Like not even a little fucking bit.

The current team actually has their heart into this so I pick them every day of the week. I’m young but can’t remember the last time a team went over a month early

Honestly? The team that was willing to go over early and bust their assess. You can see the level of comfort improve, I believe, from the first video to the latest one. I feel like you have to have a certain degree of humbleness in you to do this the way they have. You're basically saying "We know how good you guys are in the deep sand and to have any real chance we're going to go over and basically learn how it's done in front of the world (filming everything) and the GP riders sharing the tracks with us."

Our "B team" are all solid picks for MXDN because starts are super important and you need someone who isn't affraid to ride a bit dirty through the pack.

Justin Cooper beat AC both motos at WW Ranch, a flat-ish sand track. He (AC) and Tomac have proven to be a bit shaky in high pressure situations, so there's no guarantee they'd do better at a race like MXDN.

I personally think that Eli could have been the weakest link in MXoN in Assen. To me it looks like that when he is in his zone he dominates but when his feeling is bit off he underperforms, he isn't able to power thru the adversity... And believe me there is a lot of being "off" with what they will experience in Assen.

Team USA is fine, just fringe podium contender regarding the conditions but no reason for throwing the whole MXoN event under the bus.
